Bracket levels changed?

3.2.2 PTR Patch Notes say:



Battlegrounds



* Players level 11 and higher will always see a daily Battleground quest, as the quest giver will only offer daily quests for a Battleground in which a player is eligible to participate according to level bracket (i.e. players levels 11-20 will always be offered a Warsong Gulch daily quest, while players levels 11-50 will be offered either an Arathi Basin or a Warsong Gulch daily quest, etc.).




Did they change the bracket levels to 11-20, 21-30, ... ?
 
sorta like the old system then, shammies at 30 with windfury/warriors at 40 rocking pendulum + ms

I doubt it, the battlegrounds along time ago use to be 11-20, 21-30, and so forth.



Blizzard change it because the talent gotten at that lvl made things ungodly for them compared to people even one level lower.





Yeah i know why they changed it but why do they use those strange level brackets in the PTR notes?
 
Blizzard just wants x0 not to join new battlegrounds. Only they reach x1. They can easily give daily quest for x5-x9 for example, so noobs wouldnt even know about battlegrounds without seeing "!".
 
IMO If this was true it would just be a way to get a lot of twinks to level up to 20, and then once a good amount of the twink population leveled, they would just change it back to 10-19. I dunno for sure, but its a thought.
 
We'll see, this is how it used to be, and it got changed for a reason, I highly doubt they will switch it back once more - if they do...there will be some interesting 50/40/30/20 point talents being used ^^ not to mention mounts in EVERY bracket? O:

Ahhh. Interesting note there. Perhaps they want everyone in a bracket to BE the highest level, so they can benefit from those sorts of advantages?
 
Oh hey - im not saying im for it :p Because shit like THAT conrose, Aimed shot for hunters at 20? Woo, just what we need -.- but it'll also mean epic mounts in the 30's (which is partially the reason they changed it before, so EVERYONE in the 40-49 bracket had access to mounts, not just level 40's in the 31-40 bracket.

Hehe, if it came to it though, I'd go for Scattershot... my favorite hunter ability of the lot.
 
Yeah, I would be tempted to go 100% perfect fire set on my mage and blow people up with Pyroblast xD I can see you getting scatter shot though :) From what I've seen you aren't a cookie cutter follower, you're a try-something-different leader ^^ Some of the level 20 abilities WOULD be kinda neat though, like blink, and cat form (maybe feral druid dps? :p) and starfall. Mind flay might be neat as well for a more dps build priest



the most amazing part would be rogues with instant and crippling poison, and dismantle though probably xD and warlocks with succubus might be useful aswell...

Here's how I'd go.



Pick out a healer. Run up and smack em, run back and multi-shot. Scattershot would occur at 4.5 seconds. Wait on Raptor Strike cooldown and repeat. I average between 450-750 damage with each combo (I typically kite Warriors and Paladins). What I would do to cookicutter hunters... oh boy what I would do to them. I beat them senseless as it is.



But yeah, between 11-point talents and level 20 skills, the bracket's classes would become alot more interesting.



BTW... if you go with Pyroblast mage during Cataclysm... may I suggest Nelf just so you can wait midfield... by a stump... in shadowmeld... for someone important. I did that sorta thing on my 29 Nelf hunter even after Aimed Shot/Shadowmeld nerf.
 
rofl, the shadowmelt aimed shot crap was OP :p We'll see if this change even goes live, its so far away that im just imagining where it COULD go :p
