Bracket levels changed?

[CIHC]

I see a 19 rogue, 19 hunter and a 16 hunter within the next expansion package...



20 brackets? Whoop



Mages - Blink, they could be the next FC

 

[Spooksters]

Blink would indeed be amazing for mages, as would icy touch (drooool) but im not sure if it would be better than travel form/ghost wolf for FC'ing...it would definitely help them however, and lol a rogue/warrior would NEVER kill a frost mage

Icy touch is a DK spell...

 

[Spooksters]

Icy veins :3 you know what I meant, shush

I think a rogue could kill an ice mage. The mage of course would have to not acknowledge the existence of the rogue or get crip poison applied to them.

 

[Spooksters]

True enough If the rogue was able to get on and stay on the mage with crip poison, it might work...but if the mage is smart with the poison-first aid stuff, I doubt it

Pallies with flash of light wouldn't be too bad.



If this is released it would actually add back some balance especially with rogue poisons.

think for a minute:



Hunters with x2 cruel barbs with 22 int on each.



just mull that over a bit.

With Aimed Shot and Disengage... two of three new things that Contribute to Hunter dominance in 20-29... Hunters will still be dominating other DPSers in an 11-20 bracket.

 

[Spooksters]

Yeah they would, but with Crippling Poison and Frost Shock they would still be controllable

 

[Grabco]

Hunters are already OP so making them more OP doesn't really matter to me. 68 AP on weapons and a ton of mana is pretty good though.



I'm more excited that pallies would get a ranged attack. Has anyone looked at glyphs yet?

 

[Druiddroid]

hunters are more OP at 29 than they are at 19, mainly cause of aimed shot, disengage, and freeze trap...

This. Back when hunters had a casted Aimed Shot and no Disengaged there were no problems at all : /

 

[Conrose]

Yeah they would, but with Crippling Poison and Frost Shock they would still be controllable

Rogues will still be lacking Imp Sprint and Cheap Shot, and have to deal with Freezing Traps. The Ghostwolf buff combined with Frostshock are about the only things that can effectively counter the disengage by lvl 20... but the Aimed Shot debuff makes it a terribly difficult fight still.

 

[Spooksters]

Oh yeah, I'm not saying it'll be balanced, and hunters will still rock everything - but if a rogue get get on the hunter with crip poison, he has a CHANCE of killing him - where as right now...that doesn't really happen



also, what'll happen to the level 71-80 bracket? Made me think this was fake...but what if this is their plan for the "Rated BG's?" if you aren't in rated bg's, you can face people 71-80 - if you do rated BG's maybe its only 80s?

 

[kablam]

I wouldn't worry about/get excited over moves obtained from talent trees because in the xpac they said they would be revamping all the talent trees. And as for DW 22 int hunters, THEY DONT HAVE MANA ANYMORE.

 

[Grabco]

However, As previously stated this is for patch 3.2.2 so for the time between 3.2.2 and expansion this might actually matter.

 

[elocon]

This is what I thinks gonna happend if the make brackets from X1-X0:

They make it X1-X0 brackets, every twink level up 1 level and have fun.

1 or 2 patches later they change it back to x0-x9 again

Maybe this is also setting things up for 81-85 possibly? because 71-80 wouldn't be any fun for people lvling up in BGs

 

[Swarfega]

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.

That would be my fear...
