Confirmed 5.3 info for F2Ps

Read the preliminary patch notes. This bracket is not getting a resilience buff (we may even lose resilience on BOAs) and Battle Fatigue is going to be adjusted to tone down healing.

65% resilience is not an end-game PvP buff. It will probably end up being a wash or a slight nerf, depending on how much gear retains resilience.

The current head of PvP development is doing a surprisingly good job - way better than his predecessors.

Of this you are correct. My fully PvP gear end game shaman is sitting right at 65%.

As far as mana issues go, there are mana issues in many brackets. There are very very few that do not have issues.

I basically solo'd BFD on my enh shaman in cata while my group was running around lost. I'm pretty sure any dungeon is soloable as a shaman of any spec.
 
New build 16781, resilience is not removed from BoA's, but it's value has been reduced:


Resilience nerfed : live 1 res ~ 0.638%, PTR 1 res = 0.202%
Resilience increased for 85+ only: 20's still have 40%, but 90s now show 65%

Battle fatigue change not yet implemented (NYI)

I wouldn't mind seeing lava lash do 1000% weapon damage, plus 500 additional. and an extra 80% damage if flametongue is on.
 
Nerfing BoA resil will make us easier pickings for the people gemming and doing cloak enchants for PVP power. Are those items getting touched by 5.3?

Redesigning PvP gear altogether means BOA gear will most likely get redesigned as well. Would make no sense to remove Resilience from them and have them be completely out-classed by Justice BOA's.

I suspect we'll be seeing the Resilience Values on gear replaced with PvP Power.

Yes the effects of resi conferred by looms are reduced by about 70%. Did you really think you could escape MM/AGM farming ?

And Battle fatigue now reduces heals by 50%. Enjoy.

Confirmed on PTR, Battle Fatigue is now 50% baseline. gg healers, hope you enjoyed your stay

Until the next over-tuned monstrosity rears it's ugly head.

I'll check the change to Dalaran arena ("Masons of Dalaran have been hard at work installing steps in the two remaining corners of the arena.").

I'm pretty sure they're changing Blade's Edge arena too, adding stairs instead of the two grey pillars attached to ropes.

If it comes to pass, everyone with PvP BoAs hit harder and healing is nerfed. That should make things interesting.

Wouldn't that put the potential PvP power of a morally ambiguous level 24 around 37. Your typical f2p will be getting blown up like were PvE mobs.

Won't really make a difference for horde players. 92% of the players in healing specs are spamming DPS spells currently.
