No.

BIS gear will come from dungeons and battleground crates. There is no “one bis set” though because there’s a handful of options for every slot (except helms, you get one choice) to gear however you like.
 
It's a shame, but neat to those of us who snagged it.

I had absolutely awful luck getting the Warforged version, didn't get a single piece for my Rogue. However, I almost have a full set of the Warforged on my Hunter minus the belt. I also have a full set of the regular on Rogue and Warrior. And one piece of the highest iLevel form of it on an alt paladin for wrist. :p

FWIW the BG crate gear is exactly the same as the old ilvl 30 (now ilvl 27) gear thanks to stat squish. So if you missed out on invasion gear, it's becoming less and less of a gap
 
I've played a couple of games with my F2P MM spec hunter without invasion gear and enchants and i can say hunter is OK as F2P. F2P Prot. warrior was garbage in full invasion gear. I'll try other warrior specs. with invasion gear but i don't have much hope.

It's certainly a lot larger of a gap between F2P and Pay To Play now that enchants work again.

Having played around on both my regular account and F2P account the biggest difference is on rogues. The damage added with Ele Force is insane.

Yea, ele force is a bit ridiculous. and dual crusader fury. Spent the better part of an AB getting wrecked by a tauren warrior with dual 'sader and thats just no fun.

But 90% of my pvp post 8.0 has been enjoyable.
 
To be honest, I enjoyed not having the enchants in PVP.

However, I did not really care for the concept of simply stacking iLevel by getting white gear and anything you can find with the highest possible iLevel, and having stats not matter at all. That felt....lazy and too easy, and just..dumb.

Enchants I don't mind, it's just when you have huge sources of your damage being procs from enchants, that seems like an issue. It's not this bad at later brackets, and enchants more so compliment your damage and add / or add some burst.

But at this level, getting hit with enchant procs is basically like a huge crit from an OP spell in and of itself.
 
Resto Sham is pretty OP right now. Not sure if strictly with enchants / 29, or if F2P resto sham is also a bit OP.

My ideal PvP experience is what we have without enchants. I really enjoyed how last expansions pvp was really not bursty at all (outside of lolOverpower) and you spent more time in that "wounded" state Blizz likes to talk about. Enchants just make things really bursty at this level and that can be fun but I also really enjoy being able to get through a couple rotations before either I or the other guy die. Makes things seem more fun.

And from what I've been reading, ilvl still kinda matters and will matter a bit in world pvp. Something about scaling damage done and taken to account for the ilvl difference between you and the other guy.
 
Worth noting that the mobs you need to kill you are leashed right about the point you need to die, so just a heads up that might take a try or two if you're stupid like me

i am stupid i cant figure this out, i have died from the ghoul in so many different places and none seem to work. It seems it is too low under ground. Any more tips?
 
What's the deal with Cobalt Frags? I get hit by them every now and then but I'm bad so I can't deal.

You gotta die in the right place. If youre facing the front of Lights Hope Chapel, theres a fence that runs along the left. Towards the end of that fence, near the wall of the city, theres a gate and a smell hill behind the gate. You gotta die next to that hill.

Lol I didnt know those were a thing again. I'm guessing the few people who were able to get glitched Northrend Engi made some frag bombs. They're just a higher level engineering grenade.

"The deal" is pretty much someone being super try hard in casual BGs.

2 things to try:

Q for a bg > die anywhere > go to the portal in ghost > face north before accepting bg pop (i think it points u north after bg ends?) > when bg ends spam click where you think the portal is

Put hearthstone in bank or delete it > go to the entrance of the chapel > use "character stuck" function in Help in main menu > continue as normal

srry if some of that's bs, I only tried the bg approach but it didn't work, I think cause of my horrible ms

edit-the problem with the bg method could be that the game puts u back in the environment before the loading screen finishes. The 2nd way is better imo

Somebody said that new blue bg crate gear is as good as X.
I just want to add that I got a ilvl 26 bracer from a crate and it has exactly the same amount of stats, just different type. :D

And yeah elemental force is... big.
Otherwise at this time playing a rogue is far more enjoyable, I even see too many rogues. Kinda like sv hunters were.
New arcane mage gameplay seems amazing as well hehe.
