US General Questions (back from a year and a half break)

Hey everyone,

I just had a few quick questions about the bracket in terms of activity, balance, and gear/ILvL.

1.) What is the activity and quality of battlegrounds, is it limited to late night pops or has activity picked up since legions release?

2.) In terms of balance, obviously some classes are better than other but in terms of viability are warlocks still a viable class? and if so what spec is generally played the most, destro/affliction?

3.) for gear, I know I missed the legion release gear (auxiliary's gear), but I was wondering if there are equivalents for these items or If I am possibly mistaken and this gear is still avlaible?

4.) ILvL; so I understand the basic concept of the ILvL pvp scaling interaction, but I was just curious if stats outweigh 1 or 2 ILVL points or should gearsets be fully geared towards the highest ILvL possibly obtainable.

Also any armory's of toons without legion release gear would be very much appreciated (WOTLK and other Gfed items are fine), thanks!

1. Not really sure, think 24/7 as youre with levelers too

2. They are viable - I dont know specs

3. Its bis by far and its noy availible, however in BGs the difference is minimal.

4. Stats are all taken from the stat template, which is from ilvl, in pvp stats wont be taken from the gear. However 5% bonus if all your armour is of your actual armour type (like full leather on rogue)
 
1) I believe US activity is actually pretty good now with the frequent wargaming going on. US pugs seem to have twinks q'ing as well throughout the day from what I've seen when others play.

2) Balance is decent, it will never be perfect. Warlock is a highly viable class. Destruction is the go-to spec atm. They are very sought out for premade environments atm.

3) The Legion invasion event gear is by far BiS for any class, but is currently unobtainable. The best substitution would be to farm the gear you get from the boxes from winning a random BG.

4) What you should go for is primarily making sure that you have every slot filled out, armor, neck, rings and trinkets. And for armor, you need to make sure that you are wearing your class-appropriate armor pieces. Leather for classes that are meant to wear leather, mail for classes that are meant to wear mail, cloth for cloth wearers and plate for plate wearers. Doing this will trigger the 5% stat increase from the template, which you possibly can't substitute from just maxing iLvL, breaking the effect.
After you equip your class appropriate armor, you can start maxing out your ilvl. For weapon, you want to go with a wand, if you can equip one, since it's bugged and count as a 2-hander in the stat template, so it will give you more stats.
Stats on gear doesn't matter in BG's, only ilvl of the gear (and the armor type).
