EU+US Just made an Arena on PTR

[Nìck]

So, I queued with my 2 rogues (outlaw/sub) and was aginst 2 war and as a Outlaw rogue I could just 2v1 them easily but didn't want the arena to end so quick, Gear seems to add more that 0.1% per Ilvl, just look at those screenshots I took :

When you enter the arena you learn the honor trinket (no big news), as a rogue I had around 3k HP

Gear seems to be relevant atm looks like they didn't implement the new baseline system yet (Gloves of the fang were increasing my haste and critical strike tho, so I really don't know how things will be later but if it remains like this twinks (gear wise) will still exist)

Or there are some mechanic where you have to be fully equipped in all slots for you to gain 100% of the predetermined stats, to avoid people just waddling around naked

Yeah I just thought of that, I wasn't able to equip / unequip anything when the arena started unfortunately so cant tell how much of a difference 2 pieces of gear would make

 

[Snack]

Try and equip two different pair of gloves, and see if the stat difference matters

 

[SikTh]

yea its pretty much it, the less pieces you have, the lower will be your stats
i was one of the warriors, we had exactly the same gear but different gloves, but we had exactly the same stats anyway

i also tested AGM overdefending champion and it didnt increased any stats

so its basically it, regardless the item quality/ilevel, all you have to do to reach max stats is filling all slots

 

[SPQR]

everyone seems to 2 shot each other. still better than it is now.

 

[marblea]

ilvl does not matter at 19, but having an item in a slot does. Having a head will give more stats than not having a head but a ilvl 20 head piece wont be better than an ilvl 10 head piece.

So we can still run around in Greys and whites and still fuk binches fuck yeee!

I was hoping I could run around naked

Naw just run around in a rp set your able to hide head cape and shoulders now so you can look dope af

Wait, so gear/enchants will still work in instanced pvp?

Gear only matters that you have a piece of gear there for example a glove in the glove slot rather than nothing. And no enchants are disabled in instance PvP

Do you have a screenshot of your stats in that gear while not in arena? Just for reference...

I wanted but got dc after the arena, couldn't log in and had to go :/
Will do it next time I'm home maybe tomorrow

 

[willix]

I'm just curious is all. It could be the case that the stats the character sheet is displaying are not the ones for the template, that could be intentionally hidden to avoid players crying about how a certain template is tuned.

Hmmm.... they're doing everything they can, aren't they?

 

[SPQR]

done some arenas. not much to choose from but overall im pleased so far.

 

[Gokku]

Only bad thing I am seeing is that 29vs20 is not fair at all since no scaling 29s way better than 20s this might become another downfall for the 20s

 

[Achmed]

Same shit as endgame 100 atm. If you don't have trinket, you die, burst is insane but i suppose they will tune it down a bit. With my lvl100 sub rogue i can kill things in a CS now. With my lvl20 outlaw i can kill almost anything except survival hunters due to lack of mobility. Pistol Shot is wicked but not enough.
