Last time i tried it, every on equip effect is greyed out in pvp instances. so it should not work.
New question: Do heirlooms scales in bgs and this way its ilvls grow too in bgs?
Can F2P lock XP at 19 and play BGs?
Any change in the brackets? (i.e: Is there still a 10-19, 20-29, etc?) And is it true that we no longer get auto-leveled to the highest in bracket? How much does iLvL affect template stats in the 10-19 and 20-29 brackets, min to max difference/comparison?
There is no way of testing starter restrictions on ptr as it is not existing there.
Brackets are still 10-19, 20-29.
Item scaling is no longer in place.
probably because it gives 0 effect even if it was on due to the fact that they would scale to max cap (thus giving no +preset stats).
As for player scaling: last time i tried it, you are no longer scaled up to brackets max level.
Preset stats seems to be scaling down to your current level, so that is the reason level 20 and level 29 have different stats: strength, agility stamina. There are some screenshots of stats been posted on this forum if you wish to look them up.
Overall difference in stamina between level 20 and 29 around 2k hp (not as scary as it sounds, kill command does around 800 dmg).
is it intentional or is it not? i have no idea. as they seems to ignore twink related posts we just have to wait untill prepatch and people bitching in general forums about it.
If im to speculate: it can be intentional due to the fact how zone scaling/item scaling on creating works overall.
How much does iLvL affect template stats: i dont really see any efficient difference.
You could use the rock rings but other than that its just pointless to break your tmog for it.
as many spells already do significant amount of damage on their own, you will not feel any difference anyway due to the fact of you being dead in 3-4 shots.
Im all up to this bracket being this way. As a starter 20 i have never consider myself a "twink" because i didnt had any say in me being put agains 29s.
All i need from this bracket is classes being able to kill one another fast with alot random players and 5m bg q pops 24/7.
Hope they remove health difference between a level 20 and 29, but there probably still be a difference due to " player progression " shit talk.
