EU+US Lf people to test Legion lvl70 things on the PTR

Fx

Unnecessarily Rude
Update:

For instanced PvP:
-gems don't work
-enchants don't work
-set bonusses don't work
-trinkets don't work
-procs from items like hyjal ring don't work
-gear doesn't scale up
-equipping more items is better (so MH+OH > Staff)
-ilvl might matter if you go really high. Haven't been able to test this properly.

Add to the list of things to test:
- Armor types (ie can warriors wear cloth with no penalty)
- Proc effects on non-trinket pieces such as rings?
- Enchants
- Is the ilvl on gear still scaled up in pvp, and if so, does it use the original or the up-scaled ilvl to affect the stat templates?
 
which server are you guys on?

and are you talking about instanced pvp (bgs\arenas) or world stuff not working? (set bonuses etc)
 
ive seen that raid / epic set bonuses aren't active, but blue set bonuses are (valor set for example)

Arenas. In open world, quite a few setbonusses work. (mostly crafted stuff)

You should clarify in the OP that what you are talking about is Instanced PvP and not just open World or regular PvE things like Dungeons/Raids. If Blizzard is disabling Gems, Trinket/Ring/Weapon procs EVERYWHERE including PvE then they can get fucked, they're going to have a riot on their hands. It's bad enough they're permanently disabling (most) Set Bonuses because they're too fucking lazy to fix the broken ones and replace the no longer used ones.

What u guys think will be the best gear after some testing for pvp?
Looks like to just go full pve nonset pieces with ingi trinkets?

And what do you guys think about the classes so far?

Right now it looks like literally anything will do. We can't get high enough ilvl (assumption) to gain any stats at all, because we'd need to go over ilvl183 to get any kind of boost, while right now our highest possible ilvl is already ~179, depending on class, and that's with the ilvl400 trinket, which will be a toy in Legion, rather than an item. So just from that we lose ~15 ilvls, making ilvl183 seem like a far-fetched idea for a lvl70 character.

So you can just gear for duels, I guess. Duels and PvE. In PvP, nothing matters.

As for classes:

Melees are OP, casters are fine. The usual. Things will probably change a lot in terms of numbers though.

UA is ridiculous atm though, so maybe affli will be good.

Would you survive? The answer is no. 45k damage in 4 seconds or so (because of how much lag there is on PTR, would probably be 3 seconds on live).

Survival damage seems way better than any other class/spec I've seen on the ptr so far. I was able to reach 20k bites quite easily (not even optimizing my gear), but we have to take into consideration that gems/enchants/procs etc are all disabled in pvp. So it's unlikely that we'll have a new mop protpala/wod feral situation.
 
Truth, but in PvE the damage output of Survival is almost 1k higher than the next highest DPS (though I haven't tested everything). I would love to see warlock affliction as their DoTs seem to be insane.

The above is the highest I got, but I have trouble stacking Mongoose Bite more than 4 times on PTR due to the lag on abilities (this was only the second time I got that far).

It's not even just Mongoose Bite though, I've had Explosive Trap crit for 14k, Flanking Strikes averages around 8-9k. It's like total destruction.

Hmm I'm getting like 250 ms consistently but I find it feels a lot less laggy when I'm in silvermoon, maybe you should try going there.
You can pretty easily (even with the high ms) get to 6 stacks and cast a mongoose bite or two. Just make sure your pet is attacking and pop hawk right as you use the 1st mongoose bite, then keep biting until you run out of charges (usually happens on 5 or 6 stacks) and then snake hunter while on gcd.
 
Aha, I haven't used Snake Hunter, I went with the lacerate one :p

Will give it a try now.

Might be worth it now to use Desolation set? Set bonuses work and it's not that far off stats from SWP gear. Ofcourse you lose ilvl boost though, if that is still a thing.

Are you sure desolation works? my beast lord doesn't ):
I'm 99% sure ilvl bullshit is still a thing.
