Was bound to happen, still sucks.

No, this is excellent news. You didnt need hunters and boomkin running around with an extra 90 int on people with 1300 health pools. This is a fantastic change for the health of the bracket.

I knew they browsed xpoff lol

 

[Holythane]

Are they still decent or is there better gems

Best I saw on Beta is 2/2 or 3 Main Stat for lower level Twinks. I tried a shit load of different Gem types, from various XPacs.

I recall people talking about unique equipped +7 gem from hellfire penn, maybe some others like that?

It scales down the moment it's in your bags, tested it on Beta on my 10.

inc nerf

Heroic TBC gems still not nerfed. But hopefully those get fixed soon.

 

[FrozenWill]

the 5 armor 6 stamina gems from hellfire aren't nerfed yet on ptr, but the 5 crit 5 int ones that are on my heirloom staff got nerfed to 2/2

Why would they, they will be ONLY for Level 27+ (old 70's) who got them legit. Anyone wishing to get them in SL will need to be Level 30+

What does getting them "legit" have anything to do with it? I got them legit, and they're legit 2.5x better than anything else available. That's a problem.

I forgot this was a 20s thread, my bad.

Edit: as in, just level 20. Not the upper end of the bracket.
