As 4.3 get's closer more people talk about the very mysterious boa leggings. do you think boa leggings will change the whole 15-19 bracket at all? to be honest yes. i want to hear about you guys think about this? will it destroy this bracket or will it bring more.





Lokah out!



For some classes it'll be a big improvement probably, Hpallys for instance. And as every other BoA-item, yes it'll destroy the bracket and make it less fun.
 
no it will not destroy the bracket in any ways since everyone can obtain them



it will destroy leveling bgs tho due to the major imbalance between 200 hp palas and 1k hp palas
 
BoAs in general destroyed the game.

But I am pretty sure the hit rating on some of the leggings will enable players to switch around gear sets to maximize dmg output and minimize the amount of stats they must sacrifice to be hit capped. Caster's probably won't be affected though, as the soft cap is 7 and you can get 7 hit from the spidersilk cape and the DM ring... but hunters / rogues will definitely be feeling it.
 
armor for BOA mail and plate wearers will cause even more damage reduction. BOA mail/plate were supposed to scale to leather/mail at levels below 40, they do not.



like on a hunter, the BOA mail chest says leather when a hunter inspects himself, when another class inspects you the same chest piece says mail. the armor on the chest piece at 19 is 183...which is not leather for the bracket. ingame non-boa lether chests do not hit 180+ armor till level-39



the situation is even worse for warrior/paladin BOAs that are supposed to be mail and are actually plate in armor stats



this IMO, is a error, i do not recollect the armor stats being scaled so high prior to cata.



since a leather chest in 19 brackets have like 100 armor, i could understand if the mail BOA chest that are supposed to be leather on hunters were like 110..........but 183. then when you add the helm, shoulders, and soon leggings. a hunter will have like 400-500 more armor than any non-BOA player
