PTR - 50 ilvl legion gear & wod gear changed.

Well I had my fun and it lasted a few weeks so that was short and sweet.

I unsubbed to the game. Honestly this shit is getting old and not very fun.
Every year I got better and faster at both theorycrafting and building my desired toons up.
Finding a record number of exploits this ptr and prepatch cycle has really burned me out.
I feel like i've mastered this game and my playstyle is no longer welcome by the public community.

Since nerfs are inc ima just dip out now and play some other shit AAA title until something better comes along.
Here's hoping Haven games isnt activ/blizz 2.0

I might stop by every now and then to laugh at you fools :)
Much love

That’s how I got into twinking: bump into some ally in funny goggles who oneshot me, then meet a similarly looking guy in crossroads, inspect him and ask how tf is he so op. A couple years later I had a guild full of people who were curious enough to make a character on my server, ask how tf did I oneshot them in bg and come join to find out.
Times just change, I guess, and so does mass mentality. Most players nowadays doesn’t want to work and become as strong as a guy that killed them. They want that guy to be just as weak as them.

I think people have a *somewhat* legit critique of ilvl 49 relics and azerite gear. Its GF'd and if you didnt immediately farm it up, there's no way for them to "become as strong as the guy that killed them". That gear just isnt accessible anymore.

Ignoring, of course, that I told anyone who would listen that they needed to rush relics in the first 24 hours because the intended nerf on the ptr wasnt working and it would likely get fixed almost immediately but no one listened to me. And that they had a whole week to get HOA and azerite.

I'm just salty about not getting relics and GF'd gear. If I can't have it, none of you can.

I agree on this, may also add Arak rare drops to gfed list.
Azerite helms and shoulders not getting nerfed is strange though, hope it will be soon.
As for relics, ilvl45 weapons are obtainable right now, not that big of a difference to cry.
 
The white elephant in the room here is that even in Looms/iLvL 14 Blues, 10's are stupidly OP now. After the nerfs all set in we just won't be literal God-Tier. People will continue complaining about 10's even in shit iLvL 12 Greens because we utterly destroy, at least in PvE.

The Azerite cloth known as the Battred Vrykul Helmet has been indeed nerfed because while i was on it, its ilvl was 24. And it's stats was a regular gear with 1st and secondary stats.

That’s what “gf’d” means. Unobtainable on new characters, usable and not nerfed if you got it before.

I agree with you for the most part! The major thing i had a problem with was if I had the same gear as a bis twink except for the ilvl 49 artifact weapon, no matter how good I am at the class I am playing, the dude that managed to get the ilvl 49 artifact weapon in its 24-48 hour window it was available is always going to do a significant gamebreaking amount of damage more than me. I'm sitting on the sidelines atm waiting for everything to settle, but that's my 2 cents.

I've been there grinding shadowfangs, stv quests, petrolspills for 29's i know the grind, but when gearing is too unstable id rather just wait!

Im genuinelly impressed on how many rats are on these forums, people that cherish the nerfs that will fuck up a lot of ppl that have farmed shit for ages

Im gonna say it again, if they wanted a balanced bracket the first thing to remove should be azerite (and yeah im aware blizz doesnt care about that seemingly)

4 items that are end-of-questline rewards, and not short ones, dont give that much difference, keep in mind that a hunter leveler full of heirlooms does more damage than most twinked classes without azerite.

If i were a dev of blizzard i would have never nerfed anything, and if someone cries about something, idk dude i tought mmorpgamers tried to improve and imitate the guy that kills you on pvp, not cry about him on forums, cause its "unfair" that a dude that has geared for literal months kills your character that has been made 2h ago?

They sure as hell should stop catering the game to casuals.

What exactly did you "farm for ages"? You did some standard legion quests. You killed a few WoD rares...The only thing people are farming "for ages" is the socket gear that will replace this.
 
This is always why I recommend getting gear as soon as possible, you never know what could be grandfathered or not. It took quite a bit of farming within a relatively short period to get all legion gear including the relics, so its not like you instantly got the relics if you were early enough, you had to spend quite a bit of effort to get them especially since they were time sensitive unless you had good drop chances. Indeed, it was expected that this was going to happen based on the testing from the ptr and just from the fact that it was the first level squish ever, along with a ilvl squish at the same time, and why everyone was preparing way ahead of time. If there is one last grandfathered thing that will survive it will probably be the relics, but you never know. It is interesting that players really dislike this, but I guess its understandable, I wonder if there will still be threads on this in a few months if its not changed.
 
Dot class with speed will still be able to out dps all other non twinks 10-50. Due to health pools and self healing amounts.

If my moonfire goes from a 2 shot to a 5 shot that only means the mob dies that many yards away from where it used to.
If you have more than 1 dot elemental force is still going to make extremely fast work of any mob.

the nerf is overall better for balance but won't change much. I do expect a rescaling sometime during SL.
