Was workin last night for me

Last night I was playing on my 99 and PvP Power was still working was that just changed? Need some confirmation on this.

That's why i asked the source because on the patch note it was only mentionned a nerf for resilience on low level, nothing about pvp power

Pvp powet still seems to be working?

I tested on my 85 mage, full BiS PvP power setup was notably inferior to regular PvE gear from DS and FL. The tests were discouraging so I didn't bother going through a more nuanced test. It would seem Versatility offers more damage than PvP power and I would assume main stat would be even better.

Just tested on my 59 DK. It has been nuked. 6 STR now best gem again for blood DK from a little bit of testing

Maybe this is over simplified - Swapped out Rings only difference one had +8 Haste other was the +12PvP Power ring, absolutely no increase in healing at all on a 60 Disc casting Shadow Mend on myself.

Lost healing when swapping out legs with 3 x +6 Int gems for same legs with 3 x +6 PvP Power Gems ....

Can confirm nerf at 60

what does the script output now?

edit: still shows the same values so they disabled it somewhere else. that's annoying

Values still show, but the stat itself has been entirely disabled.

Can someone post a link to the patch notes listing this change?

[EDIT] Found it here: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/news/21973195#1

The effectiveness of Resilience on low-level PvP gear has been greatly reduced.

Unclear if this also applies to PvP power.

It was unclear from the patch notes but it has been tested and the results show it was nerfed

bro there are thousands of changes to this game that never make the patch notes.

I updated the title to avoid confusion.

Sure, but someone above me mentioned there were patch notes relating to PvP stats, so I was curious what they said specifically.

Very glad I caught sight of this thread before I swapped out all of my strength gems...
