Question:

I am trying to maximize my Effective Health(EH) by stacking resilience. I am Human. However I just realized that I can maximize my EH by using double PvP BoA Trinkets.

Should I still use Inherited Insignia of the Alliance as a Human since it technically will max-out my EH, or should I play as a different race? Or should I just stick with AGM regardless if Inherited Insignia of the Alliance gives more survival?

PS: I'm a FC.

In my opinion, use the BOA trinks, and I'd get a different race. Otherwise you're wasting a racial. If you're a Warrior I'd recommend Worgen and if you're a Paladin I'd recommend Dwarf>Drenai(sp?).

As for AGM; Stam<Res and the On-Demand can be purged

My bad, I used > instead of <, Why would I say use resilience instead of stam and then say "Stam>Res" clearly a clerical error.

So, sorry for having to interpret but I didn't follow all of that. Gemming basically requires 225 in blacksmithing, which what, gives you the ability to add a gem slot to hands and wrist? And then people are putting gems in that slot? I'm unclear about what the glitch part is. I don't want to be indignant myself, without fully understanding what we're talking about. If it's legitimately a glitch or a person must in some way cheat the game to make it happen, then yes I would be upset as well. If it's something that they legitimately have access to due to their P2P status, well, that's a different matter. Since I haven't heard a whole lot of people bring it up, I just want to be clear what it is and what it isn't before I make my mind up about it.

It's an exploitation, it's been fixed before but a work around surfaced (Confirmed by IAT in another topic) meaning that it's very much not working as intended. Blacksmiths are only supposed to be able to put gem slots in their own gear.

The old method involved dungeon looted items that could be traded to other players who participated in the dungeon that rolled on the gear. A blacksmith would socket the item and trade it back to the twink.

Report it as you see it, these players are being logged and action will be taken. Talked to a GM about it earlier this morning.

^-^ ya i reread it and didn't really understand either lol.. to many ()[]{}


To gem a hands or wrist you need to keep 1 bs. (THIS ISN'T TO CALL ANYONE OUT.. EVERYONE KNOWS OF THESE GEMMERS SO MODS DELETE IF YOU FEEL IT ISN'T NEEDED TO CLARIFY) Some people have changed or dropped a prof to make it look like they don't have gems like badger however some people hide it horribly with all bis gear the horrible hands and wrists like duo however you can clearly see in the activity feed where grubbis paws looted on 3/18 has been sockted with pvp power.


The people who gem normally are tough to spot in bgs unless they have ALOT higher then normal dmg or ALOT higher then normal dmg reduce since almost everyone gems 20 resil or pvp power. However if you spot that in a bg a quick armory check will prove if they are a gemmer or not. Anyone with 225 in one prof then no prof or 1 in bs gems (99.999% accurate to what I've seen) and you should take a screenshot and make a ticket to get them banned. It is illegal and blizz doesn't like it but they haven't caught everyone yet.. Feel free to hate it like every other non gemmer in the bracket :p

OK yeah that sounds like a definite exploit, thanks for the information.

I don't have second professions on any of my twinks (F2P or otherwise) :cool: Don't report me Lil!



On that note, a couple points in contention. Armory updates after you log off. Going by professions strictly is.. well there are lazy people who *twink*

The idiot proof method is catching the idiot with gems equipped or in the activity feed.



But how can you really tell if you got hit harder than usual?

I mean I've been hit by both Abusivepope and Baxter. I can't tell the difference. Can you?

Well everyone knows honey and duo gems so I just used them as an example. I'd say 75% of the time people with 1 max prof and 1 no prof has gems ready to switch out for bs in-game. I'd say 99.9999% when someone has a max prof and 1 bs that they gem.

Normally when I go wtf just hit me or why am I hitting so weakly on someone I start checking the combat log and seeing the dmg being done. If I'm still suspicious I just write it down on on a paper rq and armory later to normally find gems involved

Yes they always gem with the max skill of bs, I saw that Honeybadger's Prot Tauren got like 3k+ without buff and become 4k with buff and the battle standard.
 
Do people just afk when they see me? You know who you are!

Maybe its just first cap afkers, idk.

Haven't tested whether it scales, but since cat form has 1.00 attack speed no matter what weapon you wear, if it doesn't scale, the staff is better, if it does, both are equally good and it should be just a factor whether you want to transmog this or that.

Depends on what your doing, Burnished Warden Staff is going to be better dps most likely, and you dont run into many destro locks or fire mages... so the resistance on Repurposed Lava Dredger is kinda useless. It all comes down to stronger hits or more hits, which depends on your preference.

Cat form attack speed and weapon damage is normalized. Weapon speed and top end are irrelevant in cat form. DPS, agility, haste and crit will all affect DPS, but they are they same between to two BoAs. The only difference is the fire resist. There is no reason to get the staff, you're just losing free resist, which is very hard to come by anyways. Dear god, people, please don't answer questions that you don't know the answers to.

IMHO it's better if 4 people answer not being 100% sure, because if you discourage people like this, soon this thread will die, because no one will respond.

But giving false information isn't smart either, is it? If you aren't sure about something, but still want to contribute, just mention you aren't 100% sure.
