Salute, Nat Pagle's.

Level 35 says 'Hi'.

Another nerf for the 19-scene, as these boots are now unavailable on PTR ('Item requires level 35').



So, after Leg-armors, Librams, enchants and professions, Blizzard is now touching the Fishing-gear as well. 19's will be.... just 19's.



If these changes are coming through on the live-servers, there will be more to come I suppose. Mostly because it doesn't make sense to f.e. touch enchants like 100hp, Librams and Nat Pagle's, but leave AGM, Inferno Robe, Fishing Hat and such available.
 
imo it is a nerf to fishing gear, but a buff to the bracket.



now lets get the bc enchants out of the 39/49 and maybe 59 bracket...
 
Damn now the fishing gear :(... Granted i always had bad luck and never picked it up when i was twinking but.. fishing gear QQ
 
FFS! They shouldn't touch the boots...Everyone has to make thesame effort to get them. I fished my ass off to finally catch Brownell's Blue Striped Racer. I can see why they nerf insane enchants maybe even nerf the boot's enchanting lvl, but why shouldn't a lvl 19 be able to wear those items???Instead of nerfing the lvl, they should slightly nerf the stats. Fishing gear was the one way to tell a difference between a dedicatwink and a normal rich player. Nerfing this takes my only chance against non-geared hunters away....



And btw, if the boots get a nerf, ofcourse the hat will get one too.

If these changes really go live, I'm gonna cancel my subscription for sure.



The fun of gearing a char has been taken away, all the gear is easy obtainable and buyable now.



Sad day for me...(and some of you)



EDIT* (well, one new hat will become available, only its grey)
 
you're going to quit because they might take away fishing gear?



lol



some people just don't like gear balance apparently
 
Yeah right, gear balance is the reason you started twinking :S.

Isn't twinking trying to max out all your items, spells and gear?



I'm just saying: A normal non-twink hunter is now hard enough to take down.. When i'm downscaled (equal to the hunter in gear) there is no possible way to kill him, can't even annoy him with my lousy dmging spells.



GRMPF!
 
I knew this day would come. I feel sorry for anyone who grabbed these, but if this change does go live it just means that new boots will be up for grabs.



With the recent changes to Spidersilk Boots, they are now the best cloth caster boots to grab. And I am sure people will find new boots to wear for their own class, maybe even two different pairs.



Examples:

Trailblazer Boots and Feet of the Lynx

Savage Trodders and Silver-linked Footguards

Sanguine Sandals and Spidersilk Boots



So there are options out there and, quiet frankly, they are easier to obtain. Since everyone will lose their fishing boots, its equals out everyone because they will have the appropriate level gear.



This wouldn't stop be from fishing, I would still do the weekend tournaments and fish for leisure while waiting for a BG to que. Plus, now that you can get 450 fishing as low as level 10 ... I may as well have fun ...

Nah, i'm gonna sit this one out, wait what will actually change. If i don't like it, i'm gonna reroll for raiding.

yeah, just like other twinks. unlike 80, twink vs twink battles are typically fair and skill based.



the reason i twink is because there aren't that many IWIN buttons there and there is no gear grind. it's just PVP with other twinks.



honestly, usually the only people that twink to have better gear than others are either new to twinking or aren't great players.

perhaps you should stick to your class's role then? either that, or use LoS.





skill > gear



this is a good change. no more grind for fishing gear and it will be fairer to puggers. win/win IMO.
 
This is the ultimate blow to 10's and 14's.

11 Crit Rating won't make up for the loss without Surefooted.

Okay- this is plain lame. I can understand the balance issue with Surefooted (aren't they putting level requirements on enchants anyway?!?) but for them to remove the fishing gear that I WORKED for is just a slap in the face. They may as well remove the AGM too- after all, you can't use the quest item version until 35- yet you can use the actual AGM at 19?



This is going too far.... it's one thing to nerf leg patches, enchants and librams, all things that you can get via buying, but fishing gear? Uber lame. And think about what this’ll do to the already extremely-inflated price of Feet of the Lynx. I mean, I paid 85 gold for mine a year ago- I shudder to think what they’ll go for now. FYI- is there a screenshot of this nerf?

everyone's work is going away, not just yours.



i don't see anything this change will do other than make the game fairer for puggers and make the gear grind easier.



oh and removal of AGM will make things fairer too. especially for 2v2 when you don't have a priest or shaman :p
 
Skill > Gear.

Skill > Gear.

Skill > Gear.



I cannot wait to start playing in 3.1. It's going to be as hectic for the low level brackets as 2.9 was for everybody else. I look forward to it.
 
Ouch, I've only been twinking for a couple of months now and since the dawn of WoW I have never attended a single fishing tournament due to my real life schedule. It really sucks to hear that they are taking these away.



I respect and look up to the hardcore that work hard for their gear/enchants and spend insane amounts of time leveling up their professions.

just taken off the ptr about 5 mins ago
 
Ouch on the hat.



I would expect them to change that as well....but then again...who really knows?
 
Imbad i hear what your saying that it makes it more fair for everyone, and i completely agree with that. I like fairness in PVP. Regarding this matter though, one thing that keeps me playing wow is the satisfaction and hard work it took to get certain items/gear etc. For instance, when i got 12 Arena Masters and made my AGM, it made me very happy to know my hard work and month of trying to solo gurabashi for the chest paid off. Is AGM extremelely overpowered? Everyone knows the answer to that. Can anyone, even the level 1 toon get it? Yes, with some long work. Are you seeing my point? AGM, Fishing gear and the like seperate the hardcore twinkers from the casual twinkers, and theres nothing wrong with casual twinkers might i add.
