What does WoD mean for PVP BOAs?

    • With the change of Resilience to Versatility will they still be trash? Will they be viable? Will they be required?
     
    Very valid questions. Currently on the PTR they indicate resilience. However, our stats do not reflect resilience. It is difficult to tell if resilience/PvP power still work without testing.

    Resilience wasn't changed to versatility. Resilience was removed, and versatility was added as a tertiary stat.

    I wouldn't expect any of the PVP boas to change since Blizzard seems to give zero fucks about fixing low level gear.

    Even if they did, they are still worse than JP ones.

    I'm hoping all BoAs, especially the PvE ones are made eventually made irrelevant by gear from the PvP bags, or I'm hoping that's the reason for not doing anything about the PvP looms.
     
    AFAIK they aren't giving bags out at lower levels. Skirms definitely weren't on the PTR. Didn't get a chance to see about BGs though.

    Was resilience actually removed? Or is it like resistance?

    I'm expecting scaling/gear to be incorporated into skirmishes for low levels in the future.

    Base resilience was reduced to 0% (as per the patch notes) and resilience is no longer being used as a stat on new pvp gear in WoD. It was also removed from the character sheet as a tooltip as well as level 90 pvp gear. Level 85, 80, 70, and lower pvp gear still has resilience listed as a stat, and resilience still gives some damage reduction, though it's been scaled down so low that it's not worth stacking as a defensive stat.

    It quite possibly might be. It just depends on how popular the feature turns out to be and how much time Blizzard dedicates to scaling for low level players (max level players aren't going to give two shits about scaling in skirms, which is probably why Blizzard didn't add scaling to begin with). It's just more of their signature short-sightedness.
     
    I can't speak to the efficacy of resilience as a stat (I honestly give minus fucks about it), but I can attest to the fact that it's still very present on a lot of gear. There's even enchants and gems with it.
     
    Don't remember the source but I am certain Holinka tweeted it's still there and functioning, just does not appear on the character pane.
