Re: World of Warcraft

Pandaria still feels really weird to me. Buffed tanks now have a million hp. It is just ridiculous how much stats they throw on things now.

Apparently in the next expansion they are rescaling everything down to where 50k would be how much a geared tank would have again and 30k would be typical. Although that could be a lie.

Re: World of Warcraft

next xpac will have an item squish (supposedly)

also trial of the gladiator is a pvp mode that will eliminate gear from the equation and make it solely based on skill (also supposedly)

This is true. I went to Blizzcon, played the alpha. The character in the alpha were 528 ilvl, and my warlock had ~30k hp.

Current armory - fully raid buffed i have ~970k hp.

Re: World of Warcraft

It is interesting how pve gear has nearly double the amount of stamina as pvp gear. They don't do any damage in pvp since they wont have pvp power, but they are moderately annoying to kill.

Re: World of Warcraft

They wanted you to be able to pvp successfully in battlegrounds with pve gear.

You mean not successfully? Because pve gear is pretty useless in pvp. You want as much pvp power as possible and every piece of pve takes away from that.

Re: World of Warcraft

No I mean successfully. You'd be surprised for Battlegrounds how well people in PvE gear can do. They don't want them doing -arenas- well or anything.

Looks interesting. I might try it out. Right now I'm using dominos which is just really basic squares for every button.

why does gear even matter in pvp

Re: World of Warcraft

Is it fair to have someone who's naked with a stick fight someone with a full metal suit and a longsword?

huh

im saying pvp should be balanced around skill not equips

[choof]

Re: World of Warcraft

you're totally right, it should be

but it's not because baddies complain about gear, so they get gear

that's (most likely) why blizz is trying out this trial of the gladiator

Re: World of Warcraft

altho i am in favor of PvP sets that cater towards certain builds

(ex. 3-4 piece set gives X skill Y benefit whereas another 7 piece set gives skill Z a benefit but not X/Y etc)
