Not sure on the math for pvp power, but I know even if I gem full pvp power in all sockets I still don't hit THAT much harder then regular.

I'm not sure I like this change ... I guess we'll have to see how it plays. I guess keeping everyone on an even keel with resil might be nice but I'm not sure that epic raid geared people won't be crushing people who aren't.

**Clemz** · 2013-03-25 06:08

PvE gear will have no advantage. PvP and PvE gear of the same item level have the same amount of stats, except for the PvP Power on the PvP gear.

Battlegrounds, Rated Battlegrounds, and Arenas now have an ilevel cap. All gear will be scaled down to ilevel 496.

**Aksannyi** · 2013-03-25 06:14

Hm. So there's still some advantage to having PvP gear for PvP, but you don't have to gimp yourself in PvP gear while doing PvE? I can live with this.

**Plow** · 2013-03-25 06:17

Yeah, sucks for people with pvp gear in world pvp, completely eliminates pve gear from arena/bg.

I do believe that's worth it.

Well then.

**Aksannyi** · 2013-03-25 15:50

Wat.

This would have been great before they bare-boned the talent tree. I would have loved to have had a PvP Shadow spec and a PvE Shadow spec but kept the availability of a Holy spec (even though I rarely touch Holy), but with the talents the way they are now, would this even matter? I already have a spec I don't ever use, I don't need two lol.

**Ezek** · 2013-03-25 16:05

Fuck me, now I have no reason to not have a Holy spec.

**Abandon** · 2013-03-25 16:53

welp, this just made warlocks entirely too fun. With haste seemingly being so powerful for destro/affli at ilvl 530~ and up, i can hit a point in mastery, splooge on haste, and if i wanna go demo because fuck it, i sure can. i love it.

**Ksandra** · 2013-03-25 18:51

Fucking finally.

I love holy for raids, disc for bg pvp, and shadow for arena pvp. /kiss you blizz!

Great for hybrids, druid/pally etc., great for stuff like wars being tank main, fury dps, and pvp/dailies as arms.

All kinds of uses, really.

I'm guessing it'll be 10k gold or so, though.

**Correction** · 2013-03-25 19:17

10k gold is nuffin' but I can't exactly go about swapping out my specialization on the fly considering how different the stat weights are between combat, assassination and subtlety rogues

**Correction** · 2013-03-25 22:08

deal with it

Because we all wanna carry around even more sets of gear amirite?! It is kind of cool though, I can spec pvp UH, pvp frost and pve blood if I want. Can we swap spec trees in arena or just talents?

**Correction** · 2013-03-26 20:19

Heh

**Abandon** · 2013-03-26 20:37

wtf

**Guitarman** · 2013-04-02 03:39

Nah, there's a red one and blue one, so faction specific, and there arent enough details. usually the store mounts are super detailed. If i were to guess, I'm almost certain the faerie dragon mount is the new cash cow. Changes color, wings spread dust when its in flight. Too many extra details for them not to hock it on the shop.
