OP:
Also OP:
Blizzard, please bring back the dislike button. There is literally no way of oblivioning alternatively gifted individuals who have the nerve to blatantly contradict themselves in a same post.
The tiny grain of truth OP had about gems being quite strong en masse and possibly requiring a slight nerf has been singlehandedly completely negated by this most ignorant statement I’ve read on PvP forums in a while.
Gear item level accounts for 70% of twink problem. Gems for 25%. Enchants for 5%. Enchants are not even gear specific for goodness sake!
So just to give ya’ll an idea (since OP obviously hasn’t play the game past level 70):
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/sargeras/drizzio
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/uther/Silicá
All items above iL158 heirloom/timewarped baseline these characters are wearing cost 30k-100k on AH each. See for yourself how pitfully negligible the gains from gems and enchants on those items are compared with the Item Level gains those items have over a baseline iL158 item.
For a comparison, you can stock up on 20 gems for under 20k even on high pop realm, or make those gems yourself, as gems are not RNG dependent unlike the world drops death dealers above are wearing.
So unless you’re https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmrd1MbNkFs&t=0m25s go away OP, because you’re making the problem worse by diverting everyone’s attention away from the item level elephant in the room. Thank you for your full understanding and co-operation.
