How to climb rating when you vs teams in full Mythic?

PVP Arenas
41

Maybe an extra 10-15% at most?

42

How did you come up with that number?

43

It’s a guess, but considering naked minus the neck was 223% I’d say it is prolly pretty close.

44

Well, if you ever duel someone who’s geared, but not stacked with 70% versa (or some other source of significant damage reduction), please ask them what number they see.

45

If you want to do the math feel free. Assuming the the bomb video was truthful that he said scaling capped at 223% that probably means they have a set ilvl that scaling caps at.

Of course it isn’t possible to know if the system is linear or not. However, there are 16 pieces that make up your ilvl. Let’s assume it is 475 for the cap, because we can’t know. That means each piece of gear accounts for 29.69 (giggity) ilvl.

So we’ll just round up to 30 ilvl. That means for a 445 ilvl difference this guy received 223% damage bonus. That means each ilvl gives you a .5% damage increase between you and your target. So figure I’m 445 and if I fight a 475 I’m doing 15% more damage. If I’m fighting a 465 I’m doing 10% more damage.

Defensively I’m not sure how much damage I am negating, but I know it works both ways, as I’ve dropped chaos bolts on 40k hp 120s that would kill them, but they don’t die.

However, there is a much higher boost to damage than 15% usually in a 30 ilvl gain, hence why gear still matters. If you want to plot the data and figure out the exact numbers go for it, but I ain’t taking that time.

Edit: I am surprised though with how much people griped about this at the start I could find nobody willing to take the time to help me gather the data needed to get a firm number on how much the actual scaling was doing.

The next time you’re on your lower ilevel warlock, can’t you just duel your arena partner or something?

That seems easier.

47

You can do it.

48

I don’t have a warlock at max level.

You have the warlock throwing out 120k chaos bolts. But, you don’t want to know what number the other person sees?

49

I see this is now a flexing thread so I got 2.1 on a 457 hpal!

You can use any 120…

51

Nice! :muscle:

52

You’re welcome for the mmr boost :rage: :triumph:

53

?
i zzzd u cuz what u said was asz backwards, i don’t disagree that that gear holds you back from getting 1400.

I got to 1500 on an hpal that had 420ilvl in 1 q session w a friend

i think something like 2k tho you would have to be a good player and have decent gear.

Also i qued sin / blood dk with a friend who is brand new to pvp for fun. i don’t really care about trying to push higher rating cuz there is literally 0 point. mythics are boring af, and if i cared about rating id just que rogue mage
