More PVP Ranks After 14?

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

With Rank 14 very likely during Phase 6 of SoD, what are your thoughts on more ranks after 14? Hear me out:

  1. With only 1 rank left, AQ will have a short life in terms of PVP, they will drop off after they hit the rank, and less people will be PVPing.
  2. During Naxx (or phase 7) there will be no new PVP rank here, so no new breath of new players happens here either.
  3. More rewards would be cool from PVP, but not too significant.

What I propose:

  1. Rank 15 (Last Rank, Phase 6): A new golden version of your racial mount. A golden mechanostrider, golden horse (not literally golden in these cases), golden nightsaber, and golden ram.
  2. Rank 16 (Phase 7): A new version of PVP armor sets, but golden for every class. This can have better stats too. Since it is coming out with Naxx, it can be as powerful as AQ gear. No more stam though on this gear, R12 and R13 gear already has enough.
  3. Rank 17 (Last Rank, Phase 7): Golden weapons to go with your golden mount and armor. On-par with AQ weapons.

Then naturally SoD ends with Naxx, or something small after that.

RIP wars and pallies with golden sets already

Hey, at least the golden weapons will match the sets now though. And it’s less dev work too.

AQ gear is going to be better than R13 and I really don’t think they care at this point. PVP is a rip its trash in sod. The devs have NO idea whats going on and they keep listening to dog water pvp’rs cry about classes that don’t need nerfs.

Ret is out here literally killing everyone inside a hoj and they nerf ele healing lol

I’m just saying this to keep PVP alive. I had fun doing ABs the last few weeks, and the games felt fairly balanced.

Ele’s the only spec I haven’t played in SoD, so I’m not going to comment on that bit specifically; but:

I’m positive that the combination of Burn and overcharge bracer was OP as hell in PvE and was dealing far more damage than was respectful to pure dps specs when employed by tanks.

I didn’t like that it removed Lightning Shield from the rotation of abilities I needed to hit on a frequent basis, and also ensured that I couldn’t use Mental Quickness which I preferred. The relative difference in power made that so inoptimal in most situations that it couldn’t be reasonably justified.

That’s the kind of mechanical consideration I’d like to see them seeking to address.

The Elemental Bracer enchant SHOULD not drop its charges as they build, where as the tank one shouldn’t; but there should perhaps be more of them.

While Boomkins can nuke ppl to death, regen themselves to full hp, oh if that didnt work they can just kite out and regularly heal themselves and then nuke to death again. There was a reason druids were not strong casters in Classic its because they have every toolkit in the game and now they are top dps. How does this make sense. I am ready for a fresh classic server so I can abandon this dumpster fire experiment.

They definetly cannot regen to full HP if getting attacked. I am killing boomies on Ret pala with regen up. You tryn tell me Ret is that OP ?

SOD gear/damage far outdoes any healing hybrids have now.

City Protector ranks that were supposed to be released but never were would be the only one after Rank 14.

As a person who’s been on classic alliance servers my entire life blizzard seems to be taking a hit they dont deserve. The pvp is the best its been alliance have lost for 20 years and we finally have active premades(for the time). The Loot encourages more game play so I would love to see a new rank!!! Rank 15…it could be the exact same stats BUT you would have every set bonus from PVE raiding available for the 5 piece(they’d have to make it 6 I guess). it creates new environment game play without adding anything new outside of editing set bonuses… Add bracer, full send so we can 3 piece with aq set items…LOVE THE IDEA

11

They add a bracer to make is 6 set, allow pve tier set bonuses on pvp sets.

I like it. Anything to keep PVP going would be cool. It’s already feeling useless now that we can get our weapons today. Not sure they really thought this one through, but we’ll see.
