Please break low level gems in pvp until at least level 40

You can get more main stat than iLvL 60 gear at level 19-29 and just one shot everything.

Break them in instance pvp or scale them all to +1. Breaking them in instanced pvp is better because even stacking +1s is op at 19.

Fully gemmed and enchanted you can get close to 350 primary before anything procs like crusade. dbl crusader you are sitting at 400str.

I get its low level pvp but some of us play it and its really bad and has been for a while.

Or better yet just put in a debuff in leveling instanced PVP that cap stats appropriately per bracket and you dont have to worry about looking at every broken piece of gear.

I’ve played at the 20 bracket a while, and I don’t remember the primary getting even remotely close to this lol. I will say I haven’t played that bracket in quite a few months… However unless there is a bug or something new, I feel like this number is very exaggerated. Maybe it gets close to that with double crusader, but even then I’d argue it’s most likely higher than what those players are running with

I’d rather just see gear matter in a MMORPG. I’d be open to nerfing gems, but no matter what it feels like there will be people who find the BiS gear/enchants and those who do not want to (and then complain on the forums about being outgeared in an unranked BG).

I’d say the only real problem with low-level BGs are twinks running premades. I think XPoff should be totally open in all brackets, but they should be completely unable to queue with other players if someone has their xp off. I think this would fix a lot of the problems you see with twinks in BGs

the 300+ is achievable around level 25 when more BC dungeons open up.

Im at 280 on a 29 i was messing with and only spent a couple hours farming dungeons. I still have potentially 13 more gem slots left.

So no, at 19 you get around 200+.

The main problem is you can easily equip scaled down pvp gear with gem slots and level very easily gemmed up. Leveling BGs are a total mess atm.

No you wont be leveling 300+ under 20 but you can do 200 which is still insane and low level BGs are a mess atm.

You can easily create a leveling toon with the AH to one shot levelers with just basic abilities like rising sun kick.

yeah nurf gems. also all enchants. also any piece of gear higher ilvl than what im wearing. Boas obviously have to go since they are over powered. people who group with friends too let’s remove that. lets only let players who do the bare minimum play bgs.
lets remove/nerf 15 years of content so some fotm reroll hunter has an easier time.

You are a goof troop.

This isnt a question of being OP.

Its literally a question of being able to 100% someone with one rising sun kick. Its not imba, its completely broken and nonfunctional.

I agree. Kill Chromie

the only thing broken is a sytem that allows under geared players to que up for a team game.
pick up games happen irl too. sometimes at a park youll see guys playing pick up basketball. some players have nice expensive shoes while some players have less expensive shoes but can still play. what you’re asking for is to be allowed to play but you dont have any shoes on.

tldr?
add a minimum ilvl requirement to low level bgs and there wont be any scumbags with empty slots or gear from 10 levels ago complaining about players who actually play the game.

crafted gear has sockets too you big baby.

tl;dr you are a goof troop.

Being able to gem gear with more primary stats from the gemming than on the actual piece of equipment is broken and surely unintended.

Just stop. You have no idea what you are talking about. Dont chime in when you are clueless. You are the forum equivalent of the leveler with missing slots.

True but kill her anyway.

youre saying the extra 50 stats points from gems is game breaking lol. no i get what you’re saying im just making fun of you for it. potions /flasks /food give buffs too and not everyone uses them. lets remove those so some clicker hunter has an easier experience.

But you are the one who looks stupid so /shrug

Thats why you are a goof troop.

Its the literal definition of game breaking to be able to double and triple the stats on nearly every piece of gear with gems.

The equivalency at endgame would be to add 2-3 gem slots to gear and let you buy 100 primary stat gems and stack them.

It doesnt even matter if both are geared. Its literally counter strike. Whoever hits first wins because you one shot.

this game has always rewarded players who put in extra effort. its not game breaking because you have the same opportunity to gear your alts. maybe you’re poor or maybe its not worth it to YOU but be sure some players, both twinks and leveling players, do feel its worth it.

Gems are not the problem, if there is any problem in low level pvp its hunters and hunters alone.

back in the day when our kind was still dominating bgs in our seperate battle groups the community decided improved aimed shot was too strong and hunters either re-specced or didnt get healed. the twink communities should be discouraging new hunter rerolls.
the last 2 xpacs ive made toons at the capped 110/50 bracket specifically to kill hunters since it seems to be the “go to” twink because of how easy it is to play.

Bro I have twinked since vanilla and I probably farmed you on your twink.

You have absolutely no idea the state of low level gemmed PVP and you are talking out of your hind part about it because you want to feel important or something.

Maybe you need attention.

Two gemmed up twinks can walk up to each other and delete each other with 1 or 2 key strokes. Who’s ever attack lands first wins. Its that broken. This has nothing to do with I dont want to farm gear.

Its just literally game breaking. Fully gemmed you have the primary stats as if you were wearing 2-3 sets of gear. Its absolutely garbage and unplayable.

Stop talking about things you do not know anything about.

Sure hunters are a problem, but fully gemmed monks, shamans, and boomkins can hit you with unkickable instant spells for 90% of you health even if you are twinked as well.

Low level PVP is in a completely broken state that I have never seen it in before since vanilla. Its basically counter strike with more buttons.

rampage battlegroup then cyclone with the big migration/transfer. i still have a toon in hell patrol but im sorry to say daddy doesn’t remember getting farmed by anyone. i know how it all works new friend.

You responded to my thread basically before I even posted it. You must be sitting there waiting on someone to talk to you.

Im not that guy.

You are clueless on this issue so go find someone else to bug for attention. Go away

there’s 4 min between those posts and probably a minute between these two. if the forums are too hard to understand i can see why the actual game might be difficult for you.
