Please improve the rewards you can get from Arathi Basin, similar to how you improved the rewards for Warsong Gulch
There isn’t a single piece from Arathi Basin that is an upgrade to Phase 1 gear
The gear is so bad it is silly. It’s a new phase, new levels, the gear from Arathi Basin rewards should be worth using.
There isn’t a single item from Arathi Basin rewards that is worth using currently.
“Oh, but you’ll get to use the epic gear!!”
Yeah, when we’re level 60 lol - in 140+ days
“Oh but the gear has stamina! It’s PvP gear you see!”
Literally all the Phase 1 gear has stamina, very often the slot has more stamina than the Arathi Basin gear does, or there are better stamina choices from dungeons
The biggest issue with the Arathi Basin gear currently is the lack of spellpower, lack of crit %, lack of hit % on it
If you were to even do the same gear, but give it the same spellpower to alternatives from Phase 1, that would be enough
Please improve the Arathi Basin rewards, just like you did the Warsong Gulch rewards
Right now the Arathi Basin rewards are DOGWATER

I don’t know what you’re talking about here.
I’m having fun playing Season of Discovery
I just want the Arathi Basin rewards to actually be REWARDS

I think I’d be happier if they gave us a new BG as a whole, but something SoD-only.
WSG, AB, and AV are fine n’ all, but they are just old as heck.
Staples of Vanilla. Nothing new if you’ve played them before.
Wish we could have Azshara Crater or some new BG instead.

Another good, easy change would be if you allowed all the gear to be used by any class
For example, the cloth boots that have spellpower on them — these currently can only be worn by Mages / Warlocks
Resto druid / balance druid could use these boots. There is no gear with spellpower on it for druids.

100% agree with OP.
Arathi Basin rewards are garbage

I mean… I’ve got a bunch of gnomer and bfd gear, and can still use both the belt and boots.
I’m not really seeing the problem here
Edit: ok opening up class restrictions a bit like suggested a couple posts above is something that could probably be done.
Yeah they literally made Revolosh drop plate boots that are basically on par with the lvl 40 plate boots from revered with Arathi Basin. Not to mention I’m just going to be wearing tier boots from Gnomer eventually anyways.
my BiS boots are from AB revered and im pretty sure preBiS belt from there too
Trinket happens to be great for 1v1 warriors as well
yep this is the problem, all the AB rewards favor melee. so as alliance you’re grouped with 14 minmaxers and no class balance.
meanwhile horde is just ppl that like to pvp. it is almost always a crapshoot. good thing you can level fishing in there
need to add more clarity on what rewards needs improvement.
Melee/cloth caster gear seems to be fine itemization, but the main issue is non-cloth caster gear. Any resto/elemental/balance druids and shammys don’t have viable rewards from AB, since the spell power gear is class locked for cloth casters.
This 100% - Why are AB rewards class locked when WSG is not and caster druid and shamans have nothing. Just open gear up to anyone, problem solved.

What are you even talking about? They didn’t change WSG rewards for SOD. They are the same rewards they always have been. And the boots and belt are prebis for melee. The problem you are having is that raid gear is better than the old BG rewards…but raid gear is better than ALL the old rewards. Not everything in the game needs to give you BiS gear.
This right here.
The AB rewards are gutter trash if youre a Druid/Shaman caster
I was happy the AB rewards were bad because now I don’t feel obligated to grind the rep.
I enjoyed pvp in phase 1 but this new phase 2 burst meta isn’t even fun anymore.
We’ve been asking for a new BG since Legion man that feels like forever ago now
