Why are my stats garbage? Why is the gear i worked so hard for to have fun in pre patch with trash in battlegrounds? What happened? I go from 70% mastery to 20%? Why. why are you ruining one of the things that makes end of expansion any fun?

There’s a change in MoP that decreased PvE gear ilvl in instanced PvP. If I had to guess, they somehow applied the level 90 version of that to 85 and applied it to all our current gear so we’re being crippled extra hard. Just a theory.
Pre patches are always unpredictable and thinking you were going to “have fun” is cute.

This is deffinitely an intended conquence but it should be turned off until MoP
Damage feels low. Exact opposite of Cata prepatch.
Love being a walking tank though
i hate it. can we fix it
Please fix this blizzard.
Pls fix. Not fun.
fix please
BGs are scaling us to 89. This is the issue that needs to be fixed.

Yea I lost over 400 agility after the PvP gear change and while I can attack much faster, the damage reduction is still to great for it to have balanced out. We will see what happens next Tuesday I guess.
Because the new bracket is lvl 85-89 in MOP. There is no lvl 85 bracket. Everyone’s upset because their gear does NOT scale up to 89. This is consistent with the end of real MOP however it was a terrible change, your gear absolutely should scale up to 89.
Anyways the problem resolves itself after prepatch. Either your lvl 90 or you’re using level appropiate gear in the 85-89 bracket. Everyone’s secondary stats are currently dogwater and BG’s are not fun. I’ll just wait until MOP re-release to BG personally.
Yeah the scaling of the bg is wrong and we are scaled to level 89 but hundreds of points in hit and other stats equate to like 0.01% of said skills. Something else is wrong too.
It’s actually 100% correct according to the final patch of MOP. But that change (making gear not scale to X9) was a terrible change. It should be reverted imo.
And here’s a word from chatGPT;
This gear scaling system was removed in Patch 5.3, titled “Escalation,” released on May 21, 2013. The patch notes indicate that gear scaling was discontinued in battlegrounds, leading to players’ gear retaining its original stats, thereby affecting the balance in level brackets.
The removal of gear scaling in Patch 5.3 significantly impacted PvP dynamics, especially for players at the lower end of level brackets, as they could no longer rely on scaling to compete with higher-level players.
Yeah lvl 85’s in the 85-89 bracket are garbage. That’s why BGs are not fun right now.
but this is supposed to be a month of fun strong gear that we worked all of the expansion to get. it doesnt matter if its fixed when MOP comes out its supposed to be fixed now. this is dumb. fix this

I was so hyped to play destro again and actually have chaos bolt BLAST some folks, since it was a wet noodle in Cata… Get into a bg, pop cds, and MUCH BIGGER NUMBERS than before patch… Oh… It was only 10% of the targets health. Well dammit… That was lame.

Yeah fosure but I doubt they’ll do anything.
Also my last bg I got like 26 honor or something abysmally low. Only 200 more games and I can get a piece of gear !
It’s not correct. Scaling is broken. I tested it from MOP Beta. Stat ratios are not at all close to accurate. Blizzard made an oopsie-daisy.
no they pushed us up to the 80-89 bracket which has baseline stats, then your gear works up from there, problem is our gear isnt on the level of the new green gear as were basically undergeared 80s fighting each other.
