When should you level via BGs?

It’s clear the 10-19 bracket is completely ruined. Is there any time at which leveling BG becomes - not good - but less of a mess?

I think lower level PvP is just bad in general now. The power gaps are too large with broken OP abilities/gear and level 70s party syncing.

Honestly? Never.

Way too many premades and twinks as well as party sync’d groups all over lower level random BG’s.

And you will see this in every bracket not just the 10-19

If you want to I would suggest go at level 67. 67-70 should get you enough honor for a full honor set at 70. You can buy Shadowlands trinkets (must if you insist on pvping before 70) you can buy very cheap 319 gear at 60 or 61 and more at 66 and a weapon at 67.

I level most of my alts exclusively via BGs from 61-70. It’s fun. I don’t like the brackets prior to that.

This. Quest, get some 223ilvl greens + 319ilvl AH blues and you’ll be fine. Don’t join with any non-DF gear and you’ll be good to go.

Edit: + the PvP trinkets in Oribos ( 800g/ea from the PvP vendor ).

you forgot to also suggest buying the pvp trinkeys in oribos. it’s unfortunate players cant lock xp at level 60. regular content only rewards 180ilvl stuff and if you take the time to try and open the content that rewards higher ilvl gear, zereth mortis, for example youll ding 61 or 62 just trying to prepare your toon to pvp.
id love to see the season 4 sl blue gear get put back on the vendors in oribos.

never, unless you like running into premades, twinks, and the random mm hunter 1 shotting you through defensives

I actually really love that

61-69 bg to earn honor for 70

I just did 10-60 in about 5 hours or so doing quest/bgs/dungeons. It goes fairly quickly.

The BG’s are full of MM hunter players who obviously need it easy to enjoy themselves for “some” reason :slight_smile:

If you want to pvp at 60. Transfer to a non shadowlands account.

at this point theyd have to gear up on a df account first.

Levelling toons in pvp used to be super fun. Sadly, there are now too many gear gaps & twinks for this to be a good option. Equalized gear would help imho. Twinks ruin the pvp experience for new players & casuals @ a time when the pvp population is diminishing. If only blizz cared about pvp lol…

The low level Q’s are terrible as well. All due to the above problems. Not enough playing overall

before SL yes , After SL nope .

At this point they might as well just make pvp one huge bracket . 10-70 at this point and remove party sync its basically the same thing .

On my level 23 Alliance Aff Warlock on a Saturday night. Average wait time 9 minutes. Currently at 16 mins still not in. I gave up after 22 minutes.

Funny how I get in after a couple of minutes on my 66 Balance Druid. Great incentive to boost to level 60.

I believe that unironically would be more balanced than now (for low level brackets only), like putting a 59 dps in a dungeon with a level 10 arcane mage. Their damage would have to be scaled up so high to compete with the top ends amount of abilities they’d probably have the upper hand.
