One day.
It will be too late for Blizzard to realize that Ghostcrawler fucked up their game balance.

*All characters now have a base Resilience of 65%.
*Resilience has been removed from most PvP gear.

Wot?

*A blog with additional information and explanation for the reasoning behind PvP changes will be available very soon.

*edit*
Well, I suppose I should mention the other pvp changes as well.

*Season 13 Tyrannical gear had their item levels increased to ilevel 496, up from ilevel 493.
*Season 13 Tyrannical Elite gear had their item levels decreased to ilevel 496, down from ilevel 512.
*Battlegrounds, Rated Battlegrounds, and Arenas now have an ilevel cap. All gear will be scaled down to ilevel 496.

Just waiting for the moment where they remove stats as a factor in its entirety now.

by **Seranita** Sat Mar 23, 2013 2:03 pm

thids is good news for to long one has had to grind for months to get just enough gear to survive now that gear is not as influential it means those that dont pvp as often actualy stand a chance!

its all about the skill!

"Great news every body! Blizzard has seen the light!"

Eh, gear still matters. There's not just resilience you know, it's one of many stats.
And I assume that you can still gem/enchant for resi. I see why they're removing it from the gear though, as we'd be nearly immune to damage by the end of the expansion if it kept growing.

I hope Cíd is aware of the fact that Brian Holinka is the lead PVP designer these days xD

This new change is sweet as fuck though. They halved the amount of time it takes to get full gear (no need to upgrade all your shit to elite gear at 25k conq points) and basically, PVE gear will never trump PVP gear in PVP ever again if they keep this model.

by **Emrys** Sat Mar 23, 2013 4:27 pm

I may have missed it somehow, but anyone knows when this change will come into effect?

Edit: I am guessing 5.3 though... Can't they think about what they want to throw in a patch before they bring out this stuff two weeks afterwards? Sad

by **Gor'Thrak Frosthowl** Sat Mar 23, 2013 4:37 pm

5.3, assuming that they don't retract their decision by then.

Oh, I'm aware that Ghostcrawler isn't running all design departments (which would've been terrible indeed). It is just that he runs the wrong one (class balance), if he even should be allowed to have anything at all.

by **Lexgrad** Sat Mar 23, 2013 5:42 pm

I did notice that the season 13 honour gear has more pvp power and resi than the tyrannical season 13 stuff. Though the other stats where better. I guess it has started now kinda.

I agree with this.

Alliance should simply attack on their own once Voljin invaded the city and crush both at the same time.
Returning the favor for the Broken Front.
