Play 90-99 Skirmish with Old trinkets+setbonus scaled up to ilvl 590

[schocktot62]

I posted something like this early in WoD too with shadowmourne but there was a hotfix that addressed the issue... however only at level 100.

At level 90 to 99 you can do skirmish arena with Tier 2, AQ trinkets, Shadowmourne, Deathbringer's Will. You name it. Every trinket, every setbonus, every procc weapon. Everything is viable, it all gets scaled up. Play with whatever you enjoy.

If you don't believe me enter a skirmish on that level range and check the stats on a lowlevel item.


Gonna have some fun with my shadowmourne+deathbringer's will warrior, see you in skirmish!

I think it's pretty much intended, so people get to play with those old items for shits n gigglez. But this isn't only in arena it's also in battlegrounds.

[mrgrap2]

not an exploit, this is intended...move to guides.

well weapon procs do not function. i dont know about set bonus of old sets

I tried firelands set on my rogue today and it worked

When I leveled my DK in the start of WoD shadowmourne procc was working just fine, do not have a procc weapon to test it right now but it should work aswell

[hayling]

i tested several weapon proc weapons for hours of pvp, not a single proc
guess they did it too balance all the old weapons and prevent uber procs due to scaling. altough the proc tooltip itself gets scaled, they dont proc. would be interesting now which set maybe give some uber bonus but easy to find out

Some procs doesn't scale.

[Feirunex]

intended as some people said

[Malloot]

Some procs doesn't scale.

Any idea what kind of procs and trickets scale?
I mean for example do str/ap/int procs scale properly and dmg procs not?

Btw this seems like a fun set bonus stack
Item - Warrior T13 Arms and Fury 2P Bonus (Inner Rage) - Spell - World of Warcraft
Item - Warrior T14 DPS 2P Bonus - Spell - World of Warcraft

Weapon procs from shadowmorne did not scale. It would do like 100damage. I think the only thing that scales is the weapon damage. I was able to level from 90-100 with shadowmourne(1-2 shotting most mobs) but as soon as i hit 100 it seemed to drop off in damage. To test just go to a battleground and look at the item level on an item and you can see that it scales with your character level.

To be fair, I don't think this is intended as much as something Blizzard are too lazy to fix, Low-level pvp has been
broken forever.

Either way good post +rep.

No, it's intended. Items are supposed to scale up in PvP zones. The specific reason is that without the scaling, heirlooms have too much of an impact. This way, everyone has a decent chance. The reason it works for all items on all levels is that you can go lots and lots of levels without ever replacing an item. I've had times when I would still have a lvl20 necklace while my character was lvl70+. This mechanic simply levels the playing field somewhat.

I'm sure they have some rationalization, but Blizzard have never taken pvp that seriously. The way they just abandoned
