Does anyone know what the PVP gear will be for level 80? We assume it will be season 5 gear, we're at work so we can't check content from the other sites, if someone can find the next season of PVP gear please cut and paste that information here because we are especially interested in the Warlock gear.
And also, of late we heard that some of the best PVP gear can only be obtained from PVE stuff. Does anyone have any more information about that? Something doesn't sound right about it.
We believe there is a blue rep set, much like there was in Burning Crusade, but will not be s5, that will be released much later, due to arenas not starting again for some time, due to the fact that not a lot of players are 80 yet, and with so few 80's arenas would give the best gear to the first 80's due to not many people to go against, we mean you can imagine, playing the same team 30 times in a row, going for 2250.
Unlike Badges of Justice which will only be legal tender for level 70 item rewards, or Arena Points, which will be wiped clean the moment we ding 71, Honor will still be usable to purchase on-level rewards. Of course, we can expect inflation to apply-a pair of Guardian bracers today cost 11,794 Honor and 20 Warsong Gulch Marks of Honor, but data suggests that the Deadly Gladiator bracers will cost 39,400 Honor and a 1660 personal Arena Rating. The Guardian belt and boots currently cost 17,850 Honor and 40 Eye of the Storm / Arathi Basin Marks of Honor, but looks like they'll cost 62,000 Honor and 1630 and 1720 personal Arena ratings respectively.
The current Honor cap is at 75,000, with each type of Mark of Honor capped at 100. This means that at the cost of the boots and belt, you'll only be able to purchase one piece when you hit level 80 and play a few games through Season 5 when it starts on December 16.
That being said, the honor gain from BGs and HKs should go up by about 347%.
Since the time invested is the exact same, the only benefit is the banking 75k some people did to get that one piece.
We wish they had not upped the prices and reset honor -- but for a different reason entirely: people should not be able to front load something in old content to get in new content. For our part, the same thing is true for Arena points, but everyone disagrees with us here. S5 arena points should get reset when S6 comes out, or only be good for the purchase of S5. Why should the best-of-the-best gear (possibly skill too) wise get to farm those lesser players and keep them from obtaining equipment and bank their ill-gotten gains for the new gear?
So what is the deal with the Wintergrasp boss? We heard there was a 10 man version as well. Are they both seven day locks and is it server-wide? If so, how do you go about picking someone who gets to do the raid?
Fortunately, it's not nearly that lame
When controlling wintergrasp, you gain access to a raid portal. It means that this portal functions like any other instance portal (raid or not). This means that if the entire 80 population could be formed into 25 groups of 25-mans, they could all do it simultaneously. If some of those wanted to do the 25-man and the 10-man, they could also do that. The lockout is only (currently) only applies to either the raid or heroic raid, which ever you do. Just like you can do Naxx-25 and then do Naxx-10 later with your buddies.
