Luhox Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Problem: Items that are above 522 ilevel don't downscale in arenas/bg. Date tested: 22/05/2014 Realm: x100 Priority: 9/10
Dhurakan Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Pve items downscale to 500 ilvl so pvp gear is simlpy better You mean?
uraganuu Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Even if they don't downscale, it's still alot better to use PvP armor when PvPing due to the huge PvP power bonuses on them. When 5.4 was set of the server, everyone had Dreadful/Malvolent from previous patch and newly rolled players had the option to buy PVE armor sets. Now, even if those PVE armors had much better stats, the Dreadful sets were much much better purely because of PvP power. So, even if they don't downscale, the people who wear higher lvl armor then 522(Grevious) are actually using lesser items.

They should downscale to 522 ilevel, not 500 Taken from battle.net patch notes: http://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/forum_icon/LZUR1I7TWKB21288055964704.gifBattlegrounds and Arenas * All non-gladiator gear in Battlegrounds, Rated Battlegrounds, and Arenas will be scaled down to an item level ceiling of 496. * Grievous Gladiator gear is exempt from this item level ceiling. * The item level ceiling will increase at a rate of 1 item level point per week until it reaches a maximum of 512.
