PTR Twink Nerf

Twink are getting hit with the nerf stick....badly, on the PTR's.

The (IMO) crappiest one is the loss of our dearly beloved Fishing Hat. It will now have a level requirement of 30...which means (of course) we can not use it. So what does this mean? Well, in all honesty, not that much. The 70 health difference really wasn't THAT detrimental to savng your life. But it WAS a symbol for the twink community. It WAS the "epic" item for twinks...the one item each twink dreamed about and spent countless sundays skipping dinner to fish. Countless hours of corpse hopping through crocodile infested waters or troll infested beaches. And now...every twink is going to be wearing green tinted goggles. IMO - this is the WORST change. People have spent honestly 10 months of fishng every sunday to get thsi darn hat. Other people, once obtaining the hat, destroyed their goggle and unlearned engineering to get a different profession up.

Secondly, The AGM now is +12 stamina as opposed to +12 dodge rating. This hurts rogues BAD. VERY BAD. Sure, having an extra 240 health is nice, but not as nice as having 20% dodge. All in all, this is a buff to the twink community...as most classes would prefer to have more health than dodge....but as a rogue...this sucks. So long are the days of easily manhandling warriors and hunters...

Nightmare Seed now requires level 60. Eh, whatever. Not that big of a deal. 2000 health for a short time was way to overpowered for a 19 anyways.

Leg enchants (LW and Tailoring) will no longer be able to be applied to legs. This is fine for current twinks....but this has truly decimated any twinks that will be made after the patch is released. I don't understand why anybody would make a twink (which is supposed to have the best gear) when they are no longer capable of getting the best gear...or getting anywhere near the ebst gear. IMO they should either take this 100% away (i.e. get rid of it from those that lready have it) or keep on letting it be available. Either way, I don't care. The couple hundred gold I spent on it isn't worth never seeing another twink be made.

Shoulder/Head Enchants don't work. I'm not exactly sure on the details of this, but apparently the manner in which to obtain these is broken on the PTR...which means a fix has been implemented. IMO this is a good thing. Other people are yelling about how long it took blizz to fix this and how they have spent 1000's of gold on items to make this work.

That's it atm...but I'll keep updates going.|||I have just about all of those items and I won't miss them. I hope they don't change my fishing boots though.......if so, oh well.

I do think that if they are going to change the leg armor they should take it away from everybody. +8 to one stat or +100 hps is a big gap from 30 sta, 10 agi. New twinks will be getting the shaft on that one.

This just means it's time to venture into the 29 bracket and the 35+ enchants|||Eh I think it is mostly fair, and i don't mind.

Although, maybe I am selfish for it, but I really hope they leave my clefthide alone.|||Well, that just means I didn't waste my Sunday's fishing then. I've been too busy the last few weekends playing battle grounds for my priest to work on getting the fishing hat or boots. I agree with the sentiments about the armor kits. If they prevent future twinks from using them, then Blizz should take it away from everyone. Any word on the BG matching? I saw a post in the patch thread about it being there, but no other information was provided.|||Quote:

240HP vs. about 9% dodge. Probably bad for rogues but good for every other class in the game.|||Quote:

RIP twinks.




Not really. It's just a change that shall be overcome. The only thing that would result in "RIP Twinks" is XP from BG's....but even then, it really wouldn't matter as World PVP would pick up.|||Quote:

Yeah, this is not correct. Plus it seems the more appropriate saying would be RIP new twinks. Which makes the old twinks even more overpowered.|||Of course will anger the twinking community which will in turn take it out on the lowbies that venture into the bgs. Of course they were the ones crying about the gear disparities... No more painless quick games vs. preforms. I see long gy camp sessions and cruelty.
