I feel you man, just go to arathi and farm elites, you can easily bump your ilvl to 330-335.

326 ilvl is an annoying place to be. No one wants me for even +0 mythics, but +0 mythic is definitely the best thing for me to be doing. Always gotta wait to do mythics until my tank friend is on for us to make a group lol.

If only I could replace my damn 281 and 286 rings. Everything else I have is 325 or above, but those fucking rings. Can't get rid of them lol

We also saw that it's not just gonna swap phases when the resource bar completes like many of us expected, they've added an additional 1 week wait time to live to make it into a roughly monthly cycle.

Week 1: Horde contribution bar (alliance world boss)
Week 2: Alliance dead time (horde can queue warfront)
Week 3: Alliance contribution bar (horde world boss)
Week 4: Horde dead time (alliance can queue warfront)

Did it actually hit 100%? Its just showing 99% for NA horde right now. That would be really annoying to have the queue for warfront for an entire week. It should only be 2-3 days at most (half the time it took for contributions at most). A week seems pretty bad for both sides in that you can only do it a few times a month.

I know they mentioned having more warfronts in the future so its likely that we will get more warfront areas to work on later. But I wouldn't expect that until 8.1 or later.

There are basically free 300's on the AH. There are also darkmoon card trinkets ranging from about 15k to 90k depending on how good they are; 15k for the bad caster DPS one, 30k and 90k for the two DH trinkets which are solid gear choices for mythic raids.



As far as i can tell they're cancelling out differences in mainstat and stamina which leaves only secondary stat differences but the change in secondary stats between somebody with low vs high gear is minor because secondaries aren't on azerite gear and had their scaling slowed on other pieces. We ended up at far lower amounts of secondaries than i expected and we're gonna be stuck here for a very long time

People were rolling into our arenas with almost 90k hp last night and appropriately getting destroyed in 3-4 hits. it feels like in arena theres really no balance on the damage at all.

I'm not sure about arenas - i've heard otherwise from some people, that there was minimal noticable difference between playing i350 chars and their i300 alts. For open world and BG's at least there is a scaling system in place so that it might look like you're hitting for 30k but the enemy will actually take e.g. 23k damage from your 30k hit - it's like the NPC scaling in leveling zones.
