none of those arena changes and fixes gonna make ppl play it because of how unreal bad pvp balance is, turtle wow was going to fix it in 1.18 patch but shut down happen.
pvp is half of the game and currently its borderline unplayable.

so make some bold and meaningful pvp balance changes.

ppl might say u are hurting pve by making pvp changes, and u really should hurt pve aswell cause ppl are simply doing too much dmg for pve even

• Cooldowns of 5 minutes and less will now be restored between matches rather than the previous 10 minutes



Dear Kestrel and Octo Team,

With this change, I will no longer be able to use barkskin(feral) and innervate and Berserk as they are 10 and 6 min CD

So .... that gimps our capability of playing by a lot .. and I don't think it's a intended nerf to us.

Hope you guys can reconsider this.

  • This decision was made to ensure increasingly powerful gear is not locked behind rank that is unable to be obtained without the better gear
  • There will be a Phase 7 new gear set that will still be purchasable with Conquest points, and we intend to add additional ways to acquire these points before then
Is it partisan set (pvp tier 2 epic with 3 versions for each class) or blood ring set (one version of plate/mail/leather/cloth)?

YES THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR NOT LOCKING THE GEAR BEHIND RANKED ONLY!!!!! while some pieces seem a bit steep in price, they're atleast reachable now to obtain via chill casual skirmishes. Me personally I don't even need all of these pieces as I like to mix and match various kinds of gears, like a few from raids, the Arathi Basin rep set. You get the seperate blood ring arena rep too + the new costum gear purchasble now by honor and tokens of blood.

Now the only thing missing is crossfaction arena queues just like for BGs.

So! I checked the cloth armor gladiator vendor henley rothand, appareantly it works like this that you can hand in the honor and blood tokens without any reputation restrictions! which means if you start with low rep (probably most) it's best to save up the tokens for the exalted gear since you gain the rep for the friendly, revered and honored pieces eventually by doing arena regardless. I bought a wrist piece which normally requires to be revered succefully for the 3k honor and 8 tokens of blood. BUT BEWARE! there is no refund option. made a ticket and hopefully i get my tokens back i want to save up for the exalted chest piece

I made topic in suggestions section but will rise this again here.
Mail caster set has affix " Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 1%." and "hit" on shoulders as well, correct one should be "with spells".

Melee equivalent has also "crit" and "hit", which make sense.
Leather, cloth and plates caster sets has correct "spells" affixes.

Hello, I am writing on behalf of all tanks. Recently, a clear issue has emerged for every tank: monsters and bosses—even those as low as level 35, despite us being level 60 and having reached all the relevant caps—are resisting our taunts with alarming frequency. Furthermore, they are parrying and dodging our attacks far too often; during recent raids, we’ve encountered bosses that parried or dodged our "yellow" (special/ability-based) attacks 4–7 times in a row. I’m not sure how it happened, but it seems your formula might be broken. Could you please look into this? This really isn't normal...

Please, have a look at this https://octowow.st/bug-report?id=629 because it's still happening: the pet will walk slowly back to the pet command position. This is easily tested in Nefarian due to the frequent fears and is where I noticed it happen again today.

Additionally, I'd like to ask for a threat modifier of -50% or whichever suitable number to Kill Command. Its damage (and thus aggro) can be quite explosive under all raid buffs if it crits. Growl can be made to scale from the pet's MAP to compensate for the loss of aggro from damage when playing solo as BM.
