So I copied my boomkin to the PTR to see how the stats difference was. And, as you see. The full upgraded T2 weapons are superior to the new s13 weapons. How many people will complain about this?

hmm i'm fine with it as long as 27.000 conquest point weapon is better than t2 2/2
You failed to look at the ilvl difference: the S12E Gavel has an ilvl higher than the S13 base. So the stats are right, give or take. Disregard this, I fail at ilvl.

I don't see a huge issue, lets me focus on the gear rather then the weapons till 27,000
Not a big difference, and since they don't require 2200 i think ppl should be okay with that.
^ Uh no... Since wrath the new T1 was always better than the last season's T2...
I'm pretty sure that's a bug. Those vendors are fucked up, either miss weapons on horde side, pvp trincket on ally side, and the model on some classes, like the mage, looks like season 12.
I hope it's going to be fixed, cause if it's not a bug....it kinda sux.
and people doubted me when I said this was true. They need to raise the pvp power/resilience a bit more on the new weapons if they're not changing ilvl.
yeh its a total fail, like pvp always is with blizzard.
pve the normal mode gear is ilvl 522, while sha of fear hc gear 2/2 is 517, 5 item levels lower.
but pvp gear being 5 item levels higher for the best gear....no words can explain the fail at 2 different views on gearing at blizz.
The problem is that while people are gearing up in 5.2, their weapons still won't hold up to the previous weapons. They have to get 27k conquest to get the elite weapon. The caveat here is that if you don't (or can't) do RBGs, people who can get into organized groups like that have an advantage over people who don't (or can't). There are some specs that have a really difficult time getting into RBGs unless it's a special circumstance.
I'm confused, what do specs have anything to do with how much conquest you can cap weekly? Anyways, I agree that some specs have a difficult time getting into RBGs but there are also arenas. I also don't understand what you mean by "can't" when it comes to not doing RBGs. Can you do Reg BG Premades? Can you add a friend through their battletag? Can you read Trade Chat for Low MMR RBG groups? I mean there is also an IRC for RBGs (battlemasters.org) and there is even an addon called oQueue. When saying you cannot do RBGs that's just laziness talking imo.
Oh and if you don't do RBGs, why the heck would need the top end gear for PvP?
