7.2 artifact traits

[Deleted]

Does the new artifact traits work in arena?

or is it still only the ones u could get in 7.1.5

Edit:

Ok the Devs finally got back to us and here is their reply:

There are two important points we want to make sure everyone knows:

1. All artifact traits are active in PvP, including Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds.

2. Players always receive 36 points worth of Stamina in their Artifact, including the 10% Stamina received from the first trait on the new Artifact Emblem.

'All traits' means everything, including any and all points placed in Concordance of Legionfall. Nothing is disabled.

Doesn't seem like there's a clear answer to this yet. Which of course sucks.

Yep, i just made a ticket hoping to get a answer

Don't hold me to this but...

Everyone is given the first trait so the 10& damage n Stamina trait in Instanced PVP - Whether you have unlocked it or not...

Then the traits after you have to unlock and yes it is use-able.

had this discussion with a few people and seen it on other threads, but I have no blue post to back this up so could just be Chinese Whispers

Guess Ima finally call it quits if that's true. As a pvp'ing alt-o-holic this is just too much.

Ticket response

Thanks for contacting us regarding

I wanted to discuss this matter with you in-game but unfortunately you weren't online by the time I received your ticket.

Unfortunately we can't give you a certain answer on whether or not the new traits will work in PvP as this is a question more for the developers than Customer Support.

All we have from the patch notes is: "In instanced PvP (arenas, battlegrounds, and Ashran), Artifacts now grant a minimum Stamina increase to all players. This minimum is equivalent to the purchase of 36 points, one of which is the trait which grants 10% Stamina."

I recommend either asking on the PvP forums as a player may have already found that out or tweet our devs at: https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs

Here's the link for the PvP forums: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/19369579/

Someone has posed this same question 23 minutes ago here:

I have also noticed that your account does not have a Battle.net Authenticator! This is a very good way to ensure the security of your account from those who would attempt to steal it.

If interested, you can find more information on the authenticator here: https://eu.battle.net/support/en/art...-authenticator

Have a great weekend!

Which sounds terrifying. I pvp as a different spec to that which I pve with, which gets the most of my ap. going to be lot harder for trying different specs

Yeah funk this shit sheet. Pvp was just flushed down from the toilet for real.

This is actually pretty nice, since you can get up to 870 gear really quick (880+ if you're lucky to get 2 legendaries in the first week) you're almost pvping at high level as soon as you hit 110. I like this

Yeahhh... So we balance PvP by flattening Ilvls - then we enable every weapon trait which is an incredible amount of imbalance, grinding, and prevents alternative characters, new players and alternative specs from being competitive in PvP.. Now there's an Ilvl gap AND a significant trait gap..

Except this prevents that from happening - unless I'm misunderstanding and you don't want a competitive scene?

[Nuba]

honestly it was actually me who misunderstood it. I thought "you had all traits active when you entered pvp zone" as it seems obviously the only thing to do, not "all your traits will work in pvp" which is by far the stupidiest thing that could ever exist

[Ohmega]

There is no way that this is the case. They would not introduce such a dramatic change into PvP without putting that in the notes, right?
