    Not strictly true, it's just not the same PvE as it is in any other bracket, since the hardest content is 5mannable (or soloable depending on the class)

    PvP got wrecked by the 409s. Some classes are great, others aren't, and everyone has to stack as much resilience as humanly possible to even compete.

    Don't like it? Level up to 90 then.
    Those items will NOT be removed, end of discussion.

    I dont like it. My level 80 paladin shouldn't be able to solo Lich King heroic 25man - something the best level 90 players at solo in the world aren't able to do.

    How is this gear any different to being able to use Cataclysm gear at level 77? Go in to a random bg in the 75-79 bracket and look at the players with 60k hp in over 300ilvl gear one shotting everyone.

    Seems like this is nothing new to MoP and isn't a bug or anything of the sort that some people are claiming.

    Grats to OP and friends for finding a new way to enjoy the game that isn't just max level grind. I am sure you had a lot of fun doing this. Haters gonna hate etc...

    Those 409 ilvl items really should be level 85 gear - this is already on-par to heroic DS gear for 85's (best gear 85s could wear during Cata was 410 or occasional 416 from two final bosses) and scaling of these BOEs on level 80 toons is plain batshit crazy.

    Some ilvl 308 blues in Cata were acceptable, this ilvl wasn't much above best gear they could wear during 80 content (277 ICC25 HC gear, 284 RoS25HC and LK 25HC gear) but now it's over 120 freaking ilevels. O_o

    Congrats, was just about time some twinks do odd stuff. After we saw was it LK25, or 10 on level 80 solo'd by a DK, I knew it would be easy to do 85 raids.

    Uh, you do know that those level 90's will have higher base stats and higher gear than your level 80 in 409 gear right? Alot more.

    not with the way secondary stats work.

    Pity, the raid was a real challenge. Working out newer tactics for bosses that only apply to level 80 is fun, especially when we were the first to try it.

    pretty sure ragewyn's (spelling) crew did an all dk clear - i.e. still 25 players....but it was all dk's. dunno if it was hm tho

    also remember when comparing stats/ranks/dmg/heals/etc between 80s and 85s the secondary stat scaling (already brought up) AND the 35% dmg/hp reduction of the bosses really can't be overlooked (and has also been brought up, just not mentioned enough imo)

    it was some firelands bosses, and i believe the major one was heroic baleroc because no attacks could ever hit him

Heck, with those stats, its possible for some classes that scale REALLY well with secondaries to outpreform what they would do at 85 in the same gear.

    It is still fairly impressive ^.^ How would heroic go?
    I actually think it's unusual for classes *not* to outperform what they'd do at 85. Levels do matter for PvE though - if bosses were a static 3 levels above you, 80s would probably be able to compete with some 90s.

    I have a twinked Shadow Priest at 80, and I can do up to 100k DPS burst and 50-60k sustained.

    Base stats, sure. Secondary stats, not even close. My Priest is above Mastery cap when my Windsong decides to proc Mastery (80% passively), I have 40% crit, 43% haste and 7.5k Spellpower (not a Secondary stat, just added it for comparison). This is without buffs, outside of Shadowform. I still have a couple of items to upgrade, too.

    Also, your signature has quite a few errors to the point that it almost doesn't make sense anymore.

    The fact that these level 80's have the get up and go to actually do the raid and do it well, is more than impressive, so what if they have increased stats, that is blizzard's fault not the lvl 80's actually doing stuff that no one else has done.
