PvP Trinkets Changed

Every trinket now removes any movement impairing effect and any effect that causes the player to lose control of their character.

edit: I'm really not a big fan of this change atm, because it seems to heavily favor classes that don't rely on CC and races/classes that have other ways of breaking specific CC (stoneform, wotf)

Dwarf paladins rejoice?

Does anyone, off the cuff, remember which classes didn't have a fear break on their pvp trinkets? Unfortunately I've only played warrior / rogue / warlock / shaman so far, and don't have much experience w/ other classes.

Makes huge diffrence in balancing. Quite bad for rogues and druids and very good for Warriors.

While I don't think we're going to see a huge change in 5vs5 because of this, it'll be interesting to see what happens regarding the dmg/dmg Feral Druid/Rogue type of teams, finally a counter to Cyclone.

A recipe for a superior resilience gem has been added and is rumored to be held by the residents of Halaa.

Mystic Dawnstone?

I hadn't even thought about the possibility of it affecting cyclone. It'd be rough for us if it does break it for sure

edit: posts are confirming it does break cyclone

Well thats a hefty and unneeded kick in the balls to rogues.

Rinced · 06/06/07, 9:07 PM

Blind is absolutly worthles now … and probably breaks sap aswell … so gn8 rogue in 2vs2

Shadowed · 06/06/07, 9:09 PM

Hardly

People always overhype these kind of changes and make it sound like the world is going to end.

edit: Since someone probably wants a longer post so padded it with about 500 words to make it longer.

The medallion version only costs 16983 now.

I see the logic in making all the trinkets the same, but if it affects new stuff such as blind, cyclone, deathcoil, etc., I think that's a really bad idea.

Meddler · 06/06/07, 9:47 PM

Looks like everything might actually include everything:

Confirmation of cyclone there at least, would assume other things like sap/blind as well based off that post.

Character copy isn't working yet but made a level 1 and checked champions hall. Cost is way down but did not see any new gear.

This makes me nervous...

* Arena and Honor Rewards: As part of the inauguration of Season 2, the costs of all Arena items and Honor items has been reduced.

And no other mention of pvp gear. It's early, and it's not live but it just makes me a bit nervous.

This seems to help warriors and paladins the most, and hurts a lot more than it helps for some classes such as druid. Oh well, at least my pvp trinket breaks snares and polymorph now? Whee.

Shadowed · 06/06/07, 11:06 PM

Not a bad deal when you consider it would save risking shifting out and getting stunned in caster form....you can use trinket in form right?

Calantus · 06/06/07, 11:21 PM

A very interesting change indeed. I don't think this will affect 5v5 too heavily, but it's definitely going to rock 2v2 and to a lesser extent 3v3. A lot of strategies revolve around killing during a CC, especially the Warlock+SPriest vs Warrior+Paladin matchup. I guess it's going to come down to if you can get the mass dispell off before the warrior trinkets out of DC and pummels.

It's definitely needed that it removes everything that was removable before, shaman in particular got the short end of the stick before and that wasn't fair. Removing everything though... I dunno, seems a bit much. Especially if paladins and mages still can't invuln out of cyclone.
