200 vs 226 ilvl Ion interview

when you type 200 VS 260 is alweys meens pvp ! a ilv 200 player VS ilvl 260 player it alweys pvp

Again wrong. Even if the stats increase overall weighted average is 26%, the output will be much higher than that.

In simple words:
1% stat increase ≠ 1% output increase

Curious, he didn’t clear mythic at 200 median raid ilvl. :3

if u type Dog Vs Cat it meens a dog fights a cat head vs head so ofocurse it is pvp it is never pve …

dum click bait tread

The thing is that he did talk about pve.
We are sure about that … And yes on average he is right.

Personally my problem is that in his answer he didn’t even consider to say something about pvp, where this thing is a different story…

Well, it’s not that Ion’s thing is pvp, but as game director he should be aware of that this difference is big… especially when comparing similar skill level players, which in the end sometimes works as gatekeeping ratings because of seer output or in case of similar skill, that something small extra someone is missing…

So more or less he missed the opportunity to say he is “aware” of what happens in pvp…which IS a big thing…for the crowd…, And by forgetting that he just makes pvpers feel forgotten…and then come ask them for money …

it is not a big deal in pve the ilvl 226 carrys the 200 so the ilvl 200 be greatfull that the 226 does not charge gold for the boost …

Look don’t take it on them if you actually paid attention, as Preach said. He didn’t ask any PVP oriented questions cause TL:DR he wouldn’t do the PVP community justice if he tried answering anything.

this interview and the selfish mage in my tw ulduar grp
shaman asks for int buff mage responds he has "weakaura"to buff only himself?
not only does he get my alt to wipe but he even bragged about it+yogg saron ninja pull
sad we have such selfish entitled ppl like him in the game to tell us we are getting carried

I literally simmed my character in full item level 200 gear and then in item level 226 gear. If what you are saying was true, then the difference would be bigger than what the sims have showed it to be.

11.48k dps as a fury warrior …

considering he didnt even clear neither SD nor PF on even +2 the how would he know :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Neither did Limit to be fair. Weren’t all of their members sitting around 220 item level when they were killing Sire for the first time?

forget ilvl 226 gear i will be crafting ilvl 230 sets in 9.1.0

just hopefully they dont nerf it :frowning:

Have you not noticed that you’ll only be able to wear one piece like this at the time?

“The reagent does have some stipulations however, increasing the items required level to 60 and making it unique-equipped, which would seem to imply only one ilevel 230 crafted piece of gear can be worn at a time.”.

on wowhead it says:

these new reagents can at least help serve as catch-up gear for max level alts and returning players. so it is crafable ilvl 230 catshup gear meens u cna have a full set of it …

No. It means that you can put on one piece like this (preferably something with high stats, like a helmet/chest) in order to help yourself out with the early level 60 gearing. The “Unique Equipped: Shadowlands Crafted” keyword means that you can only wear one piece like this at a time. So, no. Not full set, sadly.

“The reagent is also obtained by crafting, created by the six primary gear crafting professions not including Enchanting or Inscription. Although they all create the same item, it is also BoP, so it will not be exchanged between professions or traded on the auction house.”

Those just seem to be the different profession versions of the same item.

Can u share the 200ilvl sim pls? I am curious to see it. Make sure all items are exactly the same ilvl 200 including conduits

Its hilarious how out of touch it showed him being. Every knew it, he just confirmed it.

I like how youre both making grand sweeping statements about content you do not participate in thus know jack about. It’s like me saying something like " dude I did an introductory cooking course once so I know for a fact that being a chef is super easy, I could easily open up a restaurant if I just tried."
