If the Battleground or Arena match starts, Fleshcraft Icon Fleshcraft absorbs more than 30% of its maximum health. This is reduced to 30 percent maximum health.
PvP Gear Scaling
For War Mode, Arenas, and Battlegrounds In Battlegrounds, Arenas, and War Mode, gear that is unrated increases by 17-36 item level.. For instance an item with a level of 177 piece of gear has a level of 177 for PvE, however it increases to level 213 for PvP. At higher levels, the item level increases in battle as well as War Mode decreases. If you increase an item's rank to 7 and it has an item level 216, it will increase to the level of 233 in PvP. This is 17 levels of item.
Rated gear for PvP is rated by 13 levels of item level in PvP scenarios, which means that an item level 220 gear piece will be able to scale up to the level of 233, which is the level of PvP.

Talent Specs and You
Specializations in talent can be incredibly complicated, especially for those who are relatively new to the game. Even for us who have been around for a long time, there doesn't appear to be a definitive solution to "what's the most effective build for"_____________?" So we're going discuss talents in general terms , and then you can draw some conclusions.
Each character is equipped with three talent tabs. Each tab contains around 20-25 buttons. Each button represents the active or passive skills that your character has. Each level is awarded 1 point for each level , starting with 2 points for the level 10, which is an overall total of 61 points to use in these skill trees. The place you spend these points can have a major impact on the way you play your character. With nearly endless options to pick from, it can be a challenge to decide the best way to use your talent points. We'll shed some illumination on this right now.
All it boils down to is this: what do you prefer to play? This is the primary factor when it comes to deciding your tree of talents, and also how you distribute the points to each individual. Do you prefer fighting or healing? Do you prefer crowd control or tons of DPS? Do you prefer melee or ranged attacks? When you've gotten to know your character and the class you play, you'll have a better understanding of how everything fits together.
According to me, there are only two options to get the most from any building. It's a bit controversial, but here's the. It is best to take a full-time position on one tree, and then super-specialize in more than 41 points, or go with 30/31 on two different trees. It all depends on how players require you to contribute to regular instances, PVP battles, or raid groups. Let's take a look at these two possibilities.
To truly be the most effective healer or to be a great tank, you must attain at least 41 points in these trees. If your guild requires an super tank, you're going need to go for it, or choose that you'd rather let someone else take on the job. To maximize healing the 41st point is typically a "can't live without the skill." Try exploring on WoWhead and Thottbot and Google search to see the build that others are using within that tree. Alakhazam offers a list which you can see the breakdowns of the builds its members are using at Allakhazam.com: World of Warcraft as you can see from the list that most Druids (2.43 percent) utilize a 0/0/61-based build to restore. This is a good example of that if you want to build one tree correctly you'll need to spend the majority of the points you earn there. This list is great because it allows you to examine what other players are selecting.
Another excellent resource to look at build options if you're not an expert can be found on the WoW Wikki website. On the page for classes Class - WoWWiki Your guide to the World of Warcraft there is an option on the right-hand side of the screen that provides specific information and feedback on how players play the class, what builds they are using, and which models are best suited to PVP, PVE and raids.
After you've read the first idea and you've seen the first theory, let's look at another that could increase your value in general, particularly in DPS class and build. This page is titled: Guide: Hunter Talent DPS Analysis for v1.7 (WoW) World of Warcraft :: Allakhazam.com Someone was conducting the analysis on hunter DPS builds. The final result was quite interesting. In nearly all cases, the builds that had an allocation of 30/31 did more damage. This was due to synergies between talents. For those who have played Blizzard's previous blockbuster Diablo 2 are familiar with the concept, it's not utilized directly in WoW however this doesn't stop it from occurring.
On this page , we can see that a build of 0/21/30 was nearly identical in DPS to a build of 0/31/20 (this is an old blog post on Allakhazam prior to the expansion, so be patient my apologies). Blizzard is a master of balancing their game so that players don't overpower each the other, and that not a one build will last if it is able to outdo all other builds. This results in parity and diversity, which means that everyone is equaland can play the same game in various styles according to the circumstances.
You could also try the 31/30 model. Based on my experience, it is the case that two trees will have synergies between their talents at the 20-point level which means they strengthen each other. The most difficult part of this build is deciding on the 61st level. There is a amazing skill across all three trees you'll need to pick from for the final point. It's a difficult decision to make since it can have an enormous impact on the way you play.
Hunters, for instance, can choose BM/MM, with the final point being either bestial Wrath (big red cat) or the true shot aura. If he chooses MM/Survival, he'll be forced to choose between shot aura or Wyvern Sting. For BM/Surv, the option will be Wyvern or bestial wrath. The three skills can be useful, it'll depend on the way that player would like to play. I've mentioned before that few hunters are survival tree and not even one percent. However, I've seen the survival hunter make an impact in an extremely high-level run, with excellent dps, as his crit probability was about 29% when he used lethal shots mortal shots, lightning reflexes. He would unleash rapid fire and hit every 1.5 seconds, with a range of 1,400 - 1,800 It was absolutely insane. Additionally, he could chain trap in a frenzied manner and put a crowd into a stupor before the battle started with a wyvern sting. This means that from one toon, you could get twice the CC.
This is what you can expect from the 30/31 model, flexibility. It is possible to do several things really effectively for your group and not be restricted to only one thing. A 31/30 build is likely to be used primarily to build DPS builds, whereas the 41+ specialty could be more suited to healers and tanks. A great raid team requires two kinds of specializations of specializations: the highly-specialized and the flexible. I'm thinking of doing something completely out of the ordinary and play 31 survival / 30 mastery just to test my next hunter to test it out. Sleep a rogue for a while and let my cat run wild with the rogues. There's no more sneaky tactics for you Mr. Rogue. Enjoy the dots!
