Legion PvP Preview & Changes
- Honor and Conquest currencies are gone!
- You now earn Honor Points to increase your Honor Level, granting access to more of the PvP talents, as well as Gold and Artifact Power.
- In PvP instances, you use a stat template for your class and spec, all of your gear is nullified other than the Artifact.
- Your average item level increases your stat template by a percentage, a 25 item level difference between two players results in a 2.5% difference in stats.
- These stat templates allow for better tuning, allowing the team to balance for PvP and PvE independently.
- The strongbox system worked well, so something similar is coming in Legion.
- You will earn gear from completing battlegrounds and arenas, with quality based on your rating for rated matches.
- There is no PvP specific gear, so the best players in both PvP and PvE content will be able to earn the best gear.
- The end-of-season PvP awards are given separately to the top percentages of players in each faction, instead of in relation to the overall player base.
- There will be shorter and more frequent PvP seasons.
- Resetting your Honor Level once you reach the cap gives you a Prestige Level.
- Earning Prestige Levels gives you a badge on your nameplate, unit frames, and scoreboards, as well as a title, wearable faction pennant, Artifact skin, a mount, and pet.
- Two new arena maps are being added.
