just wondering if it's worth getting some BoA gear for my mains for when cata comes out. any help is appreciated, thank you! also, that new 5% exp bonus to that new ring... i've only heard about it from a few random sources, so i wanted to read about it. is there a caster and a melee version or what? anyway, thanks again for any information!

edit- sorry, by BoA gear... i just mean the shoulderpads/chest

I believe I read that it will NOT scale past 80, at least not at first.
Shadowlol of Vek'nilash
it should work

but things can change

Bornakk said they probably wont. But what do you expect? The gear says on it 1-80
Rororina of Daggerspine
All the BoA gear says levels 1-80.

They will not work past 80.

Yea they said they dont wont ways to rush pass leveling the first time, so if they are smart, they will just have a vendor at 85 that you can get new BoA gear from that you buy with the old gear + some gold.
Lucrissim of Dragonmaw
I remember a blue saying that BoA gear will only work for 1-80, and not past that. Who knows if that'll change though.
Lascero of Moon Guard
It's a generic version. All classes could make use of those stats (It adds Crit/Hit/Stamina if you were curious)

I imagine since they aren't going to scale past 80, the bonus will also not apply past 80.
Chanya of Argent Dawn
Blizzard wants the 5 next level to be done without BoA for when its just out.

But I think it logical they will make the BoA work for 81-85 later... when most people are done leveling to 85.... way later.

The thing I was wondering, maybe some of you have seen, how soon can we do a character change from what we are now to one of the new races? Say you wanted to change from orc rogue to goblin. Are they going to let you do that as soon as the game comes out or make people wait a while til new goblins have leveled a bit.

Bornakk says no.
Doranos of Firetree
They will probably make new BOA gear that can be purchased for level 85 badges/shards/etc. that last until level 85. I'm pretty sure the old stuff will remain 1-80.
