PvE gear in PvP I'm tired of it.

[Fryday]

I played Defilemancer in a warfront with my pve gear. I ran around in circles tab targeting and throwing DoTs. I had second highest killing blows. What?

A good pyrodom is going to spot a mage with <6k health and destroy it.

The risk:reward for mages using pve vs pvp gear is not worth it. Your best advantages are going to be a few pve trinkets and pve mainhand w/ pvp offhand.

For me the problem is when
the players who are using PvE weapons can dodge/parry 3-5 of your GCD

but

you will never parry or dodge any of their attacks.

82 valor which they lose by equipping PvE weapons is no way close to 3-5 parry/dodge.

That PvE'rs even give a rats *** what gear we get, they did this in 1.3 when we had our gear upgraded, now they are doing it again.

If they want to ***** about our having usable hit on our pvp weapons, lets push for a new idea.

We get decent weapons for pvp, that have 65 hit, but pvp weapons have a pvp flag. This means said weapons have -65 hit, or 0 hit when used against mobs. Same thing with PVE weapons.. they get a PVE flag. Their 65 hit = -65 hit, or 0 hit when used against players. BAM, problem solved. No PVP weapons in the raids we don't want to go into anyway, and no PVE weapons ruining the pvp balance.

You CAN'T properly balance souls in pvp, when people are using PVE raid equipment in pvp.

How about this...

PvE armour / weapons / synergy crystals have minus valor on
PvP armour / weapons / synergy crystals have minus hit on them

This would make it detrimental to use PvE gear in warfronts or use PvP gear in raids, thereby compartmentalising the gear to its intended arena.

I'd be all for this, if hit was not a required mechanic for pvp.

I guess pve gear could all be -valor, and PVP could all be - toughness. That would be doable. -100 toughness on pvp weapons? Sure. A mob looks at you and you are critted.

You've never fought against Akylios, right?

I really think that just making another set of Relic gear and then creating a harder way to obtain it is far better than nerfing stats on both contents gear. I think just making it harder to obtain pvp gear to the point that being a dedicated pvper is the only way to obtain the highest tier of Relic pvp gear is best, just my opinion though.

That's not really how toughness works. -toughness on pvp weapons does nothing.

Come on PvP'ers keep this one up top, don't let the whining little OWS (occupy wall street entitlement) crowd keep theirs on the front page.

[Noctisx]

Just nerf AP/SP in PVP and fix vengeance up I say.

[Christopher666]

what if anyone that uses any pve gear in a WF get's instantly teleported to a pit with ithuziel and is forced to respawn there for 15 miinutes?
