Gear equalization killed pvp

The people arguing for gear imbalance don’t like to admit it, but its mostly coming from eternal 1,8k people malding that they can’t be a bg/wpvp hero with a gearadvantage anymore.

They are looking for an exterior factor to make up for their inability to learn, nothing more.

Sometimes specs are broken by design not just overtuned but yeah. Would help to fix some of the issues.

Design issues is another level of problem that no automated script will fix…sadly)

This, this man said it.
1000% agree.

Some irony here, you’re super happy with the game that you’re not playing it anymore.

Also stop saying you want equal gear. If you wanted that you’d be asking for templates, not what we have now. The same people here saying they hate gear difference like going into random BGs and killing undergeared people with their max conquest gear. If unrated conquest gear started 3 ilevels above honor gear like in SL there would be less gear disparity.

I was happy in season 1 when I reached higher ratings. I’m just not interested inwaiting 30 min for 1 lobby anymore. And playing as a healer is horrible.

Lots of people did like templates but you couldn’t change stats and that is bad since it forces each spec into a certain style.

And lol trying ot suggest SL had better disparity between gear…

We dont want boosting back, sorry… Oh, did you really think we forgot about it?

The FOTM thing is more a case of the game being old enough that everyone and their granny has a double set of classes at max level or previous x-pacs max level.

So what fo you want exactly kiddo? That gigher ppl have better gear again and glad r1 boosters farm u with there 10 ilvl more?

Man, people would go bonkers. And rightly so, this isn’t CoD, gear progression is important for an MMORPG.

Conquest is liquid gold.

the essence of a great tree carefully extracted to preserve its purity.

it shines in your hands like stardust in a dusk sky.

and yet, its hard to obtain as per blizzard’s grand painful design.

thats actually a good thing, cuz balance is a joke right now and only way to counter joke of a balance is by making reroll much easier , making the game not alt friendly for sake of people not switch to FOTM will killed the game and players will quit and wait for next big patch with pvp reset instead

its like playing a gamble game at start of the season if you bet your money say in boomkin then 2 weeks later boomy got nerf to C tier then you wasted all the progression and will have to start from 0 again, except no vault rewards nor token of strife with the new character and no 1600 rating token and you won’t have 2 tier set bonus like other luckly classes who didn’t get hit with bat nerf

Another dumb Vinzora thread, nothing to see here folks, move along.

You’ve taken 1 + 1 and come up with 11 here.

Shadowlands just sold A LOT more copies than DF initially. Shadowlands also quickly massacred a lot of people’s interest in wow too which is one of the reasons DF sold so poorly.

DF season 1 was pretty active with PvP. Lots of PvP across all brackets and ratings. Lots of people enjoying alts too and keeping BGs active as well as arena.

DF season 2 does feel extremely dead but I feel this has more to do with queue times, healers not wanting to play and blizzard suddenly becoming much slower in their PvP patching cycles.

You can get the sparks from PvP mate. I literally haven’t done a single m+ or raid in dragonflight and have crafted 450 gear on my characters.

You just need to do one of the PvP weeklies each week to get a spark. Combine 2 and boom!

Not what i had in mind, For example I want sporecloak as it is best Embelishment for everyone due to passive deff pretty much but i have to craft PVE gear with my sparks instead Because I play PVE too. Like i already Have Two embelished items 450 in pvp but Theese are less ideal and lacking. Shadowflame spark You get only 1 every 2 weeks, and if i waste it on Sporecloak i would be behind on PVE gear. This should not be a thing, Embelishments should be disabled in instanced pvp, same for tier sets. Same problem here, I need to catalyst PVE items first, then PVP after.

I don’t agree that sets should be disabled. There should be a separate PvP set that is designed around PvP playstyle for classes so we avoid situations like current R Shaman set. The only scenario where I can see it work is when you play Shadowplay and place is on SP or Warlock that is trained.

Regarding Sporecloak I don’t think it’s worth to be crafted now. It’s not only nerfed by 50% in PvP but it seems there was another secret nerf. I’d craft it on anything to deal with Sub Rogue comps that will pop up once Rogues get their sets (yes Sub has the best set in the game). For now I’d craft the other damage option. For example Mail boots as Shamans get plenty of benefit from them (just Purge/Interrupt every 30 sec and you get plenty of free stats = more dmg and healing from Surges and Totems) and maybe the item boosting your dmg when you’re slowed as Enha gets peeled a lot. Sporecloak imo is good but situational and only into few teams.

all i hear is skill issue PTUH

WoD PvP Gear worked exactly like this and people loved it back then, Honor Gear scaled to 710 while Conquest scaled to 730. Guess what after WoD they changed Gearing every expansion, just to come back to the WoD Gearing System.
