441+ gear is super unfair in open world war mode pvp

and its dumb and very unfun

plz fix this

u know u can by making gear have an actual pvp stat (don’t remove versatility its fine)

plz get real and stop bein this way

i shouldnt need to farm M+ for openworld pvp gear

and if u want me to play RSS LOL hahahahahahahaha no it’s like 60 minutes a queue + u lose even if ur a good player and win some rounds

if u want to make conquest gear be from normal bg/openworld pvp again im cool with that

Idk 441 pve gear doesn’t seem that good when pvp gear can go 447/450

I’d be all for them adding resilience back and letting secondaries be secondaries again.

honor gear and the scalewarden doesn’t scale up in openworld only the trinkets do

hope this helps

also u cannot catalyze the crafted gear at the catalyst even tho u use a spark and the pvp conquest thing on it which is also really bad

only in bgs and arena, except trinkets

You can add a 450 pvp ilvl to spark gear using a reagent available on the conquest vendor.

only good in arena not warmode lawl

Wait what?

The warmode gear…, specifically for warmode… doesn’t scale up in pvp combat???

I was like 99% sure all of it scales up when you enter pvp combat even in open world.

If you are talking about farming pve mobs in warmode without engaging in pvp combat then ya

It doesn’t scale for world PvE, but the stats should adjust when you enter combat with another player.

I am making this post and typing this as i repeatedly get smashed even tho I am 419 ilvl with full tier and 24% versa and both pvp trinkets + the 5% hp bonus + the scalewarden vers bonus

it’s really dumb lol i’m not having a good time in the open world pvp objectives in warmode and I don’t want to farm M+ for a month to get max vers gear at 441+

no do i have the capacity to sit there and grind conquest (still bad a lot of pvpers will agree this is a neckbreaking grind for conquest gear + rating)

It is

Loot a warbox for 60 conquest
Queue wintergrasp and kill 10 npcs for 200
Win regular, unrated bgs, epic bgs and brawls for daily conquest bonus
Pick up unrated pvp quest for conquest bonus every week
Turn in sparks every week for 447 wpvp gear that can catalyst to tier

You don’t need to do rated pvp to gear

This is why I ignore the existence of Warmode. It’s just not fun to me. :frowning:

it doesn’t appear too so far i am getting wrecked in it hard even when i wear more

my toon says pvp item lvl 445 and i know i’m not bad at pvp i was winning last week and the week before i noticed as more and more pvE’ers get pvE gear towards max tho i’m not doing as well

It is when it’s balanced and u aren’t in greens compared to everyone else I really enjoy warmode it’s sad to see it die every patch and become this stupid grind for gear instead of doing fun pvp objectives

This. :point_up:

If it doesn’t, then that changed recently.

Imagine thinking War Mode is ever intended to be fair. Just toggle it off if it’s a problem.

What they need to do is normalize ppl in warmode vs player damage so that if you are ilvl 450 u get less dmg in warmode vs a player in ilvl 420 and vice versa that 420 does an equivilent amount so it should even out

the other option is to make it so u can have a real pvp stats again and that is all that matters not ilvl

it is fair in that u can grind 394 hours of M+ to compete in it or 900 hours of rated arenas butt for regular old open world scrubs like me it is not


The scaling does not work in open world only arenas and bgs

cuz I absolutely stomp in arenas and bgs in my pvp set FYI

Is your gear equipped

Pvp gear scales up when you get attacked by a player in warmode
You can test the hp increase by turning on warmode and hitting the pvp dummy in Valdrakken

If your hp is not increasing when a player attacks you, and you have scalewarden or obsidian gear equipped, then send a bug report to blizzard

Ok it did work, I dont’ see a buff lol

my hp just dropped down to 387k from 586k while afking in Dragonscale Base Camp.

It seems buggy to me tho.

Also I made a 433 robe with my shadowflame and inginuity crest that says it scales to 450 yet i can’t catalyze this thing into tier :frowning:

WHICH REALLY MAKES ME SAD

They mean the green crafted pvp gear.

You cannot convert crafted gear into tier gear.
