Converting pieces to tier

Stats change and in some cases I lose vers when converting pieces to tier. Is this the normal expected path to lose out on vers but gain 2/4 piece bonuses?

ya the tier pieces all have diff stats, ur going to have to adjust ur build if u want to use tier pieces, prolly purpousely done to prevent over powered
, imagine like dev evoker with its tier set and it being all right stats, no other tier set in t he game would eb as beneficial as that one.

tbh the seperate gear sets is so retarded to balance, just make all gear usuable in pvp or pve and actually balance the classes, its such a lazy fix to add pvp only gear or gear that boost up in pvp, but at the same time, im shocked how unbalanced theclasses weere in pvp, even still to this day, so maybe they shouldnt touch anything , seem to be hacving enough trouble alread
