Crafted gear and embellishments for PVP

Hello,

What are you guys crafting?

  1. Ring/neck can no longer have all possible embellishments, only just a few (bad ones?)
  2. The best stuff (such as precog) is now gems
  3. All new embellishments seem kind of bad/mid

Is the added versa above 80% health the new meta?

Cheers

has there been any mention of crafted pvp boots and helm with the new season starting?

Oh, like sephuz boots? I don’t know. Most embellishments are just slight variations of 1% more dmg so just pick whichever one doesn’t have crit, you can always recraft later as we’re no longer gated by sparks.

What does this mean? Sparks can be earned with no weekly cap or ?

No unfortunately :frowning: if they existed it would be a much easier choice

In Dragonflight we’d get a spark every other week allowing for us to cook up a custom piece of gear.

Now we only have to buy heraldries, which are similar to DF trophies, which upgrade crafted pieces to PvP ilev (honor or conquest).

I mean they shouldn’t be required for crafting PVP stuff at all.

This also means you’re fine to cook up stuff for PVE on the same char without negatively impacting PvP power like in DF where you basically had to choose. Similar thing with the vault (which is now gone for pvp).

You have to buy the heraldry that requires multiple stacks in order to craft things. You’ve seen it when you open your bags and get the green heraldry you use to craft the crafted green set. You can buy the blue ones that are 626 ilvl and epic ones that are 639 ilvl come next tuesday.

Kind of funny how they did the naming thing in DF where there’s the bi-weekly sparks for crafting and spark quest for wpvp, then the trophy from wpvp and trophy for upgrading crafted pieces to conq ilev.

I see. Looks like we need to buy with conquest (175):

The costs for each slot in the comments for the item seem wonky though. 4 for creating a chest piece=700 conquest so it’s less than an actual chest piece, but then you need 5 for boots which=875? I must be missing something.

Slot **
Head 4
Head (Engineers only) 5
Neck 3
Shoulder 4
Back 3
Chest 4
Wrist 3
Hands 4
Waist 4
Legs 5
Feet 5
Finger 3
2H Weapon 10
1H Weapon 5
Off-Hand / Shield 4
Trinket - Medallion 3
Trinket - Insignia or Emblem 5

edit: I think the comment is just wrong. I looked up a pair of boots and it cost 4 not 5.

It’s time to ascend and become a female LFD as well to stack that death benefit

I was wondering myself. As a warrior I saw the new boots that had speed buff. I wonder what the actual % speed boost it totals out to be? Anyone know the total %?

you talking about the sanctified steps? I haven’t tested how high or fast they stack or buff lasts yet, im assuming by reading them, that the buff resets once it reaches max and explodes?

Yea.

The shield looked really good for Prot too :smiley:

well the movement speed on the boots is a chance to stack, up to 10x, ~50 movement speed per stack, so thats less than 1% speed per stack, and you wont have high/max stacks for long, so it seems pretty negligible, i guess some speed is worth more than none?

also don’t know if that speed will work in arena, since if its not a upgraded pvp item, i dont think subliminal stats work in rated pvp?

Tertiary stats don’t work in Arena on gear. (although they should) All Tertiary enchants do work though. The embelishments also should all work.

Yea it’s kinda nice and synergizes with Prot theme to shield your team mates. Demo shout reducing damage by 30% for team mates and mountain thane Intervene giving a magic absorb shield 3 times armor. Prot could really make your team very durable.

pretty sure they still worked if it was rolled as an upgrade on a vault piece of pvp gear, no?

Don’t believe so at least that is what I heard. So that way RNG didn’t mean you won and had an advantage. Which again, having an advantage is the point of gear based PvP. I digress.
