Does nerfing it instead of disabling it even matter though? It’s not like you lose out on anything by using them in the first place, and they’ll still be BiS for PvP even if they’re not healing for the absurd amounts they were.
i agree but I dont think gamebreaking gear from pve thats only good in pvp should even exist. Makes 0 sense. Like I don’t want of the gear in crucible for PVE
Obviously needing to rely on PvE items for PvP is terrible design, but it’s really bad that they nerfed only Plate classes, (and I guess Feral and Survival?), as Plate classes aren’t really overpreforming, overall, and sort of needed the items to be competetive. Of course DKs are doing great, but Warriors and Rets aren’t doing nearly as good, by comparison.
It’s still a caster meta, and their items have remained completely unnerfed.
Trinkets were always ridiculous when allowed,
in bc you pretty much had to have that one SSC trinket that was like on use critical strike for meele dps or whatever, or healers had to have the magisters terrace vial that was like a 5k heal when bottled up.
wod had a bunch of ridiculous trinkets.
I think trinkets are good in the game, but just delete all these absorb ones.
Huh? Only ret is mediocre on plate classes. But trident/gloves/diamond makes warriors unkillable.
All PvE defensive trinkets/gear should be disabled in arena or nerfed 80%. The only thing that should exist is maybe the PvE healer trinkets at reduced effectiveness. But making sure casters can’t use them either.
Also giving PvP trinkets a 10% damage bonus for equipping two of them would be great.
This is pretty confusing. Why would they not nerf all of the stuff that needs it? They must really want to their PvE babies to have “fun” (i.e. abuse broken PvE items) in PvP.
I can clearly visualize Ion explaining this in a Q & A: “Well we want these items to feel special, and for the player to be excited they got them. Where absolutely needed we try to tone some effects down, but we still want players to be excited to go out and try that new piece of gear they got in PvP.”
