Duplicate embellishments do work in pvp, and some aren't pvp nerfed

PVP Arenas

i still have no idea what to build besides the cc stat bonus one

x2 Silken Lining embellishment

+260 mastery 424 ilvl (pve baseline, outside of pvp)
+380 mastery 450 ilvl pvp
+506 mastery 450 ilvl pvp x2 (chest and ring)
+261 mastery 424 ilvl (pve baseline, outside of pvp x2 chest, ring)
+760 mastery 424 ilvl (pve baseline right after exiting arena, outside of pvp x2 chest, ring)

the tooltip is insanely buggy BUT the total gear mastery while in arena (450ilvl secondary stat values, it changes when outside of pvp) confirms +760 mastery (+380 mastery x2 @450 ilvl) was added. so values from both do work, just have to enter and exit pve/pvp environments to fix the tooltip

  • if you upgrade ur conquest gear with honor (not the embel craf gear) it will bug out the mastery buff even tho embel crafted gear wasn’t upgraded. to fix it just unequip and requip the embels

  • lower reagent quality doesn’t affect the 450 ilvl primary/secondary stat values, just the pve base ilvl. basically it’s the same stats in pvp regardless so dont waste gold on higher quality reagents

I hear (read: have not personally confirmed) that the cloak is still contributing a decent amount of defense at its current level. I also made gear with the gathering storm embellishment and it is exceedingly mediocre.

was thinking about that, precog, or blue silken lining for the ring to choose ring secondary stats

how much dmg does it do and how often/%?

I honestly made mine out of a combination of curiosity and a hope they’ll buff or redesign it, but I would 100% legitimately have no second embellishment over the gathering storm one. Doing less than 1% of my damage breakdown… like, come on

Precog seems ok depending on what you’re playing. I ran into a windwalker the other day who had it :dracthyr_crylaugh:

If you can make use of precog (some hybrids), it’s prob the second best melee embellishment as well.

For most melee, there isn’t a good second one, it doesn’t matter.

For plate dps if you’re looking at just raw damage added its prob still the bleed Helm. It’s entirely possible they change gathering storm or buff it eventually, because right now it is beyond terrible.

Gathering storm is like 1% of my damage across like 15 arena matches. Its not a big sample size but i feel like its enough to know it sucks

how much are the dmg ticks? how many in a game?

100% the only reason I didn’t just recraft mine was because I was being unnecessarily picky about the secondaries

Can also confirm on this one too, it’s pretty bad lmao.

i got some outside vs pvp numbers with Silken Lining embellishment (it’s not nerfed in pvp)

+260 mastery 424 ilvl (pve baseline, outside of pvp)
+380 mastery 450 ilvl pvp
+506 mastery 450 ilvl pvp x2 (chest and ring)
+261 mastery 424 ilvl (pve baseline, outside of pvp x2 chest, ring)
+760 mastery 424 ilvl (pve baseline right after exiting arena, outside of pvp x2 chest, ring)

the tooltip is insanely buggy BUT the total gear mastery while in arena (450ilvl secondary stat values, it changes when outside of pvp) confirms +760 mastery (+380 mastery x2 @450 ilvl) was added. so values from both do work, just have to enter and exit pve/pvp environments to fix the tooltip
