Does PvP gear scale when in all PvP combat? Or do LFR PvE players have a 45 ilvl advantage in non-instanced PvP combat over people who solely PvP?
Or people who do mythic raids outgearing top rated Arena and RBG players in WPvP, etc.

Pvp gear scales
You buy conquest gear and it scales to 424 in arena and bg
Honor gear scales to 411
You can upgrade pvp gear to be better in pve butits rating locked. Better your rating higher you can upgrade for pve via honor
I know it scales inside of instanced Battlegrounds and instanced Arenas etc. But does it scale when in PvP outside of those? Like in World PvP?
I think it does because there is a world pvp set. Drake breaker or w/e
Thank you thats what I’m trying to find out, the tooltip only says BGs and Arenas. They could have just said “scales in pvp combat”. I would just like to confirm this.
Googling a bit seems to indicate it scales when you engage in pvp. Otherwise it defaults to pve so not to be op’d in world content compared to pve ppl
Ok thank you, I remember a few xpacs ago that wasnt the case. I will put my pitchfork away.

Pvp gear scales in warmode

I know what the OP is asking, when fighting open world mobs even with war mode enabled you’re at whatever regular ilvl you normally see. With base PvP gear from vendor it’s like 343 or whatever… as soon as you engage a player in open world… your hp etc all goes up to your PvP ilvl value… I got in trouble early on engaging “low hp” players only to realize their hp jumped as soon as I tagged them.
Yeah i do kind of wish if you were flagged with PVP enabled it would just set you to your pvp item level. It’s not like you’re going to run into non-flagged players in the world. Also given the item level jump up it’s not going to be crazy since you’re just mostly stacking versatility. They could always just increase the HP of all mobs in warmode by like 10%, similar to when multiple people tag rare elites and their HP scales up.
New Xpack same old BS, how many years have the PvP players complain but ya blizzard is listening
for bis yes, if you look at the top pvp rankers they all have 2pc of pve gear for the set bonus
You can get tier from pvp that will scale up to 424 ilvl in pvp combat. You need to fill your great vault pvp slots for a chance at pvp tier.
this crafted gear scales up to 398 in PvP - you don’t get that high from LFR.

You can get the tier set bonus on PVP gear that scales. But right now you can only get it from the great vault.
On the 24th you will be able to convert pieces with the Inspiration Catalyst.
The 2 pc bonus they’re talking about is the storms gear, +340 secondary stat is nothing to laugh at
These would all make engaging in instance pvp mandatory if you wanna do anything efficiently in WM open world. We’re already penalized when engaging in combat with a player that does, now the PvE elements would be disadvantageous as well, unless you’re doing really high PvE content.
People act like this hasn’t been the case since wrath
