I hope it’s a gear issue but boy oh boy do I get owned in PvP. I literally explode lol. I do have only 25k hp and 19% vers facing guys with 32k hp min. I really hope it’s a gear issue which I’ll assume it is because from my understanding warriors are in a good spot. For now though it’s so painful.

Yep it sucks. Some people think it’s a learn to play issue. Nope, gear matters so much right now, it’s incredible.

hmm if you get $100 to spend then you can purchase BOE to ilv 190ish then farm some conquest to get ilvl 200. If not then probably you need to slow it down a bit. Conquest cap is almost 4k this week which is 2 rings + neck + trinket + cape + bracer + wrist. Then world boss + weekly vault for two weeks and hope for weapon + chest/legs then you are geared.
And yeah wow is definitely now something you can finish gearing in one day but I personally kinda like it. Probably because I am old and that is how wow used to be. But with this style, once you are geared you pump on people which feels good XD

It sucks that there is absolutely no scaling anymore (and I don’t mean I want hidden scaling back). In other xpacs you didn’t just straight up lose to M+ people doing their DPS rotation just because they have 220 gear. Part of it is PvP-specific stats but other systems could work.
With that said though, gearing is so much better now than BFA. SO MUCH BETTER. It’s pretty great to be honest. You could barely play an alt last season. I have 4 some what geared characters already in SL. Best part is, most of the gearing is done by actually doing PvP, not by spamming PvE content (even if it means being a bit behind for the first few weeks).

Ya at least gearing doesn’t take long. I didn’t even attempt doing 2s for the vault this past week mainly because of those morons that always say “you have a 25% win rate in 2s. You are bad” lol. Actually 25% would hav even high 
Getting 4k conquest without already having gear seems like a total pain, unless you are getting carried (in rbgs or 3s).
Once I get the 197 honor gear and my LEGO I’ll prob do rated arenas or maybe yolo RBGs. I’ll still be like 20-30 ilvl lower than everyone else but I’m hoping they aren’t still at 0 rating lol
well when pvp had templates everyone complained so 
I feel like it’s the same kind of complaints as people wishing for old talent trees back. “Let me be suboptimal!”
This is an alt.
100% pvp gear from just casually playing.
I dont care about rating, raiding, m+, nothing.
I’ve skipped multiple weeks of torghast because I just don’t care to do it.
This is hands down the easiest gearing an alt has been in years, and you can do it by just doing BG’s.
As a healing class, I just yolo’d RBG’s. As a warrior, it may be a little bit of a slower process.

Not everyone plays the game like their full time job.
You don’t even care for your lego?
For my alt, not very much.
That’s the point. I hardly play my Shaman at all and he’s 210.
Our definitions of “hardly playing” must be different. My alt rogue is 204 as of vault upgrades today and I’ve been playing him a good deal.
Yeah I guess so. I did 2 RBG’s this week, and some 2 and 3s with some friends who just came back.
I full geared a WW through honor only, and it was awful for a while. WW without gear is the most omegaLul thing in the game. Similar to your experience but dies even faster and damage is harder to get out.
Know your feels though. Evaporating to cleave and trying to find some way to be useful… anyway, a few weeks later, my monk is 202 ilvl and it definitely feels fine. Like its well above average in a BG now and can definitely 1v1 just about anything. At a disadvantage in arena, but it can be made up for.
You’ll be okay if you can suffer through grinding out full 197 and maxing your conq. You won’t be super powerful, but youll feel strong enough if that makes sense
Ya I’m hoping with 197 and my lego I can at least win some rated 2s. May hav to find a holy Pally healer though lol
You might not like your rating but youll be able to win games for sure
Play lots of skirms inbetween bgs. It really helps. at 197 you should be able to somewhat keep up against damage right now even with those in the 33k hp range. although it’ll be rough. my monk is still around 180~ but able to keep up if im quick.
