Gearing for PvP sucks now

Am i the only one that is fed up with getting geared for pvp? I miss the days when you could grind out bgs and arenas and buy my gear from vendors and not have to do ANY PvE. Now a days that’s not the case. Best way (and almost the only way) to get geared enough to be competitive is run mythics and deal with all the PvE crybabies pointing fingers at each other, wipe after wipe. It makes no sense to my why they took this out. I was perfectly content not doing any PvE and enjoying my PvP. They need to bring back vendors.

PvP pretty much peaked in Wrath and got forgotten after Cataclysm. They treat it like flying. Something they’d rather everyone slowly forgot about.

Get max level, cap out on conquest, get 430 item pieces.

I’m wearing at least 5 pieces of this seasons set. It’s not hard, and you get a choice in gear when you hit the conquest cap of 500.

I get better gear from conquest now then LFR, and it’s slightly better item level then Benthic.

one of the biggest issues for pvp is that azerite traits don’t save per spec like your essences in your neck do when you change specializations. Blizzard should change this in 8.3. That way we only need 1 set for PVP. For mages, who want to play all 3 specs you can see why some players are pulling their hair out farming 3 sets of azerite.

player choice of gear for me is the biggest issue there is none.

More like get max level, do Mythic 0’s for item level 400 gear then fill your conquest bar and get 415 item level pieces.

I don’t have any pieces of this season’s set. It’s not worth the effort. And the choices mean nothing when the gear is low item level and you already have good pieces for those slots.

I get better gear from doing +9’s then I would capping conquest.

Not to mention, if you’re a new 120 you have to cap your conquest 10 times for a total of 5k conquest before you get your first 430 piece. They did increase how much conquest you get from rated PvP if you are very behind, but you’d be geared past needing conquest at all if you just do M+ in the same time it’d take you to cap that much conquest.

And capping conquest via rated PvP with no gear would be terrible too, if you can even find partners.

I quite doing casual PvP battle grounds in my spare time because of the BfA gearing system. I would like to have PvP vendors again were I can work towards individual pieces of gear.

The last time I ask for pvp gear ( 5.2 patch ) I got banned for 72 hours . It does no good to cry about not having pvp gear . I cried and got kicked right in the nuts .

Because Ion is a literal god-tier game dev and knows that we pvpers cannot find the vendors.

It was for the best, my friend.

Call it spite … but I think it’s pretty hilarious that you have to grind out our content to compete in yours. Why do I think it’s so funny? Because for decades your side of the game has utterly butchered ours. I know, it’s Blizzard’s fault for not separating the two sides like they should have from the jump. Still. Ha ha!

No. Seriously. They need to separate the two sides and let PvP players gear up in their activity.

Does it ever upgrade? My stuff is still weak.

I got a couple pieces but they’re lower ilvl than mythic + runs.

I don’t get how it works. Better ilvl for higher arena rank or something?

For the conquest cap, the first 9 times you cap it gives you a 415 item. From the 10th cap on, it’s 430. No way to increase the item level on that, although rating does improve the item in your chest on Tuesday.

Ah ok. I usually cap it on weeks i play thanks to battle for nazjatar, invasions, against overwhelming odds, and call to arms, but the rewards just seem weak.

I might be doing it wrong.

You know I love pvp as much as the next person, but every time I qued for a match someone was complaining about classes needing nerfed, and Bliz would be like Okay and grant the wish which caused pve to suffer.

So yea screw hardcore pvp you guys all you do is ruin pve about time you got your share of Karma.
