Gearing is trash in SL where is the PVE vendor?

We are entering the 5th mythic week of Castle Nathria and my main character raiding on a 7/10 mythic guild is packing one 226 item that someone passed me because they already had it, and one 226 that i got from the great vault. im obviously talking about the raid loot here, not considering dungeon loot, which i have some as well.

The guy that has the most gear in my guild has 7 pvp 226 items on his toon. Is this really how shadowlands will play out? Nobody using raid gear and packing full pvp 226 gear? This is a trash expansion if this is the case

We seriously need a pve vendor. Like right now

I’m 60 total bosses killed in Castle Nathria. Only 1 piece of loot.

Not complaining though. I actually don’t mind the gearing in SL. I prefer it. I DO agree we need a PVE vendor a la Wrath back in the game though…with ways to upgrade said gear.

I like the pace of gearing, but the PvP vendor is crazy OP and needs some looking at. If they don’t want to change it, yes a PvE vendor needs to be introduced.

I mean, for some classes this is the optimal way anyway. Classes that depends on versatility can pretty much hand pick the other stat instead of having to use whatever weak stat is on the raid pieces.

So basically you´re saying the gearing is trash and the vendor is the optimal solution, meaning you do agree with me

Crazy OP? PvP gear has been capped at ilvl 184 outside of time-gated conquest gear.

You can get the same stuff doing like LFR and mythic0

So wait which is better? Do I do pvp to gear for PvE or do I do PvE to gear for pvp I’m so confused I’ve read so many posts I can’t tell which is the way to go!

there´s absolutely no confusion. a vendor will always be a faster way to gear your toon. period

What do you think would be a PVE equivalent to earning gear that currently requires 2100 rating?

Not trolling, just legitimately asking.

I, personally, think they should do a justice quartermaster from M+, where you earn points based on keys to get gear that’s equivalent to drops but not the vault.

We’ve had vendors in the past and they worked just fine. Just make each pve difficulty drop its own badge. Not really rocket science. If i kill 10 bosses in mythic raid i get enough badges for one piece of gear. That way if i go trough the whole week and get nothing, at least i have the vendor consolation prize.

I don’t mind the loot frequency but I agree a pve vendor would be nice. They could even decrease random drops to compensate and just have bosses drop items that make sense like their own armor/weapons or in the case of non-humanoid bosses they could drop mats that crafters could make gear out of.

Hard to compare. All I know is that 1800 is pretty much free because I suck at PvP and was able to get it. After conquest cap this week the majority of my gear will be 220 PvP gear even though I spend the vast majority of my time in M+ and raids.

so many complaints regarding gearing this expansion and absolutely zero acknowledgement from blizzard that they even consider this an issue… sad

Why lie about loot though?

Yes, you have a total # of boss kills of 60… but no you didn’t receive only one piece of loot.

You are almost completely Heroic CN geared out with most pieces above +10 from keys.

Obviously you don’t need a PvE vendor when you’re as lucky as you are to be receiving that much loot.

60 boss kills in CN with 1 piece of loot. I didn’t say I hadn’t gotten loot elsewhere. I’m saying in CN I’ve gotten hardly anything. I wasn’t lying, you’re just too thirsty to get into an argument that you didn’t read correctly.

…I’m assuming you aren’t actually raiding with the members that are 7/10 if that’s the case or you arent bothering to do 1 +14, 4 +14s, and 10 +14s

Loot is still loot. You’re sitting here with almost completely full Heroic CN gear and 60 boss kills and you REALLY want us to believe that you’ve killed 60 bosses and only received 1 piece of loot total?

That is astronomically near to impossible to have happened just on a % of chance level, I do not agree that you’re being genuine.

getitng a dead onuse trinket that results in a 500-1000 dps loss is not getting loot calm down

I am calm, what are you referring to? :slight_smile:

Also, they changed their trinket. They have another 213 IL trinket besides the Ocarina, which still a useful trinket.

Just warrior puns mr angry orc
