I just came back to WoW recently from Shadowlands and I’m just starting to realize I have some confusion about PvP gear.
Am I correct in assuming that instanced PvP gear (honor vendor and conquest vendor) does NOT scale in warmode? Also to clarify, I assume it doesn’t scale against PvE content in warmode, but what about PvP in warmode?
Also the hellbloom gear obtained from Malicia through tokens of strife… am I correct in those bonuses do NOT work in instanced PvP?
It scales in War Mode whenever you enter a PvP zone (such as a PvP WQ area) or whenever you’re attacked by another player. By default it won’t scale when you’re just doing PvE content out in open world, but should you be attacked by another player while doing said PvE content in open world, you’ll be scaled up.
Hellbloom gear set bonus half works. Only the 2 set bonus works in instanced PvP, the 4 set and 6 set does not. It still scales up in instanced PvP though regardless.
Awesome thank you! Most of the research I did was clear about what happens with PvE, but hard to get a definitive answer for when you get attacked.
