My boosted 70 comes with level 424 gear is it worth purchasing the honor gear? I have enough but just wondering, I mainly PVP of course.
Totes ma’goats, it’s worth the honor gear, bloody token/trophy gear, and conquest. It all makes your sunfire warm the enemy up a little faster.

Is this a serious question?
I’ve seen boosted players in my BGs and wonder how they’re having fun
W/o PvP gear, you’re massively underpowered. PvP gear scales to enhanced item levels in PvP. Try to get conquest gear as soon as you can, while using Honor gear as a stop gap.
The Elite Bloody Token gear is good too
Blitz is the best way to play until you’re in full honor gear. It scales you to 476 item level. No other PvP mode does.

I’m on my 6th or 7th pvp gear out now. Honor gear is currently extremely useless. You can get the entire set and put the most expensive enchants and embellishments in the game on it and you’ll still get hit for more than your entire health pool from anything ranged in less than the blink of an eye… it is quite literally as good as the whites you are wearing at level 1. Completely pointless. Honor can be acquired through rated content twice as fast as bgs or any other form of pvp. The honor can be used to purchase trophies on the other side of the room which will give you gear literally 5 times better. You can aquire this gear at nearly an identical rate to honor if you win a handful of matches and do the pvp quests. Spending honor on anything from an honor vendor of any kind is an absolute waste of your time. Literally 100% pointless.

Ya just ignore this guy, anyone who says “this gear is useless cause you still get 1 shot by xyz” can be disregarded. You don’t go from getting 1 shot in honor gear to god mode in wpvp gear.
Is honor gear better than 424 boosted gear? Yes absolutely. Buying the trophies is going to be extremely expensive, and I would work on your world pvp quest for trophies every week so you don’t get behind. Doing that stupid quest is the equivalent of 28,000 honor, if you get behind on your quest you’ll have to spend that amount of honor to catch up

what are you talking about? its like 15k honor for a set of honor gear that you WILL absolutely be one shot in…it takes a fair amount of effort to collect that in any form of instanced pvp…the replacements. from spending the same time, sold in the same room, for doing the same amount of work…are literally 5 times better…every single one of my 7 70s has had a full honor set just because i am always capped when i ding and i know i can just get more in less than a week so i just buy the honor sets…every single one of them got one shotted in bgs, arenas, wpvp and any other form of content outside of questing. honor gear is completely and totally useless…hunters are critting in wpvp for a million…full honor set puts you around 6-700k hp…do that math. and yes…the difference is absolutely immeadiately that noticeable…with two or three peices of conquest gear and the two peice from hellbloom which you can get from one quest you will literally be stronger than a person in full honor gear. and…youll never even have to look at the honor vendor. im sorry but your flat out wrong here
lmao, no I’m not. I don’t take what you’re saying serious because you’ve done it “7 times”.
Getting wpvp gear isn’t the same amount of effort put in, that’s just wrong. 3500 honor for one trophy could buy you multiple pieces of honor gear. And that’s just for one trophy, you can’t buy multiple pieces of wpvp gear for one trophy, you need multiple
It’s what, 11k honor for a full set of honor gear including jewely and trinkets. Spending the same amount on trophies will get you…exactly nothing. You’re right! Same amount of work for sure, excellent investment
Are literally not 5 time better. Not sure you know how gearing works in this game but 10 ilvl does not = 5 times better LOL
I did, full wpvp gear wouldn’t put you over this made up 1 million damage hit either. So how is that “5 times better”
Ah but that’s not what was asked and that’s not what you said. So now you’re mixing conquest and wpvp gear to inflate your argument to appear correct? We’re comparing honor gear to the hellbloom gear. Your response was skip honor gear and go straight to the hellbloom gear. How is a fresh boosted player supposed to get 140k honor to buy all the trophies that were missed? Your recommendation on how to gear is awful
Also, what you’re comparing is “two or three peices of conquest gear and the two peice from hellbloom” with the rest being 424 gear
OR
two or three peices of conquest gear and the rest honor gear
2nd option wins out 100%

that was a lot of effort to say absolutely nothing
the question was should i spend my honor on honor gear…the answer is no…i highly doubt anyone would disagree with me when you can get trophies from a quest…11 k honor gets you almost 4…thats 12 on your first day. with the remaining honor and saving it by next week youll have your conquest capped and you can get the rest of the hellbloom to end up having eventually both 4 piece bonuses…if you dump off all that honor on gear youll replace in literally an hour…its a complete and total waste of the honor…
Conquest gear has the highest ilvl for PVE, 454 and can be upgraded to 476ilvl.
Then it’s the Epic World PVP gear, that start at 450 and can be upgraded to 463ilvl.
Then regular world pvp gear I think can go up to 450ilvl.
then Honor gear that start at 415 and ends at 437ilvl.
Ideally you would wait for conquest gear if you want to PVE in your PVP gear.
By your logic you don’t buy any gear until you have full conquest because you’ll replace it all in the end anyway. Why even by hellbloom gear? Waste of effort doing that!
You do the wpvp quest, buy you piece if you want, then fill out the rest with honor gear. You don’t ignore the honor gear part and sit in 424 boosted gear lol. You’re gonna need the jewelry/trinkets anyway as hellbloom gear doesn’t offer that. Then while you’re farming you have gear 10ilvl less than what you’re working toward and can still craft those conquest pieces you spoke of, then you can slowly start working towards buying your trophies.
10ilvl is not 5 times weaker, your argument is a literal joke. Hunters don’t hit for 1 million, that’s an exaggerated made up number. It’s really hard to take someone seriously who just wants to be carried to get gear instead of have fun and participate

lmao…you die in the exact same amount of time as you do in boosted gear as you do honor gear though…it isnt even an upgrade. a person in full honor gear is no different than a person who quite literally just dinged 70…were 4 weeks into then season… honor gear is quest greens man…its useless…bgs award honor…if you win like 1000 honor in a bg and dump it on a piece that doesnt benefit you at all you have definelty indeed wasted it. when you could have just saved it…youre gonna get deleted anyway why spend hours and hours pouring honor into gear that isnt even up to par with some low level mythic stuff. its honestly just silly. hunters arent hitting for a million?..dude, theres videos all over youtube…dks critting for 600k…300k evis…honor gear aint squat against that and if its only 7 days to get to pieces that are literally lightyears better…why would anyone in their right mind waste all those resources just to see absolutely zero difference in gameplay from honor gear to no honor gear…honor gear is for extremely casual players who feel they have something to work for. it makes absolutely zero differnce against anyone in more than 2 pieces of conquest gear.
I guess you just don’t know how gear works? You still think that going from 476ilvl to 486 is going to make all the difference. It’s about 10%. 10% is going to take you from getting 1 shot by a million damage hit to…still getting 1 shot by a million damage hit. Even in full hellbloom gear, your jewelry is going to be 424 and you’ll still be sub million HP buffed…and still getting 1 shot.
These million damage hits don’t exist from hunters without massive modifiers like someone holding a flag/orb for a very long time. You’re just exaggerating to make yourself seem right.
I could easily drop all my gear to honor gear and survive in BGs just fine. I do it everytime I level an alt, and I definitely don’t just get 1 shot by everyone who looks at me.
i guess we can just agree to disagree…but when im at the vendor buying my 4th hellbloom piece and your still runnin bgs for green rings we can see what the charts say. shrugs…thanks for the conversation.
If you’re buying your 4th hellbloom piece you’d have 4 hellbloom pieces and the rest boosted gear. Meanwhile I’d be in my 3rd hellbloom piece and the rest in honor gear. All for the same amount of time spent, simple math eludes you lmao
I’d outgear you, outdamage/heal you and be jumping in circles on your body
You need to use more defensive and CC. There’s a way to survive. Don’t under estimate 13ilvl is a lot of Stam and Main stats.
you cannot be serious man…theres literally like 1000 point jumps in base stats from honor to epic hellbloom…youre out of your mind.
in regular bgs all df gear scales to 450 and in the blitz brawl it scales to 472.
not the best and of course still below honor gear but everyone is basically in last season’s conquest gear no matter what.
im literally standing at the vendor right now…from the honor weapon alone switching to the hellbloom weapon is almost 1000 int and 800 stam on my priest…would give me 200 more haste and 70 more vers…the base stats on honor gear are literally a SELFNERF from boosted gear…man…im sorry but you just…seriously got mislead somewhere.
Yes, that’s a random number you just created, congrats. I can only assume you don’t mean 1000 point jump per individual piece, because that’s definitely not true. And if you mean overall sure, lets say 1000 points. When you factor in the extra stam, main stat, secondary stats, armor from that gear and get that extra 1000 points…10 ilvl will be about 10% player power. This isn’t my theory or my opinion, this has been a generally accepted view on ilvl, specifically smaller upgrades like 10 ilvl. 1 ilvl = approx 1% increase in stats.
