Yes, the tier bonuses work in instanced PVP content.

No, PvE can be ignored.

What about wpvp set bonus?

The stun shield doesn’t. Unsure if the tiny bit of vers does.

Yes pvp players are shafted by the current tier system. Our only path to tier is the catalyst which only comes out toward the end of the season. And ones it’s out it still takes a month to get tier. Pvp is shafted big time. No idea why pvp doesn’t have a path to tier…

They probably didn’t want PvEers to feel compelled to participate in PvP in order to get all their tier pieces as quickly as possible.

No one cares about that. Still no excuse for pvp not to have a path to tier. They either must disable tier for pvp, bring the catalyst sooner (like 2 weeks after season launch), or give pvp a path. I’m down for just disabling tier in pvp as that is better than the nonsense we have now

Catalyst is out right now.

Yeah I wish they had introduced it sooner, why they didn’t just unlock the Catalyst week 1 of the season is beyond me.

Also pre-Catalyst you could get PvP tier from the vault, was subject to RNGesus of course but it was possible.

Incorrect. You can get tier from vault.

None of them do.

You should honestly be able to Buy Tier from conquest vendor however the Ilvl outside of arenas should be LOWER than LFR ilvl so it doesn’t effect PVE at all unless somebody REALLY wants set bonus

really cool that you can just do way more pressure than others of the same spec and skill if you happened to get the right vault stuff lol

why werent the tier pieces offered from the vendor from conception? the catalyst should be reserved for pve.

exact reason pvp items should never be RNG, ever.

Yeah that would be even better.

Since they seem to be stuck on this catalyst concept tho at least let it be available week 1. Or disable tier in PvP till it comes out or something. Having RNG vault decide who gets to have tier for so long is not a good system.

this is very typical of blizzard, they recycle everything into “new” content even when it was wildly unpopular and never asked for by the community.

i know the pve crowd did love the option to take m+ gear and play with set bonuses but this wasnt something that anyone in pvp thought was a fun concept, and now we see this again in DF.

They should just do PvP specific tier sets, that are bought with conquest from the vendor. Like it used to be, and it worked well.

If they don’t want to put the developer time into making PvP specific sets they should just disable the raid set in rated PvP IMO. That would be the cleanest way to deal with it I think.

They are making a nightmare for themselves with balancing, trying to balance the same tier bonus’s for raid, dungeons and PvP.

Yeah they really needed to do PVP specific to your sets and not this horse something or another that they did with just giving us the PVE set bonuses and making this an incredibly unbalanced game
