Very evident lol… So many posts “bring back resilience/power”. It happens and everyone shakes their head “nah, cant be”

I feel it shows they must be thinking about giving us our own PvP gear progression again, which is going to be awesome if it happens.

So instead of farming 1 set of gear from pve type content, we need to farm 2 sets of gear, 1 from pve and another from pvp sounds like more crap to carry around

Nah i agree imho pvp is harder because humanbeing are not pretadiable or however you spell it vs a ai.

Will be very interesting to see how it plays out. Vendors w/o pvp stats or a WoD scaling system would have been useless and wed have the same problem with PvE gear that we do now.
Hopefully they open up PvP testing in the near future.
Didn’t it fail in SoO? , I remember pvp players getting completely trashed in MoP during end game by higher geared characters even with pvp power
oh stop with this

I could say you are wrong but get this…when I saw PvP vendors my mind shot to us getting PvP gear and then ‘oh wait no it’s PvE gear’. Now it’s ‘oh wait it’s a PvP stat’ and in my mind I am already gearing up in mah new PvP epics! 
I’ll likely just be disappointed again, hang it up next to all the other disappointments I’ve collected over the expansions, which 100% validates your comment.
I reminber seeing people geared half pvp and half pve was the way to go in mop for best of both worlds.Also only the best pvp well geared even standed a chance vs a mythic geared player ext.
Hey you never know you might get disappointed in a whole new way! (:

I make my own reality. I’ll see it when I believe it!
I seem to remember PvP power being a way to keep people from gearing via PvP by giving sub par gear with PvP stats. Though high end PvEers were still able to reach the same damage level just by virtue of having much better gear. I hope Blizzard doesn’t go down this path again.

MoP pvp power is back?
hmmm I’m not sure how I feel about it yet… let me see if this is actually happening or not.
If they do it right, it would be amazing.
PvP gear has stam + PvP Power (more dmg to players) + PvP Resilience (less dmg from players). Those are the ONLY stats on PvP gear.
PvE gear has stam + agi / str / int / etc. Those stats have no bearing on the damage you do to players or the damage you take from players.
PvP gear is really bad for PvE.
PvE gear is really bad for PvP.
PvP gear can only be obtained by PvP. The best gear for PvP needs to be from PvP - none of the “full set of PvP gear + PvE weapon = BiS” crap that they did have.
PvE gear can only be obtained by doing PvE. None of the “Oh, just do some BGs for higher ilvl gear and you’ll be good for heroic raiding”.

This is greatest news ever. PVP power is what pvp needed. Keep gear different between PVE and PVP to represent the player commitment to the content. While at it but pvp teir back into the game.
And this seems like a good idea, i get PvP could use more gear,
But to make it where PvE gear isnt effective in a pvp setting would just make BGs not worth queing up for.

We already have multiple sets though.
Raid ST, AoE, Dungeon slice, PvP
Most of us have over half our bags full of gear so no diff there
What it does do is not force PvP players to do pve and visa versa

Random BGs would give you PvP gear, which would boost your PvP effectiveness. Those interested in PvP would start here (like starting with normal and heroic dungeons).
Skill not withstanding, someone who is a PvP god, decked out in all BiS PvP gear should be able to do the equivalent damage in PvE as someone in normal mode raiding gear. Conversely, someone in full BiS Mythic raiding gear / M+ gear should do the equivalent damage in PvP as someone in full random BG gear.
If they want to progress further in PvP or PvE, they need to partake in that game type.

So will it replace stats on gear? Otherwise pvp gear will be ok for pve and pvp
