My whole gearing strategy was not buying anything for weeks/months and trying to maximize the value of vault drops as much as possible. Eventually, I’d save up enough conquest points to buy everything in one go. I’d be behind others gear-wise for a while, but I was decreasing the amount of conquest I had to farm.
Under the new system, if there are no random drops, I won’t save up 6k+ conquest points anymore. I’ll just spend them as I earn them.
I do something similar. It’s to minimize the likeliness of getting screwed by vault. You also finish gearing faster.
This coming season, as long as crafted gear is still BiS, and knowing that we’ll get the crafting tokens from vault at some point, I don’t plan on really taking gear from vault at all.
I mean no. Overall the vault isn’t well received by pvp only players. It always them to be able to implement PvP set bonuses and I would bet we don’t see a catalyst again, at least not in the form we see it now. If PvP was on the back burner BG Blitz wouldn’t be coming and a whole new BG. Ion even said PvP a ton of times during his deep dive. May not seem like a lot but usually PvP isn’t even mentioned during these things. Seems like at least an effort on their part.
Little salty. Just pointing things out that I noticed. But the BG and removing the vault for PvP were good moves to start. But like I said at the end of my last statement, as always time will tell.
Well this sucks, PVP loses a chance to get tier sets, gems, rolling speed, etc from vault and now only get 1 charge every 2 weeks to change to tier… while PVE gets threes ways delves, PVE drops, and tier catalyst every week to our 1 in every 2 weeks…
Tertiaries are disabled and we don’t know how gems will work. Catalyst will likely continue to exist for conq>tier unless they do away with tier in pvp entirely.
Shift away from rng vault loot to more conquest is excellent.
