Whats the gearing meta for week 1

PVP Arenas
1

so no vault anymore and a quest for a wep on week 3
whats the new meme
what do I do week 1 anyone know

2

  • Do 100 sparks quest (plus some additional wPvP to total 1225 bloody tokens)
    buy a 700 piece and a 525 piece

  • Win 3-5 rated games (this earns 9 free crafting tokens which lets you craft conquest gear)
    (you can also utilize embellishments either here or on the blue crafting version via honor)
    (most pvpers are probably gonna default to the 750 vers when above 80% health x2 initially)

  • Cap 1600 conquest (875 piece + 700 piece typically 1 being your first tier piece via catalyst)

  • Get 1600cr and choose your free tier piece to make your 2 set

  • Spam queue to earn honor to get your sockets

Thank you for thinking so I don’t have to, now I’ll go back to doing mediocre damage.

Is there a meta for which slots to make crafted gear?
I think in DF people usually had boots and head crafted with embellishments and then 4 tier - chest hands legs shoulders
Do you know if this matters at all?

it really depends; in df you were locked into boots for the sephuz effect
there’s more freedom here so it’s really your choice for the most part

there’s a weapon specific embellishment that feels very good but it’s hard to say if it’s better for everyone
like something that isn’t going to go below 80% health because they’re typically playing with a warlock will probably get more mileage out of the standard vers option than the weapon enchant which cycles random stats in a progressing amount constantly

Tbh it’s a little too early to tell what’s “optimal” between crafting a weapon with embelishments vs crafting other pieces. Weapon will for sure be better weak 1, for sure be weaker week 3, but at “full gear” you’ll be +/- a piece or 2.

I’ve just been qing everything in honor gear with no enchants because I’m cheap and it hasn’t been an issue so far. XD

Have you tried the weapon enchants that do damage? Wearing 2x r2 lightning enchant and it was doing 6-8% of my overall on dh. 500k+ hits.

Where is the NPC/process to acquire sockets?

***EDIT - found it, how did I miss this, ugh.
