Gear progression is a core facet of MMORPG’s.
Sounds like a skill issue to me.

At this point, I’m convinced that people who make threads like this are either trolling or have no historical context on how PvP gearing has worked in this game so let me fill you in.
A “no gear progression” system was attempted a few expansions back (Legion) and it was immediately removed in the following expansion because you know why? It failed, people hated it. People like being able to progress and upgrade their character. And not only that, most serious PvP’ers didn’t enjoy having to raid or do Mythic+ in order to progress/be competitive. And I can guarantee you that PvE’ers wouldn’t like it if it were the other way around.
If you want to just sit in a lobby, press play, and be on par with everyone without having to do some form of grinding, this isn’t the type of game for that.

PvP templates were so bad. Like, I get it, being behind sucks, but too bad. You want the best stuff, work a little bit. It’s really not that hard.

You should learn how to contextually read something. Its not about the grind of getting gear. That is somewhat fun and challenging. The point is, that damage is so high and burst damage is out of control what is the point now about even farming the gear. Survivability is so short due to the high burst amounts that is the context of the post.
Shrug it is what it is make the most of it by adaptation.
If you can’t have fun in the moment probably better to find another hobby

Your thread is literally titled "Whats the point of PVP gear"
This is contradictory.
Higher health pool and damage reduction. You are right you can get nuked near instantly regardless of gear but it’s on you to anticipate when it’s coming and to try not to get caught in a vulnerable situation. Easier said than done for some classes but In non rated pvp and in the open world you can get a variety of consumes to make up the difference if you play a class that’s weak defensively.

This is the correct answer - you just don’t want it to be the correct answer.

It actually is a skill issue.
Especially if your mains a druid they have insane self survivability
Lol. lmao even.
This isn’t Cata/MoP druid.
They’re losing most of their survival cds in midnight too.
Self healing still garbage. Renewal gone. Double frenzy from heart of the wild is gone.

Must be confusing Guardian to all the other specs…all these trolls dont even understand the context of the actual post…these must be the people talking in trade chat…lol…oh yeah its a skill issue in BG’s…lol
Lots of classes are losing their survival cds next expansion.
Good riddance.
I’ve seen zero outright removals from anyone other than Druid. Maybe you’re talking about redesigns but most of the ones I’ve seen weren’t necessarily survival cds.
Yeah classes losing the ability to keep themselves alive and turning into pin cushions with some of the more (at this early stage) over-developed specs/classes like Warrior and pally is definitely good for the game.
When classes with no healing tree out heal classes with an actual healing tree its a huge problem…survivability and mobility for druid was neutralized long ago because all the mages cried about druids getting out of roots so easily…Self healing was nerfed yet again in this expansion…and yea it is getting nerfed in midnight for mainly just Druids
You haven’t really been paying attention then I guess. Arms warrior has to choose between Die by the Sword or Ignore Pain. All priests lose Void Shift, Symbol of Hope. Holy loses Divine Ascension. Shadow loses Psychic Horror. Shamans lose Stone Bulwark Totem, Earthen Wall Totem. Mages lose Shifting Power. DKs lose Sacrificial Pact. etc etc.
Thats just off the top of my head. Im sure there’s more too lmao.
I believe they’re making everyone more dependent on healers, which isn’t that bad. Burst damage is going down, and they’re heading in a consistent damage direction.
True. It kind of spells doom if you enjoy playing solo on certain specs, if they’re trying to turn PvP into healer roulette.
