Why on earth would you guys take away the trinkets of PvP players in SL? basically requiring the use of PvP trinkets to effectively PvP?
Why not simply make it rings which no one cares about replacing as they don’t potentially have actives or procs? Want to use some darkmoon cards in PvP Man.
Or just make it an automatic stat change while in PvP areas???
Maybe I’m missing something from the recent blue post on a “PvP stat”
Because it’s in our best interest to cut down on or eliminate the need to PvE for the best PvP gear. Trinkets have historically been the biggest offenders.
Only for the throughput side, not the defensive side.
Beta testers are saying the PvP trinkets’ set bonus is only a small bump to your throughput.
That’s not a huge increase, and there’s no bonus to the defensive portion of Versa.
I guess we’ll see, but after BFA, I won’t be surprised if PvE trinkets have OP procs in PvP that provide a much larger bonus to your throughput or burst.
Is this read as “It increases versatility by 20%” IE a 20% increase to throughput.
Or is it read as “Increases your versatility score by 20%” IE it increases my 20% versatility by 4% (to 24%) for a 4% increase in throughput.
First seems insane, second… possibly underwhelming if trinkets in nathria come through without everyone’s good friend secret-pvp-scaling toning them down after you farm them up.
So assuming your stacking vers (u will be) It’s a 2% buff to that. But… we don’t have essences and traits giving the crazy vers buffs anymore
I’m not a PVP expert but that seems a bit lackluster.
I see where your going with this, and I agree, but why devalue a whole bunch of attainable gear, and all future attainable gear, when they can just buff the set bonus to be more comparable?
You are right to compare it to the Vers corruption, but a big part of why thats good because you can go insane with them for Defense, which this does not give.
WIth PVE gear being easier and faster to get better gear and with raid trinkets vastly outperforming PVP ones, PVE is still looking to be the best way to gear for PVP.
What I really want is WoD gearing back.
Why not add this vers amp to all the PVP gear? Why just trinkets?
Or…just have PvP gear scale to be 20% higher in overall stats compared to the average PvE gear of the current tier. maybe 10% better at max than the top level raiding gear.
Because thats literally what people wanted. PVP gear should hands down be the best pvp gear…
I don’t want to raid to pvp. I dont want to do keys to pvp. I want to level to max level. Chill with my friends. Do a bunch of profession stuff. And pvp all day, with pvp gear.
Last I read it was a 20% increase on your current stat level, which equated to like 2-3% increase. Basically trash, and any pve raid trinket combo will stomp them into dust
