Item budget is weird and crazy. Seriously. It's actually worlds better than it used to be, but still needs to be a lot more clear so people can understand it. Blizzard is bad at getting some really core information like that across.
Why does my ilvl 476 honor pvp gear have more pvp power on it than my 493 ilvl conquest gear? PvP power is getting a nerf next patch but I don't understand some of the decisions being made this expansion gear-wise.
Gearing is supposed to make you STRONGER. PvP gear has been getting nerfs by ilvl and through other means every season so far this expansion, and pvp power was supposed to compensate for pvp nerfs...but with pvp power being nerfed, resilience being taken away and ilvls reduced yet again...and from what I understand also a ilvl cap in pvp that is supposed to compensate for the ilvl changes...what the hell is going on with pvp gear this entire expansion? Because I am really confused at this point.
There actually is a blog (maybe three) for that! The pvp power on honor gear from both last season and this one was raised to lessen the gear gap between honor and conquest gear, as was stamina on this season's honor gear. Blizzard felt the gear gaps were just too significant.
Going from honor gear to conquest gear does cause you to lose a very small amount of pvp power and resilience, but conquest gear is still a significant upgrade.
What exactly is there to decide?
