That just starts the cycle over again though unfortunately. The best will have the new tier while everyone else will be getting WH and the new tier geared people roll the lesser geared people.

Here is my issue with the geared players playing ranked. It is limited to a group of 8. I would put all my credits on the line to say that most full WH PvPers grinded their gear doing regulars either alone or with a select few friends. it is tough to find a full group of 8 outside of primtime (or sometimes during primetime) to queue up. Secondly, since there are limited groups that can scrape together 8 well geared players to be competitive, the queues are crazy long. Who wants to sit and wait when we can slowly have fun grinding out regular coms. I think the root of the problem is the fact that it is limited to a full premade 8 man team. My suggestion would be to not open it up to free solo queing (that would be a mess) but to allow 2 groups of 4 to be paired together. That would keep the integrity of the competition by forcing a 4 man team to queue and it would keep out the random solo recruit gear queuers. And just for reference I am a full WH sentinel with both Elite WH weapons at 76 valor.

For the sentinel gear I was happy with the increase in damage on the weapon but not happy that I had to swap around mods because of the different stats. But overall, I am happy with the new MH and looking forward to getting the OH. My main gripe is that most sentinels went with the Vindicators MH for their War Hero purchase. If you look at the stats of the Elite War Hero sabers, the power one is actually the Weaponmaster saber BUT OF COURSE you need to trade in the WH counterpart so if you have the Vindicators WH MH you can only get the Vindicators Elite WH MH. Its just bad planning and design.
