PvP vs PvE gear

[Ichinoez]

So how much will expertise actually do in PvP?

for example a Rakata Earpiece which has these stats

 

103 - Strenght

85 - Endurance

51 - Accuracy

44 - Crit

 

VS.

 

Centurion Earpiece

 

56 - Strenght (As you can see almost half str compared to rakata)

64 - Endurance

39 - Expertise

40 - Accuracy

40 - Crit

 

To me it seems like Rakata will be better even tho the lack of expertise.. Now any of you guys know how much expertise will do and if it's worth it

 

Also how is Rakata gear vs Champion in PvP?

Rakata v top tier pvp works about even based on figures I've seen on the BH boards.

 

 

Rakata has about a 20% stat increase over the top tier pvp stuff which when translated to actual dmg output and defense works out roughly even with the % bonus that expertise off a full pvp set gives.

 

 

The key difference is the PVP set bonus' and what they can do for you in PVP.

 

 

Rakata v any of the lower tier pvp sets then rakata pretty much smashes them.

Comparing Rakata to centurion gear is like comparing tier 3 gear with tier 1. They arent comparable. Try Battlemaster vs Rakata

 

As for the strength thing, im sure it is there to make sure people are going for PvP gear for PvP and no PvE, else the only difference in gear would be Expertise, and PvP gear is easier to obtain than relying on 3-15 other people to get better gear.
