Does gear matter in PvP before 50?

The title pretty much says it all. I was under the impression gear did not matter in PvP before level 50. Recently, I have read a few things that imply it does. Can anyone clarify this for me?

 

Thanks!

Not as much no. Either you stack your dominant class stat, or endurance and even that's going to be of minimal impact as all players are scaled to 49.

 

PVP stats don't appear on gear until you hit 50.

Yes, yes it does...Bolster scales stats/gear to level 49. A fully geared level 10 with blues and purps can put out more damage than a true level 49 who is only in greens or missing a few gear slots.

 

A level 15 in gear that is for levels 13-15 is going to be much better off gear wise than a level 40 in gear for a level 30 as a further example. Sure you are still missing several skills, but the over all stat increase from Bolster will be greater as it is based on your current level and gear and how that would translate to being a level 49.

Actually, you can get expertise on weapons pre-50
