Does buying under-50 pvp gears help at all?

Bolster covers my stats already, does it not? I have too many WZC and I don't wanna bother storing it, and pvp gears under level 50 sees nice if they do give me any advantage over trash items I use with bolter. Does anyoen know for sure?

No, it does not help, as far as IO know, or at least people here insisted so. I have often read the phrase that buying gear with Competence on it below level 55 would rather hurt than help - because of the Bolster System. Somehow.

 

Because I'm not into game mechanics ( I'm rather into social mechanics ), I can't judge that.

 

But some items look nice.

The low level "pvp gear" doesn't have expertise, so no problem with bolster. It's mainly gear for warzone coms, but

you'll be swimming in those before you can change them to ranked coms anyway, so you can just as well buy nice looking orange gear or earpieces and implants from the PVP vendors on Coruscant/Dromund Kaas (which are the best you can get at the level you can buy them and quite some time after)

 

You can use the refund timer to stack lots of warzone coms (just refund them before the 2 hours are over), but this really only works out when you're close to valor 40 or level this toon only by PVP.
