Highsis Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 My understanding is: 1. there are two types of PvP gear 2. you buy WZ gear with WZ comms, and buy Ranked gears with Ranked comms + WZ gear piece. 3. then why are there so many different gears sold by a vendor of each class? I have stored max WZ comm and many ranked comm, and is about to reach max level as sith assassin. What should I buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheaterLL Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) 1&2: You are correct. 3: What role do you play? Tank? DPS? They have completely different gear stats. What spec are you? Darkness? Deception? Madness (or whatever it is called now)? They all have different stat priority and set bonus. Darkness is for tanks, so high endurance, defense, shield, absorb. Deception and Madness are for DPS, so crit, surge, power. For details you should look for a guide at the assassin forum or dulfy.net. Edit: Sorcerers also have gear for several roles.

Assassin Madness is now Hatred, just FYI. OP: There are now 2, 4 and 6 piece set bonuses, and only one is going to be viable for your spec (exceptions might be uncovered, but most likely). So for the basic set, buy full Stalker for Deception etc (you should be able to tell which bonuses apply to your spec). I don't think there are any gear/stat guides for 3.0 yet, but it shouldn't take long before they're made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phalczen Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I play hatred assassin DPS. BTW, what is set piece bonuses and the number 2,4,6 mean? It means that you get the described bonuses applied to your character's abilities when you equip 2,4,6 pieces of the set. It is designed to encourage you to wear all of the gear from a particular set. The more pieces from a set you wear, the better the bonus will be. If you wear all 7 pieces of armor from a set, you'll gain the all the bonuses listed under the 2,4, and 6 categories. On an unrelated note, are the pve and pvp set bonuses identical for all classes now? They appear to be so for heals consulars and tank guardians.

Reckon I'll be doing a bit of digging for info on heavy armour sets for PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that set bonuses for PvE only come on gear tokens dropped in ops. Comm gear will not have set bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
