Zoom_VI Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 not even remotely true. it's incredibly easy to go into a WZ with 170+ pve gear and get no appreciable expertise. incredibly easy to not wear the right gear. you either already know, know somebody who knows, or you're reading the forums, at which point you'd be in the minority that "already know." entering WZs atm with pve gear is very gimmicky. "no appreciable expertise" is still better than them vendoring the recruit gear and going in with 0 expertise. Also 170 PvE isn't all that bad, 178s are around 1800 expertise if I recall correctly. It's the 198+ that gets you into trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom_VI Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 yes. it does scale. if you want dummy proof, you give full exp and nerf pve gear from there. huh? I wasn't asking about scaling nor was I asking about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxmob Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) huh? I wasn't asking about scaling nor was I asking about anything. the ongoing conversation is bolster vs. recruit gear. bolster's advantage is that it's supposedly idiot-proof (which was your point a few posts ago). I'm simply saying that bolster could be idiot proof, but it's not. it's pointlessly convoluted. the yes. it does scale part was just me agreeing with you.

Sure bolster isn't idiot proof, but it is idiot resistant. Recruit gear on the other had is completely defenseless against idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you stop them from queuing without it. But it has other downsides. You'd have to make it orange so that you can pull mods and augment.
