New to pvp, need advice on hilts/mods/enhancements to purchase


Recommended Posts

I've been keeping tabs on the large bolster thread, and I just want to make sure I don't waste any creds on the wrong item modifications. I have zero old pvp gear as all I usually do is play through the different class stories then unsub for a bit. This time I'd like to try to get into the pvp scene. I have a carnage Mara and an arsenal merc that I'd like to play on. I know the carnage mara needs a good amount of alacrity, but am unsure how many alacrity augments or implants I need to buy. Do I use any alacrity enhancements or just stick to adept?

 

Any suggestions on what gear to look into so I can be reasonably geared when jumping into the 70 pvp scene?

 

Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!

Get some alts, farm some catalysts, and have crafters make you a set of 240 gear. If you can get someone to give you their crits, then you would need about 40-50 catalysts to get your mods and enhancements sorted. You can farm that in 2 weeks time if you got 3-4 70's.

 

And if you have some credits leftover, you can also buy this gear straight from the GTN for about 5M a Hilt/Mod/etc.

Not even sure how to go about farming those catalysts...

 

Was hoping to get some info like "you'll need this many alacrity enhancements/augs and this many adept mods/enhancements to hit the crit/alacrity standards to not be a total pvp scrub"

 

But if you can give more info about catalyst farming I would certainly look into it. Thanks!

You get them for weeklies, and a chance on them for dailies. If you play some alts you can farm them rather quickly.

 

Anyway, Crit and Surge are now 1 and the same. So you got some room left to get a little Accuracy, or Alacrity at your own discretion. Its all pretty simple now though. Mastery replaced the old Willpower/Aim and other mainstats so you can pretty much use the same gear on all characters.
