Ok. My thoughts. Gear matters very little in that PvP takes skill and class over gear. Gearing does make survivability a little easier but good playing will do that too. As will healers that can cast without trouble. So by and large it's still relatively even. However I have had the unfortunate luck to go up against a fully augmented 242 Merc who was skilled and armed to the teeth. He was a tank. There was no damaging him. He wiped the floor with our carcasses. We knew from the moment the 4v4 loaded him that we were going to lose in our 230s. Luckily it lasted just long enough to get cxp

 

I can say first hand that my dirthy fighting Gunslinger has had major increase in performance just from going from a 228 barrel to a 240, the rest of the gear going up to 240/236 helped, but the barrel increased her damage significantly. It is not a small amount. An equal skilled player with 242s will win over an equal skilled player in 230s -every- time. The gear matters more than you think.

There is significantly more gain from going from 230s to 240. The difference between 240 and 242 is negligible at best, it's only real benefit is in health.

Yes, they are formed from salt water but in the freezing process most of the salt falls back into the ocean. Which is why they are composed mostly of fresh water.

 

But are you really really sure? I mean, are you sure ice caps aren't just hardened snow?

Makes sense. Salt water is dark. If the Ice caps were just frozen salt water the Ice cap wouldn't be white.

If you freeze orange juice the color doesn't change, right? heh

Its made of both.

 

" Salt water will freeze at around 28 degrees Fahrenheit. After frozen, over a long period of time, the salt leeches out of the ice. In addition, precipitation accumulates on the salt ice as well. So the northern polar cap is made up of a combination fresh water ice and briny ice.

 

The south pole is on land, but the surrounding waters are cold enough so that the above applies. On land glaciers at the South pole are all fresh water glaciers built up over millennium by precipitation"
