We are probably talking just a few points better at most, I think. As I wrote, Bioware don't seem to want uber geared players in WZs 1 shoting fesh 50s, so the Bioware idea of BiS is you farm the WH gear, take the mods out and place into some orange pieces, and hey presto you have a BiS by 1-2 points in a stat.
May the farce be with you

So if it doesn't make a difference then have fun wearing your ranked WH gear because it makes you look better than other players.

I feel ya, I personally will be using the ranked War hero gear because I refuse to look like a bum off the street in level 10 gear. But, I do think they should have augment slots as well so everything matches...since they want "everyting to be equal"

You can pull mods out of any gear. ANY GEAR

So you get your war hero stuff and put it on critted oranges for an augment slot. How is this crazy, or do you not understand it?
It doesn't matter.

You need to look at the gear you are getting from PvP (or PvE) as the mods. You are getting the barrel/armoring, mod and enhancement as the real gear. What you put them in will ultimately be whatever look makes you happy.

Well yeah, anyone as in there's no valor requirements.

on PTS at the moment war hero gear has a purchase price of ranked WZ comms and the equivalent battlemaster piece.

So one needs to do regular WZs to get the comms for their BM stuff, then do a bunch of rated WZs to get the special ranked WZ comms to buy the war hero gear with.


Then RANKED war hero gear requires turning in regular war hero gear + more ranked WZ comms (this is just for looks)

It really is fail, they want to give everyone customization options but they actually just took it away.

High ranked pvp gear (warhero) should have augments in it. What if i liked the way it looked? doesnt matter, go look like a level 10 noob instead, its better.

fail logic
Yes they took it away...because on Live right now there's a TON of different looking players. Oh that's right, EVERYONE looks the same within their respective classes.


And they are adding a ton of orange items in 1.2 as well as the ability to re-engineer epic items to crit craft them into oranges.

Xinraka -- I like you dude. But no offense, but I don't believe you when you say you don't care about ego. Why else would you be on version 5 of your PvP videos within a month span of time. You care what people think about you AND your skill level. And guess what, there's NOTHING wrong with that.


Rated gear is a BONUS--just like valor from here on out (btw there will be mounts/title associated with that stuff).
Your ELO ranking will show how good you are--and that can't be disputed.

I know, I understand that. I'm simply saying for "equal footing" the War Hero stuff should have augments too. But who knows, who cares, I'm going to play anyway sooooooo lol
