Gearing through PvP

LoL. I bought the aug kits. Then I bought 1 single cit augment, and I can't afford any more.

I also just realized exactly HOW MANY different armorings, and mods and enhancements there are. I was trying to estimate myself based on what I currently have, and then I found Trixie's spreadsheet. Jimminy H Chris bioware. *** were you thinking? Seriously? HUNDREDS of different mods and enhancements and armorings? If I hadn't seen some of them myself I would have assumed that was a spoof.

I've never really said this too seriously before, but bioware should 100% FIRE whoever came up with that as a good idea.

I was only curious about your renown rank to see how many times you had leveled it in PVP.
The amount of time it takes to gear through pvp is retarded and crafting is another mess. Beee Dubya designed it so we have to maximize our time on their game. From their perspective, i get it, but i don't have that kind of time to give this game. This game is an after thought to me. My sub is up soon and I'll have fun leveling some lowbies through pvp and i start back to work this next week so i'll be even more busy.

Right, I assumed that. Renown rank is probably a better way to gauge how much "time" was spent than actual days.

I have my sniper up to 75 RR i think, i've got some set bonus gear but my armor/mod/enhancements are all blue and green still.
I've had people tell me in WZs that i'm cancer because i'm not 306. I just LOL, it's regs for godsakes.

IKR, it’s a total joke and we told them it was on the pts before 6.0 was launched.

Yeah, I’ve heaps of armoring, it’s the enhancements that I find the hardest to get. I just did a clean out and had more hilts and barrels than I knew what to do with and just deconstructed 114 hilts/barrels taking up storage space.

I’ve just been using 228 augs as they give you the best bolster / credit / stat ratio.

Plus you are bolstered to 306 anyway. I mean, I guess it's not min/maxed 306, but really? Yeah, some people just need any excuse other than "I'm not as good as I thought" for why their team is losing.

ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN! Good gracious.

I'm sure I don't have the right enhancements and mods. I just have *something* that is 306 in there. I do find it (as has been said many times, by many of us) REALLY annoying that I'm sitting at 306 and still getting 292 gear drops in boxes. Eric flat out stated in one of his yellow posts that that would not happen. (He typed that once you got to a "color" tier, then you would no longer get things from the previous color.) *sigh* But we all know that. I suspect that the next gear change won't be to fix anything. It will be another major overhaul that makes us all start all over again, because that's what bioware always does.

Good to know, thanks! I think you said that in your gearing post probably, but I hadn't gotten around to really focusing on augs yet. I just realized that some of the accuracy I mentioned in a previous post is coming from an implant. So I have to hope I get a different (i.e. "correct") one of those at the 306 level soon. I'm trying to get all the slots filled out with correct gear piece first, and then I'll look at augs.

Amps I'm 99.999999999% sure I will never bother with at all.

I started a campaign to get this fixed on the pts and also in the gen section after 6.0 launch. I made many threads / post as did many other people. I made a thread in the bug section too.
It literally took 5 weeks, 5 threads on these forums and a reddit campaign till Owen (unofficial tech support) replied to one of our threads. He said it wasn’t even on the Devs bug board or a known issue. That was after at least a 100 posts by people over 5 weeks. At which point it was 100% obvious Musco wasn’t doing his job.
The very next day Musco made a thread in the bug section to ask us about the wrong gear dropping based on our toggle. And the only reason I think he made the thread is because Owen is part of Kieths raid group and told him that Musco had been ignoring us.
And to this day, Musco never went back to that thread to reply to any feed back he asked for. And it took 5 months till they addressed the wrong gear dropping (which still isn’t fixed properly). And not once have that admitted the lower gear lvl dropping in pvp is broken or bothered fixing it.

As much as I hate playing flash points because I only want to pvp, they really are the fastest and best way to gear up.
When 6.0 was released I pushed back against doing them because I only wanted to pvp. But I changed my approach when the drops were many Lvls below my gear rating.

The best way to do the Amps is to just keep ones with good amps as they drop, even if they aren’t for that class or spec.
Then when you get an item with the right amp you can swap it out.

The more flash point runs you can make, the more Armoring gear you can choose from. You don’t even need to do it for that class. I run my assassin through Red reaper flash points to grind gear for my other Alts because it’s fast. I can solo vet mode in 8 mins and 10-11min on MM (if I don’t die). With the help of my wife we can do veteran in 7 mins and MM in 8-9 mins.
Just one boss fight drops more gear than a pvp match. So if you wanted to, you could just kill the first Boss in 2-3 mins over and over. But the last boss gives the Armor or tactical drops and you get the flash point mission rewards too, so it’s best to just run the whole thing.

Yep, the silence in that thread is deafening.

I've posted before... I tried the flashpoint way when 6.0 dropped, and after a week or so I hated the game so much I uninstalled it. Just. Not. Worth. It. (to me)

So this time I just went with... just going to play the game I like and take whatever comes. And even that, I don't play that much anymore. Plus (not to take the thread on a tangent - but it's my thread so who cares ) - so many other cool things in the pipeline. Baldur's Gate 3 is looking AWESOME. Bloodlines 2 looks like it could be cool. Plus I just got a cool new hollow body electric guitar, which is waiting for me in my covid-quarantine spot for a few days until it's safe. So many other things to do instead of gearing through flashpoints.
