So, you think that having cross server pvp will keep you from getting smashed in recruit gear? The only thing that will prevent you from going through the "recruit gear initiation" is not pvping. Cross server pvp may only bring more of the same. They might even be more geared. Be careful what you wish for.

Let's see. 1. You're getting better with practice, level and gear. 2. The F2P players are hitting WZ's and don't know their heads from their...you know. 3. Both 1 & 2. Oh, and your a sniper so you can stun and knockback at will, stay in one place and 2 shot people.

The set bonuses will not be available if I went that route, correct?

As stated in the title, is it possible to farm battlemaster gear on my 50 and send it to my alt? That way, when my alt hits 50...boom...instant BM. I have level 39 legacy if that matters. Thanks in advance.

If you're under 40 valor, use your comms to stock up on medpacs and adrenals. Once you hit 40 valor, use your comms to stockpile rated warzone comms. IMO, don't waste comms on lvl 20 or 40 "pvp" gear because it's not pvp gear. You'll do just fine with your custom gear.

I am a hardcore Republic pvp'er. I kill red on sight...........if I'm in the mood. If I'm out in PVE, it's for a reason whether dailies, leveling, w/e. If I see a call for help, I'll look at the location and, if I'm close, I'll go (as long as it's not 5 lowbies against a WH 50). If it's too far away, sorry about your luck...oh look, a scavenging node...
