Stupid question

[Grumble69]

<p>I haven't tried out BGs yet in a long while.  Do they still use gear with special stats like toughness?  i.e. do you still pretty much suck in PVE gear until you earn tokens to buy BG gear?</p>

<p>Yes, there is gear with toughness, but the most you can get with a full set of the best stuff (which takes an age to get) is probably only around 20%.  As things stand right now you can go in in heroic gear and be competitive.</p>

<p>There was a recent revamp of PVP. Toughness is still around with a similar effect, and a new stat (lethality) has been added which affects your PVP damage. Maybe it's just because the GU is only a few days old and people haven't geared up yet, but it seems that my PVE armor (a combination of SS faction/heroic/WL <span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469);">gear) has been just fine for my troub. I still get rolled by better skilled/geared players, but I feel like I can still kill just about anyone if things land right. I finally got an upgrade to my WL chest piece this morning and am excited to try it out.</span></p><p>The only way to see if you'll like it is to queue! BG's are pretty busy right now which makes it more fun. Best of luck!</p>
