The New Battle Levelling
Since the changes to battle levelling, has anyone analysed wearing your current level sets, when scaling gives you a decent return, or a poor return between 10 and V16?

mcurley✭✭✭You may want to reword this mess of a sentence for more clarity.
It's a good idea to not let your gear's level lag your hero's level too much. I've been crafting armor every 6 levels for non-vet PvP and it's been just fine.
Some people will tell you that you can't compete unless you make purple gear every 2 levels... these people are wrong.
As far as vet PvP goes... I can't help you.For the Covenant!Svvord - magicka NBLavv - magicka DKPovver - stamina NBPsylint - stamina NBYelruc - magicka Sorc0 -

Confirmed, this is what I do too. I can see why new weapons every two levels could be useful, but it doesn't seem that i lose much more than 10%-15% being six levels behind on gear in non-vet... don't got time for crafting every two levels!As far as vet PvP goes... I can't help you.
I'd recommend the two-level rule in vet, max of three (unless you have a great dropped set that makes up for it). The difference is a bit more noticeable there, probably due to much harder mobs and smarter/better-geared opponents.
When you hit v16 and still have your v15 gear, and lose battle levelling, that's when the pain really begins

Just returned to playing ESO, rushed to grind up to V16 and noticed this. Wonder if I would have had higher damage staying at V14 with gold gear?
I suppose I'll stop leveling future alts around V12. Some great sets at that level.

Spliffo✭✭✭✭Being 6 lvls above my gear I dropped 500 weapon damage on my stam blade, gear was lvl34 player lvl40. It's well worth crafting every 2-4 lvls if you can0
