PvE sets vs PvP sets after TG patch

ClassicIX · April 2016

So I've been looking at the new sets added for both PvE and PvP, as well as, the old sets the bumped up to v16 this patch. With this said I like how they made the PvP sets only come in the best 4 traits, but what about the other gear sets. you Can't get any of the other gear sets with inpen. I play PvP more than PvE so inpen is a must. I don't understand why I can't, find for example, find hircine or darkstride with inpen, every other trait but inpen. at v16 exploration is useless can we please see some inpen on the PvE gear. I find that now I can only use PvP dropped sets and crafted sets if I want to stay tanky. No one wants well fitted gear or exploration. I'm personally a stam dk so running a set like hricine or darkstride would be amazing if I could have it inpen, but with the separation this game has on PvE to PvP is being done in the wrong fashion. Mixing around traits and making gear sets drop more often in PvP doesn't fix the balance between the different sets. My own personal opinion but I'd really like to see an update so that some of the better PvE sets can be used in PvP as well.

I recommend looking closer at the sets you can buy with tel var. There are more than a few hidden gems that people completely over look. For instance the powerful assault is the stamina version of spell power cure. Only comes in inpen unless you buy the random lock box. Also the vet 14 trial gear while two levels below max have set bonus' that when gold allow me to achieve higher hitting numbers than a v16 hundings or briar set do. They just have to blend with your play style.

There are so many other options and armor combinations out there that floor people in seconds because of this delusion that certain sets are the only way to go. This pushes people to defensively build for one or two yet no one tries simply because a well known steamer or someone says this or that. Find a Stan set that looks questionable, Mic it with another one and experiment. You may find to your surprise that certain things compliment other things better than it looks on paper. I love test crafting and I respec multiple times a day experimenting so if you ever want to throw ideas been and forth give me a shout

I understand this^ still doesn't mean to take inpen off every single PvE set in the game leaving just the few pvp sets. Plus no one runs around with powerful assault. I play small group and solo so that set is useless to me. Just simply stating I think it's wrong to completely take a trait away from PvE gear because mobs can't Crit. What I've I want to use it in pvp? You can get pvp sets in infused and divines best in slot traits why can't I get inpen on some of the good PvE sets so I can pvp without getting hit by 8k ambush and 13k SA from nightblades or 15k frags from sorcs? You need inpen to play pvp and without inpen on PvE sets I'm forced to run crafted or the new TG pvp dropped sets. Thank you ZENIMAX.
