Sup Folks. Took a bit of a break, but i'm back now! Seeing how i19 has dropped I wanted to know what effect the incarnate slot is having on pvp thus far, and if there were any type of changes made to pvp itself.


Oh, and no worries, I'll be back in the zones getting my "plink plink plink" on as soon as I respec. =P

everyone has an escape power now and tactics...the incarnate stuff not sure yet on pvp need to see the effects with dr.

I'm not thinking that the incarnates are going to help much. Not too bad right now, but later on it's going to bork the already screwed balance.

Dont expect the devs to do anything if it does.

Got AS'd a few times last night for about 1400 dmg on a fully io'd regin. The crits were 777...

Well, they're all nice.

Thing is, PvP IOs grant a serious edge, but aren't the do-all, end-all. People with standard rare sets can still compete and win.

A few months down the line, the devs are expecting newer players interested in pvp (what i13 is tailored toward, right?) to compete against higher-tier incarnates.

It means that people are going to have to repeatedly grind PvE content in order to be more than just farm-fodder in the PvP zone. It means that people gain an edge in PvP for not playing in PvP (hell, at least the PvP IOs only drop in the PvP zone).

Speaking from experience in other games that require that...It's not a good angle to take.
