How does gear effect your stats in pvp?

[mmowin]

I can't find the source but someone told me that your power increases by 1% for every 10 item levels? So my question is, i'm queing bgs with 870 ilvl gear how much % boost is that? Thanks in advance.

based on this

then at 870 youll have a 7% boost.

but people are reporting its closer to 0.2% every 1 ilvl....so maybe blizz stuffed up

^ I see there were several other important questions asked in that string that Hoelacky didn't bother to answer. What an unmitigated douche he is.

i think its 1% per 10ilvl's, and keep in mind that percent effects ALL stats... people are saying gear doesn't matter now but that's bullshit, it counts now more than ever.

More than ever? Are you kidding? Even if you go against a 2.4k+ rated player who has 880 gear, and you're literally in starting 840 gear, they have 4% difference. That's absolutely NOTHING. Considering every season in WoD was about a 25% boost in stats, you're crazy if you seriously think it's worse now than it was then.

You have to compare artefact weapon. Each level adds 0,75% stamina boost.

I think the current system is pretty ace. Although tbh, I don't understand why they just won't cap iLvl in BGs so players could truly be equal (when it comes to gear at least). Maybe it's because the devs still want PvPers to feel a sense of getting stronger when they gear up, even though it's a low percentage.

Im mostly pve person but i do pvp every now and then.

I dont do any of the rated pvp, just casual bg's.

I have around 860 ilvl.

Does it mean that i should use full pve gear in pvp? Or eventually full BG pvp set outperforms my pve gear.

Ive noticed that a few pieces of pvp gear ive got actually reduce my stats in bg's.

860 ilevel means you are better geared than even 2K+ PVP rated players.

This "PVP" system is designed purely 100% for PVE players.

Except for the fact that at 2100cr i've been getting 870 gear.....so no.

You are limited by weekly rewards in pvp while pve isn't as you can spam mythic+ . That was especially a huge advantage in terms of artifact power as you get ~9k AP for a single mythic+ 7 run with ak10 wich allows to get points much faster than playing pvp even compared to the vastly improved rewards for pvp in 7.1

Longterm with the exception of new players/alts none of that will matter of course as everyone will get capped but until then you can get ahead playing pve.
