@80s_nights Racials, Talents, Artifact Traits, and of course PvP talents will all be active in both unrated and rated PvP.
Is this still the case? Artifact Traits?
Thanks

ok so I got a message stating:
Artifact Talents work in PvP and PvE
PvE set bonus is disabled in PvP
PvP secondary stats will not matter and stats are auto adjusted when engaged in PvP
It takes x10 wins in PvP (BG I think) to unlock all PvP talents
Artifact talents are leveled in all parts of the game so any raider will have them unlocked for sure pretty quickly (2 or 3 months)
So, if you play the game (PvP & PvE) you will never be far behind gear strengths wise (>1% to 2.5%)
Every artifact talent and trait is 100% functional in PvP. The relics, though, those little 3 slots at the top of the artifact tree are disabled. You can level it anywhere you like, but most likely there will be a certain way that will be the most optimal.
It takes way more than 10 BG wins to unlock all your talents. It's the equivalent of farming 50k honor today.
