So in all honesty. Whenever someone brings up the extreme disparity between 5.2 heroic/heroic thunderforged and T2 items some people roll into the chat and scream something about how "PvP Power" will "fix" it in the same way people claimed for the longest time resilience would do it and we all know it never did!
They completly ignore the gross difference in main stats, they completly ignore the fact that the survivability DPS give up when using PvE off set pieces/weapons is tiny especially after the resilience nerf, they completly ignore the fact that often the offset pieces give MORE PvP Power/Defense when using the right gems (Raden ring gives around 500 more strenght and 60 more PvP power when using a blue gem...), they completly ignore that PvP power is halved for healers and thus other stats such as intelligence are often superior alongside a great many other things.
Now with upgrades for PvE being far cheaper and coming back in 5.2, how the hell can anyone justify or even defend this?
