Is much better now than in earlier patches (pvp scaling gear helps a lot vs pve guys, covenant abilities and cds are still bursty but stamina is high enough that unpredictable one shots are less of a thing.
Gearing being dictated by rating is still pointless imo (you dont want gear discrepancies in rated pvp) wod system where it was easy to get scaling conquest gear with no rating was better, or legion with templates where gear didn't matter.
But all in all, its in a decent spot now. Shame it took them two patches though.
