Remove OP PvE Gear From PvP

Remove the Legendary Tarecgosa staff and Cunning the Cruel from PvP. In RBG DoT comps, it is MUCH too overpowered as of now. The staff replicates most DoTs that the casters cast, and then that results in double the Cunning the Cruel AoE procs from each caster, which then essentially results in a constant barrage of AoE shadowbolts damaging everyone ON TOP of the DoTs that are already on everyone.
This is in no way fair. Dot Cleaves don't even have to CC anything anymore. It's insanity. This is essentially rewarding PvE players for their PvE progression in PvP. If you're 2700 rated in PvP, you don't have an advantage in PvE, so why should a PvE heroic-clearing person have an advantage in PvP? At this point, in order to be competitive in the top bracket of RBGs, you HAVE to do PvE. |

Ok, let me get right on that.
|

I still use Vial of Shadows.
Why? The proc is nice pressure, and 458 Agility is nice too. |
|
Working as intended (I'm getting tired of saying this even though I'm being sarcastic and playing off Blizzards consistent inept behavior to balance an area of the game that was once a shining bastion that they could be proud of but now stinks of decay and neglect).
|
I still use Vial of Shadows. True. However, there is no way to tell a player that they cannot use so-and-so item in so-and-so environment. It is just not possible to restrict a Legendary quality item from an Arena just because the proc makes it the most insane item to have in the game. |
Why not? It's just a few items every expansion that seem to skew balance up horribly. It can't be IMPOSSIBLE for Blizzard to code something like this into the game. |

Writing code for individual pieces of loot is not cost effective in the slightest.
Banning ALL PvE items from PvP areas would completely gut low level BGs. It'd be a battle of naked teams until lvl 60. |
To be honest, as long as it isn't impossible and/or a terrible timesink for Blizzard, I don't see why it couldn't be done. Just remove the items from Rated Battlegrounds. They're fine in arena, but just remove them from RBGs where you can stack 7+ casters. |

Writing code for individual pieces of loot is not cost effective in the slightest. So disallowing *5* items (cunning, legendary staff, both legendary daggers, and vial) would not be "cost effective?" They know how to disallow certain items in different parts of the game, and since Arenas are specific instances, it would not be difficult to do so. Yeah, it would definitely not be cost effective to repair a MAJOR flaw in one of the most important aspects of the game. Hmmm...
What? they are not fine in arenas. |

If it's about skill why not just make all gear standardized for all players upon entering arena?

Hi, PvE here, happy to remove all PvE equipment from PvP environments if every item of PvP gear gets forever banished from PvE dungeons and raids. That's impossible because the PVP geared person would have held back the group so much that they never would reach heroics. |
|
Why dont they just make it so any item with a proc ability (aside from pvp trinket) cannot proc from damaging players.

Hi, PvE here, happy to remove all PvE equipment from PvP environments if every item of PvP gear gets forever banished from PvE dungeons and raids. The NAO tournaments do this. There are strict rules on gear that can and cannot be used, so teams can't cheese their way with OP gear. Not sure if official tournaments do it though. |

Hi, PvE here, happy to remove all PvE equipment from PvP environments if every item of PvP gear gets forever banished from PvE dungeons and raids. We had a Ret pally who was CONVINCED that his Cataclysmic PvP trinkets were better than Heroic DS trinkets. He's not in our guild any longer. |
Writing code for individual pieces of loot is not cost effective in the slightest. "If the word "gladiator" is not in an item's name, it cannot be used in max-level BGs." Boom. |
