This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed , the AOL guest writer program that brings your words to WoW Insider’s pages. What is the purpose for PVP and PVE gear being mostly useless in the opposite grouping? At one time, raiders would own the Battlegrounds having the top gear in the game. In The Burning Crusade , subtlety rogues did the same in Arena with the tier 6 set bonus combined with Illidan’s blades. But that was then, this is now. Currently, I hate the fact that I have to grind two separate sets of gear to do the same exact role. My paladin is holy. Whether I PVP or PVE, I heal with her. The problem is that my resilience healing gear hinders me while running heroics, and my ilevel 346 gear hinders me in Arena and Battlegrounds. Some of those in my guild do not mind dying a few more times because my gear is not optimal, but let’s face it, they would rather not die because of my gear. I do remember how tough the grind for gear used to be. I do know that it is easier than ever to grind out two separate sets of gear. At the same time, I would like it to be more effective to wear a full 359 PVE set than 358 PVP set of gear. What do you think? Should PVE and PVP gear be that so different from each other?
