I want to get back into PVP, but since I last PVP'd I have changed from healer to Troller. All my old PVP gear is healer. I went to the PVP vendors to get gear I can use. Only problem is all the gear available to purchase is for the next level and requires Influence as well as cash. What options do I have? Thanks in advance.
When you enter arenas, your stats are automatically boosted to the level of 96 gear. Also, there is now only one set of gear at each level, and it has all stats for each role, in other words there is no healer/troller/tank/dps gear now, one side fits all.
The PvP vendors are at the Hall of Doom / Watchtower. The "starter" pvp gear you can get is the cr 97 PvP gear that needs some ingame cash + Marks of valor (from arenas). You need a full set (so weapon, armor, rings, trinket) to get to the next cr (98) pvp gear. Without PvP gear you'll be boosted to the minimum pvp lvl of cr 96 (you could also buy cr 96 pvp gear, but there is no reason to do so).
Or under a rock... I think Influence hasn't been used to buy PVP gear since around the time Origin Crisis went live.
Lol, I still have a little influence left. Spent a lot on those zesty colas. Since we are talking old school.
Same, I've got a grip of other old school marks, too. I still have conquests, distinctions, kryptons, and even the og v-day event marks, haha. I'm actually proud to still have those; they're always cool to look at.
Over the summer and fall I was bring up some old alts, was very bored. Some still had the marks from the hack attack, lol.
