Hey there,

 

i came recently back to the game after a few years and have a lot of Questions.

 

How strong is the gear gap and is there still an easy way to get bolster from crap gear (with decent stats)?

- I just played 1 PvP Game at level 70 with a char with some old lvl 65 Gear and i obviously didnt get bolstered.

 

Are Healers still as OP and is Endgame PvP still as much of a Zerg as before?

- When i read about some of the later abilities and feats its hard to believe that some classes can die especially with a healer and since i only played 1 lvl 70 pvp Game id like to hear the experience how lvl 70 pvp is.

 

I mean back in the days 8 vs 8 pvp was pretty much pointless when both teams had 1-2 healers and now that the Chars became even more stronger i fear its the same **** just worse.

 

Is there some sort of Guide what equipement/stats to use for pvp? I have no idea how all the stats effect the char.

 

And finally is there a Server where low level pvp isnt dead?

I allways liked low level pvp - put in every slot some sort of gear and youre ready to go^^

 

 

Greetings

You are going to get a ton of different opinions on this. To be frank, I'd suggest just trying the game for awhile. It will entertain you for a bit I am sure, and after a period of time goes by you will know if you find it enjoyable or not.

Bolster is supposed to bring you to 252?(248?)/236, so I would invest in a legacy set and throw 228 augs in to get full advantage out of bolster. It was just upped so I wouldn't be surprised if it was bugged.

Depends on who you ask, and how good the teams are.

Ballpark, assuming no passive alacrity buffs, either 703 or 1860 alacrity. accuracy can be up to the full 110% (i think none or 105% are most common, i personally run my pve set on the odd chance I dps). crit up to 2k (i think, i run high alacrity, so i make crit as high as possible). These are for 248 gear, 252 see the discussion here - http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=949300

SF and SS when I've tried to do pvp levelling are both arenas constantly.
