I’ve always loved experimenting with gear and builds but it takes considerable amount of effort to do so due to umbrals.
PvPers shouldn’t have to grind for shards whenever we buy a new item or try a new set. Scaling to 600 is still a massive disadvantage compared to 625.
Id love to see gear scale to the expertise you’ve achieved for each slot so you only have to do the pve grind once (at least in instanced pvp not open world or pve).
