Title says it all really, will PvP items have something like Resilience or will there only be one type of item for both PvE and PvP?

Is there PvP gear... yes. When you enter the Structured PvP, you will be given the PvP gear you need, however there is no progression for PvP gear with better stats (better looking gear you can get) and there is no PvP stat like WoW's resilience, SW:TOR's Expertise or Rift's Valor. There is also WvW PvP and you can learn about that here.

Resilience or what ever pvp stat MMO's incorporate always ruin pvp.  It's why pvp is usually always fun while leveling up and then goes to shit once you're max level.  Thankfully Anet is the only smart company out there and understands this.

Thanks, i knew there was PvP specific gear, was just specific stats i was wondering about, should have rephrased abit maybe. Good to hear there isnt anything like "resilience" as i hated that in WoW and all other games that has it.

Im mostly a PvPer myself but i like to be able to use my PvE gear in PvP.

If you want to PvP with your PvE gear then you can join the war in WvW and do just that. That vid I linked to you earlier shows that.

Gear stats will be equalized in Structured PvP (arenas), so that everyone is on even footing. In WvW, your gear will apply but it doesn't have a specific 'PvP stat' like resillience, for example. So...the gear you attain through PvE will work just as well, stat-wise, in both PvE and PvP. Which is a VERY refreshing change, in my opinion. The way it looks to me, knowing what we know, gear will matter (as to how much we aren't sure) in WvW but it'll be more 'one size fits all' than anything else. Hope that helps.

I think some people are a bit worried now that skill will come into play and not their uber gear, just sayin............

Only those who ask for such nonesense like PvP gear progression, are the ones that worry needing actual skill in order to compete. I myself will embrace it.

I always hated the way that gear earnt through pve somehow wasnt up to the standard of that in pvp.

Hey who doesn't wanna grind for weeks/months to get max gear so you can one-shot noobs? ;) I mean that's what pvp is about right?

I think gear should matter abit, but not to the extent that you can "1 shot" people with bad gear. But if i have done very well in PvE and PvP i should be rewarded for it. there has to be some form of progression when doing PvP/PvE, thats what RPG's are about. But there shouldnt be a major diffrence like as in say WoW where you need atleast 4000 resilience or whatever to be able to play competitive.

I agree, aslong as you can earn gear through both PvE and PvP and they are both very equal in stats.

If you are a PvPer but wanna do abit of PvE every now and again its nice to be able to use the gear you earned through PvP for dungeons and raid etc and the other way around.
