Good...so if I am not in item level sync, my full Warwolf set is basically best in slot for Frontlines then? Cause it would be a real shame if morale was completely taken out of the picture and i70 pvp gear would be useless.

No. I was saying that Morale is likely completely out of the picture. BiS for Wolf's Den i80 and Frontlines will likely be i80+ PvE gear.

Yes that gear is useless for Frontlines.

So basically they are making it so the people who pve more then pvp have something more to do? Either way we'll see cause warwolf or direwolf will be better then the pve stuff.

No, without Morale, the Warwolf, Direwolf and the i100 sets will be equal to or worse than PvE gear of the same ilevel because they will be short one secondary stat and melds will not mean anything while in i80 sync content.

This is likely to be a Paladins BiS for Frontlines/i80 Wolf's Den:
Break Blade/ Curtana Novus (Det/Crit)
(Tidal) Wave Shield/ Holy Shield Novus (Det/Crit)
(Weathered) Noct Circlet
Heavy Wolfram Cuirass
Heroes Belt of Fending/(Weathered) Noct Belt
Heavy Wolfram Cuisses
(Weathered) Noct Greaves/Sabatons of Light

Thank you for clarifying that for me. Good thing I still have a lot of gear to play around with then.

As of patch 2.3, item level sync will be applied to the following PvP instances:

The Wolves' Den (Matched, IL 80) / The Wolves' Den (Light Party, IL 80) / The Carteneau Flats: Borderland Ruins (IL 80)

No note on it's removal so I think its likely still in.

Looks like we will have 7 PvP types in the duty finder:

The Wolves' Den (Matched, Level 30)
The Wolves' Den (Matched, Level 40)
The Wolves' Den (Matched, Level 50)
The Wolves' Den (Light Party, Level 50)
The Wolves' Den (Matched, IL 80)
The Wolves' Den (Light Party, IL 80)
The Carteneau Flats: Borderland Ruins (IL 80)

Yeah that sounds about right. If they were to remove the normal Wolves' Den all PvP gear would be useless. Especially the i100

We can change classes/jobs in the Carteneau Flats. So who needs Tanks there? Especially after stun time reduction.
Will SMN stacking (+2 healer) be the way to win? :S
