diadem gear substats disabled in pvp?

So upon finding out a few weeks ago via live letter that diadem gears would have random substats, I got excited thinking about the pvp sets we could build...just like ol' 40's den :D

So I've been farming it in hopes I could get some nice pieces for pvp. Today I had my first match since patches release and tried out some of the diadem gears I'd picked up... and quickly noticed a massive drop in my secondaries when I equipped it, tested all the diadem gear and it's all the same. Main stats capped, secondaries all disabled.

I'm wondering if this is a mistake or intentional? Probably intentional as the sets you could build for 150 cap could end up pretty insane. Was there any word on this at all upon release or through live letter?

Nope, nothing here stating it. Pretty shady business of you ask me -_-

Huh. Well, if true (and intended), then this is very disappointing.

And good to know. I'll make note not to just toss the old gear away when I get Diadem stuff.

Lvl 40 Aetherial gear worked in lvl 40 queues, but lvl 53 aetherial gear (that belt of sorcery from the fate chain in churning mists) didnt work in i80 or unsynced lvl 50 modes

it seems that in either lvl sync or ilvl sync all the rolled stats are disabled, but it might also apply to unsynced lvl 60 as we dont have that mode available

I submitted a bug report last week specifically about the i150 gear, as even though there should be no syncing for that, all substats are ignore. Looks like it was moved to the "accepted bugs" category.

So it actually is a bug! This is good news. Thank you for sharing.

With any luck, they'll fix this and Diadem gear will actually be usable in PvP at some point in the future.

I sure hope they fix this soon! I recently upgraded two pieces in my SCH PVP set to 210 Diadem and traded in the law gear, but I've been running an 180 accessory for a while now, too.

Time to go re-buy some gear in the meantime...
