PVP materia and synced gear

So, I'm curious. The following note is on every pvp duty: "While synced, all item stats are adjusted. During PVP, materia bonuses are also ignored." Since it's part of the same bulletpoint, I can't help but wonder: Does it ONLY apply to gear that's been synced down? Or would it also apply using a set of crafted ilvl 150 gear?

I put some stun resist materia in and it seems like it's ignored. Does this mean non materia gear is better in The Feast?

Materia does not work in PvP, any ilvl/gear.

Not necessarily, you're going to want to optimize your secondary stats. For most DPS this is going to be stacking crit/det on essentially all your pieces.

Moral still working even if the stuff is synced ?

Materia and Morale are relics of WD 1.0. It works if you get the i110 PVP stuff, but why would you do that?

So would I be correct in thinking that I could, say, bring a couple of 110 PVP items and the PVP materia will actually work, giving me the Sleep Resist I desperately need when matched against a WHM/BLM combo?

No, all materia is universally disabled whenever ilvl sync is in effect. Doesnt matter if its i150 sync and you're wearing melded lvl 20 gear, the materia wont work. This is true for all sync'd content.
