I like the idea of pvp gear. But not to make ppl overgeared or overpowered. But to make players use different builds for pvp. Using dps gladiator or defensive lancer is a good idea, i think. Players will try creepy builds, but hey! It should be fun! Go full crit, full skill speed or anything you want!

Plus, making that gears pvp only will avoid players to try weird things on pve (like trying big NO-NO builds on bosses).

I'm OK with pve gear right now.But pvp is lacking some kind of... Individualism (concerning builds)
