Thread: 2.4 PVP changes to Morale

I keep seeing people in Frontlines debate whether or not Morale has any effect following the changes made in 2.4. Do we have a conclusive answer?

This is not true. With 2.4 Morale now acts as an ilvl upgrade in any PvP area, including frontlines.

This only has an effect on i70 pvp gear with 10 morale on it. In frontlines this gear becomes i70 + 10 morale = i80, and it will have identical stats to an i80 piece of gear with the same substats (I have tested this with the i70 tank boots that give CRIT/DET and the i80 boots from the old expert dunegons. I swapped both of them and my stats did not change at all).

i90+ pvp gear already gets synced down to i80, so it has no effect in frontlines on this gear.

Yeah for sure it's definitely useful for removing accuracy and gearing up alts due to i70 gear being so cheap

Moral works with all gear in FL, not just i70. It will help push secondary stats to the i80 cap.

For example, i100 Hellwolf Choker of Aiming normally has 12 crit, but gives 14 crit while in FLs because it's being synced from i110 instead of i100.
