PSA: diadem gear does NOT work in PvP. Do not use it, the substats are nerfed.

What, they were extremely overpowered until they nerfed them at some point in 3.1x.

I was testing a lot of first Diadem gear in 3.1 and it always had 0 secondaries when synched. They buffed it to 9 now but it's still too low when caps are up to 49.
On a side note, I don't know why many players wear full Garo set. It's not required for mounts or anything and don't give any advantages.
Proper PvP set is a mix of PvE, PvP and crafted gear based on their secondary stats.

Ah so it's just a matter of having a base amount of stats on the gear that's higher than the value it would get capped to at i150, that makes sense.

I'll give it a shot if I ever get a coven weapon, otherwise my relic's tied up being used for PvE stuff.
