Barb pve gear for pvp has been nerfed
This is that the children gear (which I liked to use their hands, belt, solders and wrist) have a lot of stamina pool. This is useless now sense I can't use it to out-run casters or other melee. Still they are good because they have more prot than pvp gear (hands also have more crit) but the overall dps is lower, there is no hit rating, no tenacity, less armor and no strength. So does funcom think its fair to sacrifice all of that for stamina which I can't even use.
Funcom needs to revamp these pcs of gear like they did with Coils gear, but barbs frequently seem to get the loose end.
you aren't getting the point
Look at ranger and sin prot pve gear. They are all great for dealing damage against casters because they have combat rating and dex while my barb has combat rating and stamina (so I get half of what they get) until funcom updates the gear.
pve gear for barb should be better than pvp just like sin because. . .
the pvp belt has about 50 prot and the pve one has abou 100 prot for barb
same goes for wrist
But there is a great decrease in damage
Funcom might be trying to fix it with the coils set.
The pve prot boots there have 50% more damage and about 20% more armor and slightly more prot than the children boots.
