PvP gear, love it or hate it, seems to be here to stay. The devs however, cannot play all the classes in pvp. They cannot know exactly what each and every class wants for their PvP gear. So I figured I'd make a thread and ask the players what they actually want for their gear. Listed below are (hopefully!) some effects and skills that the community has suggested that they might like to have on their PvP set for the next expansion.
Please keep your posts on-topic. Any posts about how hard/easy the gear is and about how good it should/shouldnot should be made in other threads please. This is an ideas thread so that hopefully the next set of gear wont have effects that your class doesn't want.
Feedback should be given on the following:1. Set Bonuses you would like to see.2. Skills you would like to see focus effects for your class.
General procs like 'heal me when I get hit' are good for most classes and should be left out of this. Also, try to be serious. I'd rather not have to wade through requests for Vorpal Weapons or other stupidly overpowered effects to get to the ones that might have a chance of happening.
Hopefully this gets going and I'll maintain it. If it doesn't, then you have no reason to be complaining about the next set of PvP gear if it isnt up to your expectations. Keep in mind that Im on Aussie (GMT+8) time and so updates to the main posts are likely to be done while you're asleep.
General Requests:- Can we get some jewelery as well as armor for the next expansion. Players don't want to be forced to run zones to get jewelery.- Less spell/melee crit on gear please, especially since you put crit mit on the gear and basically made all that crit you gave us useless. Either that or fix the crit mit, its annoying when crits hit for less than non-crits.- A revamp of lower tier armor would be welcomed by most people.

Conjuror:
Necromancer.
I want like a taunt proc on ouer gear. 2 sec lock 3 times/min.
I want a defensive stuff like displacement. or a ward that procs when we are getting hit.
I want increases run speed for kiting.
I want a iteam that we can run and cast for like 10sec, like the melee classes get their bumerang. They loose ther range weakness why cant we loose ouer kiting weakness?
I want a 10sec parry belt like the scouts.
Ha, I'm still messing around with the first post Guld, but I'll throw your ideas in the necro section... might have to make a general section as well. Thanks for contributing!
Coercer Set Bonuses:
2) Current ward proc is decent (same for all mages)
4) Increase Duration of Amnesia by x seconds (2-3 maybe)
6) Increase Tyrannous Mind count by 2 (procs).
Stats on each piece: Same goes for all classes, needs to buff more than 5-7 to one stat. Remove the +5 casting speed and the +5 reuse from 2 of the Coercer pieces respectively, or keep them while adding another stat (+base, crit, spell damage etc).
I want a charm that gives +50 to all stats +200 health/power +3 to all base spell damage has tracking ability that all classes can use for 40 pvp tokens.
Some sort of clicky on pvp armor could make your next 3 spells unresistable.
Warden Set Bonus:
Warden....
Chestpiece: currently has an upgrade to a damage spell on it. Change this to a 300 point ward to be added onto Photosynthesis.
Set bonuses:
2pc -Adds 10% DA to Instinct and makes it groupwide
4pc - reuse timer on Tide of Healing reduced by 10%
6pc - Enhance: Purity - causes each tic on Purity to be reduced to 7 seconds instead of 15.
I never want to see JUST damage spell crit on a warden set piece again. The melee CAs don't even make damage spell crit a viable stat to boost. For that matter, I never want to see another piece with Enhance: Winds of permafrost again. Adds need to be a mix of melee skills and heal skills....one pc with 100 heal amt/CA damage, keep the two with 7 heal crit, add the Photosynthesis mod onto the chest, one pc with a crapton of DPS mod on it, and add a weak Dispersion proc to the legs.
Edited because smileys are invading my post.

Gale doesn't stun the caster. It roots them. Not that you're doing a crapton of moving while spamhealing anyway.
Pond wash, really? Since when in a group battle does the group EVER run out of power before the fight ends, esp if you're wearing mana leak/pondwash belt? Rarely if ever happens to me....maybe one person being stupid with power, but never all.
Thorns 100% damage...it does M1 about 60-70 damage per melee hit if someone hits that one person it's on...and that's doubling it to 140 per, about. I'd rather go with a proc that covers the whole group....making thorns groupwide would be cool though.
i'd rather some avoidance love than more mitigation, I'm usually sitting at crap plate mitigation as is, but avoidance is down in the 20-30% ranges....make my avoid and mit the same value, mmmmmmm.....
Try to avoid generic things like 'I want more pondwash!' Pondwash is good for all classes. Just want set bonuses and focus effects for now. Might add in other stuff later. Also, tell your friends. The more feedback/opinions we get, the better our gear (should) be.
I'm not going to throw numbers up there, so if you say 'I want 35% base heals!' I'm going to write it up there as +base heals. I'm not even going to pretend like I know how to balance this stuff, and its the dev's job anyways. Im just doing this to consolidate the ideas in one place.
Was kind of annoyed that this suggestion was met with the following comment in qeynos chat though: The devs dont care.
So I was thinking Tortoise Shell when I thought Gale
Warden Set Bonus (revised):
I would also like my warden to have the abilities of the following mutants:
I would like a slow iteam aslo, or a upgrade on Dooming darkness (ouer slow)
