So I am a pvper coming from wow (world of warcraft). In Wow pvp you have specific sets for pvp. usually 2. I was wondering in this game if there are specific armor sets for pvp and where you would buy those sets. I have also heard pvp armor is purely cosemetic. If someone could clear this up for me that would be awesome.

It’s recently changed. It used to be you had a different set of gear in SPvP that was normalised, meaning you could have a different look. Now, however, SPvP uses your PvE gear, but normalises the stats so everyone has the same; there is no tiers of gear in SPvP. All this really means is that there’s no visual distinction between your SPvP and PvE gear.

If you go into the Mists, you’ll see near the top a button that says PvP Build. Clicking that will bring up the PvP Build UI. That’s where you choose your runes, sigils, weapons, traits and amulet.

Yes, there are several stat combinations for use in PvP. Then for PvE you have Berserker.
