Guild Wars 2

I apologize if I’ve missed this in the stickys.

Its been ages since I played and I logged on the other day to do some SPvP. First thing I noticed was that I no longer had to fully customize my gear. So my question is, how is gear scaled? Does it just take what you have on and scale it to 80 with the stats that’s on it? Or is there some way to customize it to where I could run a condition build even if my normal set for PvE is zerker?

You need to have chest, legs, and foot armor in order to get armor credit for gear. The armor value used if you have that slot filled is based on level 80 exotics. Outside of that, all stats are decided by your PvP amulet and runes in the “PvP Build” menu accessed at the top of the screen in heart of the mists and during the prep period of a match.
