I don't so much connect with my PvE warrior as I connect my axe with other people's faces. It just isn't quite the same thing.

I mostly pve but also pvp every so often

I think all items being treated as req 9 is fine

but i'm curious should the inverse also be true, as in all the pve mods automatically become maximum to offset that imbalance?

ie a +15% enchant mod becomes +20% when in pvp arenas

The question is, is it needed? Just because of the power of the J-screen, if you can't get max mods, why not just make a PvP character where you can fairly easily get max mods?

Not that I'm against it, I'm just wondering if it is needed.

Something similar was mentioned before, but it isn't really that difficult to get a 14-armor req 7 tactics shield, which is still better for Mo/W than only getting 8 out of a shield they don't meet the reqs for. Get a cheap blue one and inscribe it with +10 slashing/+30HP if you want.

The best solution to this isn't really to make PvE mods available as much as it is to just make shield armor progress rather than being 8 or everything.

Well, it's out in the open. It will be nerfed no doubt.... Give it two weeks?
The 40% enchant axe didn't last a week when it was out in the open....

+55 hp hammer? (it's nonmax though, and rather useless as you can run +30 spear + shield.)
I have a few of these morgahn shields, but I can't trade 'em.

I've kinda skipped posts, but I think there shouldn't be any stats on items in PvP that can only be achieved outside of the J menu.

To compensate, why not have PvE-only items with better stats for future chapters? Like 18-25 swords, +20%>50. Just don't have them available for PvP. This gives PvEers a bit more to play for in the game (this is just how I feel, I just don't see the need to go back to PvE as I have everything I need).

Another thing is pve dropped mods that break the "item attribute" condition that pvp players have to conform too.

For example could you make a tactics shield with +1(20%) Smiting Prayers?
No you can't but I've had 2 drop for me for some odd reason.

Or the plagueborn scepter with req 9 fire and 20% HSR communing and 20% HCT of healing prayers.

This stuff isn't really too unbalancing per se, it just magnifys that there is a difference between pve and pvp equipment choices still.
