Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Unlock Elite Sets in PvP?
In order to earn the complete Elite set on any class, you must reach 1800 rating in any rated PvP bracket, which includes 2v2, 3v3, Solo Shuffle, and BG Blitz. Getting 1800 on one class only unlocks the set for that class. So in order to earn every Elite set in a season, you must get 1800 on every class.
What is the Easiest Bracket to Get 1800?
That entirely depends on your spec and experience, but for the most part BG Blitz will be the easiest for most players, while 3v3 is the hardest.
Can You Unlock Previous Season’s Elite Sets?
You cannot retroactively unlock previous Elite sets from any season or expansion.
Do Tier Sets Work in PvP?
Typically, tier sets work in PvP, but have reduced effects with hidden PvP modifiers. In many cases the effects are only 50% effective in PvP combat.
