That's a fact.
There should never be a talents on gear that would outplay in pvp. the devs did a bad job with a lot of talents design and now that they have realized it, they put out a PTS for us, players to test in their places. The game was in preparation since TD1 launch but they have never tested those things properly.
I imagine the devs sitting around the table to discuss the talents mechanic: lets make a talent that repair your armor once you crit.
by making a game so diverse with things like you end up unable to control nothing.
Strip talents away from gears and weapons.
