When you go to The Hearts Of The Mists "the spvp area"
All characters count as level 80
All gear worn counts as level 80 exotic, regardless of it is a base lv 1 white or a lvl 80 legendary
All traits "except the new content that was added which is unlockable with gold/skill points" are auto unlocked for you in the mists
There is no statistical advantage being level 80 in the mists because a level 1 has the same stats as you, while in the mists
Just make sure that you go to the top middle of your screen "while in the mists" to configure your pvp build
The H screen PvE/WvW build does not apply while in the mists
Also ~ Do not remove any armor pieces while in the mists
It will actually lower your base defense armor value
You should take a look at this as a reference
These builds are still strong & stable
But when the new expansion arrives, this will all be obsolete
