All my weapons and gear are above 1520 light lvl (the minimum requirement in trials) but I still do less damage against other players in trials. Eg. Ace of spades does 50 damage instead of 70 which it deals in elimination (takes 4 head shots to kill someone) and shotguns are basically useless.
Why would light lvl matter in a pvp? It takes away the whole competitiveness of something like trials. I'm a returning player so I still have the game knowledge to hold my own in pvp but haven't had enough time put in it yet to become max light lvl.

Yeah, in Trials and Iron Banner, power level is activated - artifact levels are turned off. So your power is just your gear. If you're running 1520-1530 and your opponents are in the 1550-1560 range, you're gonna struggle for kills and be easier to kill.
