Re: [PvP] DSLR Rated Battleground group.

I've tried to get into some really low mmr rbg and got laughed at because of still having contender's and pve trinkets and weapons.

One day you and Jobbie will win a 2s match.

And no one that wants to win RBGs will let you in without a trinket, lol.

Yea better off to get full honor and some conquest gear before trying RBG. Getting points in 2v2 till then is your best bet. Just tank your rating hard till you start getting teams you can beat.

Well my Spriest is almost fully pvp geared, and that's only I bought the gear to get into LFR.. LOL... still being smashed in 2 seconds by some loner warrior on the dominance dailies, we had to gather 3-4 guys to down him..

So I have a question. I've been starting to dabble a little bit with my warlock in some BGs. She is 486 in PvE gear. For PvP gear, I only have the crafted Contenders. Which is the better set for me? And if it is hte PvE, how do I know at what point to start swapping out slots with PvP gear?

Contenders is the best gear for you to start pvp. What I am doing is having my full contenders and getting the offset pieces first (rings, neck, cloak, trinket) the will go with Dreadful while keeping an eye on 5.2 to be sure I am honor capped when it hits.

Kind of like arena but in battlegrounds. Win and your rating goes up. You need 10 people. They brought back the old school titles as well.

Thanks Jobbie for clarifying the Contenders vs PvE for me. As your PvE ilvl goes up you start to be such a dps powerhouse in PvE with the gear that I was left wondering if Contenders would really be better.

I saw the advice on spending honor points on off pieces and upgrading them before 5.2 so I'll go that route also. I was lucky enough to get a PvP cloak drop off of Sha my first time doing it (and nothing since lol) so I'm good there.

It is really funny how easy is to spot a player in full PvE gear and just get to him and cut him to pieces.

One day I just had to say:

"hey!!! I killed a mage!"

Cptbeatstix was laughing really hard.

I felt sorry for that mage. He was all "ds;oaifhndskflnabsduifnab.adfvgsdfdsf" dead.

Last time it was a priest, I charged in with warbringer stun then used the "MASS DPS OMGWTF" macro Colossus smash + john fucking madden = 3 shotted priest. You guessed right he was in pve gear.

"MASS DPS OMGWTF" macro for the curious:

#showtooltip Recklessness
/use Avatar
/use Bloodbath
/use Deadly Calm
/use Dreadful Gladiator's Badge of Victory
/use Recklessness
/use Skull Banner

I was thinking on changing my sig to:
"RAWR RAWR RAWR YARRR RAWR!!!!!" ("Actual sounds made by me when I hit the DPS macro") but if I am going Prot Flag Carrier I can keep it the way it is.

I don't know... I'm kinda liking the new one.

Maybe you could post a soundbyte of it for us.

After hearing the news about 5.2 I decided to go against a prot set I will wait until Malevolent switches to honor to get it done. Right not I am just upgrading my pieces when I am getting close to cap, 466 makes for a better punch in the gear.

I should be going into 5.2 with honor capped and at least 4k CP.

I wanted to revive this thread since 5.2 is happening now. When is this RBG going to start?
