I thought 3.5k resil was from t1 pvp epic set, but 4k was from t2, which is only acquired after 2200 rating (not that you couldn't pay a good price in gold to cheese that).

You do realize the t2 vicious doesn't actually have any stat upgrades(not including the weapons) and is just a color change right? Also there has been multiple glads that have been clickers...

gear means a lot...

I could have the exact same skills as a top 5 PvPer, but if I'm rolling in with 372 heroic raid gear (ashkandi, T11.5 etc) I'll get rolled by my PvP equivalents simply because PvP gear reduces a shit ton of damage, while PvE gear is designed to make you deal out more damage.

The issue is they don't overlap, that fact Tralina can turn my 51k hits into mere 11k scratches (when she can heal for 16k) puts me at a large disadvantage. You can say skill is a factor but some of the best PvPer's are loaded with resilience, stamina, and use tank specs (blood DK anyone?) simply because they can out-live any DPS thrown at them.

But then again my major complaint about WoW PvP is it's reactionary, it's all about counters and CC, so certain specs have clear distinct advantages by having more survivability and crowd control techniques (frost mages, sub rogues, restro druids, and disc priests) making them near impossible to kill in a 1v1 situation unless major mistakes are made.

I was merely referring to Taslion's post about how surprised he was that she could click with that much resilience. There are plenty of baddies with the best gear.

I preferred Vanilla world PvP, where if you wanted to have the edge in PvP you had to work for it, either by sucking up with 39 other retards in week long Naxx raids, or kicking so much ass you could buy HWL's

Ever since arena was put into place the effort to be the best simply derives off point farming to buy gear that is on par with raid level tier, which gives a huge survivability increase therefore substituting skill for min-maxing and specific cookie cutter spec choices

The only true fun I had in WoW pvp was during Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, and the four dragons Lethon, Emeriss, Taerar and Ysondre. Anything after was just whatever.

One of the top 2's teams right now should not be double Blood DK. It is dumb. I play a Mage-Rogue 2's team, its fun, but the other day we went up against a Prot Paly - Blood DK combo. I don't want to ever meet these people who discuss building idiotic comps like that.
