I'd just like to point out that if you're upgrading PvE gear to PvP gear for PvE content, you're not actually upgrading, you're faking your ilvl. A 353 PvE piece is better than a 371 PvP piece as it has more USEFUL stat points. Resilience is completely useless in PvE, it ONLY affects damage caused by players, so the points allocated to Resilience on your gear is wasted, thus lowering your effective gear level. You may have more Strength, Agility, Intellect, or Spirit, but you won't be performing any better than you were in those 346 blues due to your lack of secondary stats.

Actually, Natsumi, that's not quite true. If it's a large enough ilvl difference, the extra stats will make the PvP gear a better option. Especially for Int- using classes, where Int is everything. At the point where it's 40+ levels greater, you're probably getting a boost. Although it's hard to say for sure, obviously.

Bellajtok is stupid.Lul

Obviously, it's rare that, with VP and JP, someone would have a slot with such a large ilvl gap, but it could happen- most likely when people are just starting in Zulroics and still have a few quest greens laying around. It happens, and if you happen to have some honor lying around from leveling, buying one or two pieces of PvP gear is an acceptable solution.

Before anyone calls me an idiot, let me make a case for you. For the vast majority of specs, pvp gear is generally worse then pve gear. The one exception i know of is bears

For bears (i has mathz on my computer, on my ipod right now), agility is ridiculuously good. As such, secondary stats (esp. non mastery) arent great. Because of this, one tier higher pvp gear is actually the same as a tier of pve gear below it ( 371 is actually a tier and a half above 359 because of s9 and thus is better) qnd any higher is better. So, 384=371 gear. If the 371 ( or tier below pvp gear) has mastery and the pvp gear doesnt, the pve gear is slightly better.

If you are really persistant on calling me an idiot i will bring up math for you guys onfe im on my computer.

Except no Natsumi, you;re wrong, on my alt combat rogue The ruthless glad helm SIMS better for damage than both my 359 Tsenga;s helm and the 353 troll hc one.

So no you;re wrong, suck it..

That said it is the only PVP piece I use across any of my chars.

Natsumi that ideology is a fallacy of many PVE players, there are several PVP pieces that give several different classes upgrades that they would otherwise be starved to find. Look at Resto Druid, its almost impossible to find leather bracers with good stat's, so you could run around forever with your 333 crap or you could run 3-4 random daily BG's and pick up a 371 pvp bracer that is way better than the 333 crap you've been carrying around.

My druid tank has on 365 pvp pants which give him significantly more stam, agil, and dodge than the 346 pants I had before, being that those are the only real stats you care about as a bear unless your sacrificing 200 points of mastery for a 10 point increase to agil(which I'm not) the pvp pants are better.

Another important thing that people that only focus on PVE sometimes don't realize about PVP gear is that often you sacrifice a somewhat useless stat for your class in order to pick up significantly more of a very important stat such as Hit rating where with the PVE you might have found it almost impossible to pick up another 200 hit rating to reach hit cap, getting that one PVP piece with 190 hit on it puts you where you need to be.
