So I finally dinged over the weekend and looked into gear.

OMG what did Blizzard do!!!!!

It looks like the Blue PvP is butt.

My plan is this. Have Swifthide armor made for all my toons and use the purple off armor. Then gear up with Arena gear when I can. Swifthide armor is better then the PvP blue set and it comes with resilience which is nice. No set bonus but you get more gemmed gear. The purple off gear is key to any PvPer. This will be my PvP grind and it is a long, LONG road.

Anyone else have a faster way to achieve this or even a better suggestion?
