Help with Gear and what builds for 4x shammies

[marvein]

It is all relative though, you'll eventually get there - once 70 do battlegrounds most players in BG's are very under geared so your pretty much at a level playing field. The super geared only applies to Arenas mostly, and in that bracket you can get your 10 games in and call it a week. Accumulate points and eventually buy items to where you'll be on par after a while.

I'd take this with a grain of salt. This is highly dependant on the battlegrounp you're in. In mine, the majority of BG players are highly geared, and you'd be very fustrated when your team of level 70 players in blue gear gets competely killed off by a single rogue or warrior that you can't seem to do any damage too. Or a single mage that jumps in the center of your group and AoE's you down in just a couple of bursts.

I'm no PvP Pro by any means, but I do know the difference between "skill" and "overgeared god mode"

Yes & no...People running BG's are usually doing it to get geared up, which means they will generally be poorly geared. There are exceptions of course, paticularly with pre-made groups. But 5 70's in scrubby blues should by easily able to take care of one 70, regardless of how well geared they are. The only real problem I have is if i get fear bombed in bewteen WoTF cooldowns, or getting zerged myself.

ya, even in my high pop battlegroup (Nightfall) there are very few geared people in AV (I run it on my hunter for some gear upgrades) most people in BGs are getting geared up, arena is where you must really worry about getting rolled by people in S2/3 gear because that is what they are trying to get more of.
