After playing more arenas I've come to the conclusion that...

...Is a mandatory trinket for a melee team. Period. End of sentence.

I have to start doing my dailies.

I have to start doing my dailies.

I thought about that trinket but decided to get the master + str on use trinket. GG I guess. Spent 125 tokens already.

edit: On a more serious note, have to see what 400 resist do in PVP. Did anyone actually test this out. we are obviously not interested in the partial resist damage reduction part, but looking at the chance on full resist CC. Simply use the trinket, and let the mage sheep you. See what's the chance he misses.

so for 10 seconds the chance of any of your guys getting slowed, stopped , or CC'ed is greatly reduced, plus the majority of damage sources will also be greatly reduced. you really need to be playing with a team that starts out with 195 spell resists to get full effect from this as most pvp builds have around 200 spell pen. you're definitely right, it's all about time on target and this is a trinket that helps you do that then it's almost like having a second PvP trinket which is priceless.

Yeah, I'll just run resistance aura for a base of ~100 resist post spell penetration (most people run ~200). That'll be 500 resist to everything--That's like 70% magical damage reduction and a VERY low chance you'll get snared/rooted/stunned/whatever'd. Combined with Death's Advance, AMS, IBF and trinket you should be able to basically have 30 free seconds of no-CC pain train wreckage.

Hmm, 200 spell pen vs 195 + 400 resist. spell pen to resist is not 1 to 1 ? Also what's the chance of full resist. I can't imagine it is 70% for full resist.

[remanz]

I am not certain but following wowwiki.

400 resist is 40% resist on binary spell.

Binary spells are spells which deal a debuff (like Frost Nova or Vampiric Embrace) or, for some other reason, must take full effect or no effect at all.

So 40% chance that the magical CC will miss for 10 seconds per 1min. Not bad, not bad at all.

[Noids]

I don't think BoK or MotW resists stack with resist aura/totem which is why most casters stack to 200 spell pen rather than 260. So if you are a team that already runs with these buffs, you are looking at +400 resist which is significant, but if you are a priest team then you are really only looking at a +200 resist buff which may not be worth it?

[Mosg2]

It's basically 1:1 for spell pen to resists. You get 200 for resist aura and 100 for Blessing of Kings, making 300 plus the 400 for this trinket--700 spell resist. Figure they have ~200 spell pen (the number most casters shoot for). That makes 500 resist.

you only get up to 195 with kings and resist aura as far as i can tell
