I would say get S1 gear if you are not doing 5 , 3, 2 mans yet. I always look at gear stats to cost ratio. Weapons are just too good not to get season 1 at start. When they allow to to get blue pvp gear again, then get that save points for S3 gear. I have found the gear grind to be never ending. I had all season 1 gear and all veterns, I will not upgrade to s3 gear. Its not worth cost minor sat gains.
