Battlegrounds PvP gear

[tocrenshaw]

If you just world PVP you should be fine. I run a 10 man MMMMP x 2. Recently hit rank 8 just from doing pvp an hour or two a night. If you went to silithus and BRM you'll find more than enough honor to get you to 10 quickly.

How many kills per week do you think will get me to what rank?

I am struggling to see if i can get out of green gear and if its going to take me weeks or months.

I'm compiling a list of gear (and taking my sweet time doing it too) that weighs effort spent / value gained of pieces with elemental shamans in mind. Stuff like t2.5 should be the end goal, but you would have to be an absolute mad lad to raid AQ 5x a week.

I'd also start solo pugging ZG as a resto shaman - no one really needs the ZG pieces / heart of hakkar anymore

https://classic.wowhead.com/item=199...ian-hero-charm - Trinket

Also, the rare caster gear from ZG is solid.

All these pieces are the low hanging fruit of "good" gear. I need to put some more thought into this, though.

Edit: In reference to your "risk assessment", I got a temp week ban for AFKing AV to exalted 5x at once when it first came out. This was before you could group queue so they were all in different BGs. If you're gonna play AV - make sure to play. You will get spam reported. My ban was immediately overturned without any input from me, but honestly, I should have had to deal with it. No idea why blizz flipped it.

Thanks for the time you put into replying and the gear links, a huge food for thought. I will consider my options knowingly this is going to be a task.

ive been doing this since and I’m rank 4 already, this is what I will have to do for now.

is there no way I can enter bg’s like basin or wsg and just fight in the open lol? not sure if it would mould well with everyone else being crippled and less effective without mobility.

world PvP is ok but I do at times struggle to find players at my level.

So Im doing it for a while now, stationary grind at flagroom/farm and slow push with the zerg in alterac...I mean it works out in honor/hr but Im really curious if blizzard takes action against it in the near future given how many times i get reported for giving my team (atleast ab& warsong) an auto loss. The reason Im doing wsg/ab is because my server is 99% horde and alterac has absurd queue times.
