So mid-afternoon yesterday I finally made it to level seventy. If you look at my armory you'll see that I haven't been running instances or paying much attention to gear. I have a bunch of quest blues by my stats are rather weak. I have low hit points, a low chance to crit, low damage daggers, low hit and no resilience whatsoever.
While I will begin the process of attunement for end-game instancing, my true focus is going to be on PvP. With patch 2.3 approaching, I've been mulling over the most efficient way of gearing myself.
I have one Ced's carver on the way from our guild bank, and I'll probably grab another off the auction house. That at least will take me beyond 70dps - that's not arena quality but it should be sufficient for battlegrounds.
I'm going to join an Arena team as soon as possible, to learn and to farm points - but I doubt I'll spend any until I approach the point cap.
I'm going to spend the majority of my on-line time in battlegrounds, farming for honor rewards. My idea is to start collecting those items that wont be replaced by arena gear - bracers, waist, cloak, rings, trinkets, etc.
As far as build goes, I'm considering dropping my Mut/sub for Theo's Mut/combat. I'm not sure though - in Alterac Valley having those shorter cooldowns and faster stealths may be more beneficial. I suppose I'll try both and see which I enjoy playing more.
My question, basically, is does this seem like a good plan? Farming the 'off' items first? Holding out my arena points for the patch?
What advice can you experienced PvP'ers give to a scrub regarding collecting gear after hitting the level cap?
Thank you.
