Upgrading from Veteran -> Vindicator, is it really worth it?Follow

#1 Nov 08 2007 at 5:34 AM Rating: Decent
I currently have all the Veteran's gear as well as both trinkets. I have 75k honor ready for S3 but I am not so sure I will be spending all this honor upgrading to Vindicator's.

The upgrade from Veteran to Vindicator is as follows:
Ring : +4 Stamina +4 Crit Rating +2 Attack Power +56 Armor Penetration
Neck: +4 Stamina +4 Crit Rating +8 Attack Power
Belt: +68 Armor +4 Strength +4 Stamina +4 Crit Strike
Wrist: +4 strength +6 stamina +4 crit rating +79 more armor (same socket but different socket bonus: this one's got +2 str, the old one had +2 resilience rating)
Feet: +83 Armor +4 Strength +4 Stamina +4 Crit Strike

I will get the Vindicator ring to use instead of the Crypts ring with resiliance or a pure dps ring.

The question I have is : is it really worth upgrading the rest of the Veteran's items, considering that besides the ring, none of the Vindicator's items have Armor penetration? Because the way I see it, it will cost 63k honor for +18 stamina, +16 Crit, +12 Str, +8 AP, +162 armor, -2 Resil. If I did not already have the honor saved up, I doubt very much I could have ground honor for this upgrade.

And finally, if I have both the current PVP trinkets already, is the new DPS trinket really worth getting if I think I will be focusing on 2/3 man arenas?

You didnt mention season 1, assuming you already have 5/5 season 1 or season 2, the upgrade to Vindicator's is pretty much the only thing you can do, honestly.

If you're not decked out in arena gear already, or if your weapon could stand an upgrade to a season 1 weapon (which aren't bad at all), I suggest spending those honor points when season 3 comes out and season 1 gear will be purchasable with honor.

Yes forgot to mention I got 3 pieces of S2 and will have around 4K arena points saved up when S3 starts so I don't need S1 gear.

The only reason I did bother grinding the honor was I assumed all Vindicator items would have armor pentration and not just the ring. If I had known the actual upgrade I'm not sure I would have farmed honor so much!

Ahh well I guess WOW is all about min maxing so I will probably get them all!

I'm still not convinced about the new PVP trinket and will stick to Insignia and either Medalion or Bloodlust Brooch.

What are the other two pieces? Could you link your armory?
