With savagery i got a DPS increase of about 2%. always active.

On a 3000 armor target, executioner does about 6.6% increase in DPS for the time its active. On a 15000 AC target a 3.4% increase.

I dunno, maybe you can link those sites in the OP, i've found em pretty useful.

to un-simplify;



70 ap = 5 dps. 2% of... 250 dps.

The speed of the weapon matters a bit too. A 3.6 speed s3 weapon (126.9 dps) equals a top end damage increase of ~18. Which is ~3.2% increase to damage per hit.

Executioner procs a 15 second duration to ignore 840 armor. Which on 3000 armor with sunders, you cap yourself out. they only have 400 armor after sunders, which means you only get a 3.65% increase to damage from executioner, when it procs.

While 15000 ac after sunders is 12400 armor, and with executioner, that's 11560 armor, which is a difference of about ~1.74% dps.

If they don't have sunders, 3000 armor after exe is 2160 armor, from ~22.13% to ~16.98%, or a 5.15% difference.

15000 armor after exe is ~1.40% difference.



Soo.... in retrospect. Savagery gives a 5 dps increase. While executioner gives a % based increase to dps. So if you have low level gear (blues anyone), you'll get more bang for your buck from savagery. While top end gear gets more bang from executioner.

::EDIT::

After reading this a few times, I think I might add, that given certain circumstances, savagery functions well in any given situation. Executioner functions well on clothies. It depends on what your gearing towards, and I find them both useful.

But if you tight on cash, and just starting out on PvP. You don't need to fork out the big bucks to get an executioner enchant, just get savagery. IMHO.

::EDIT x2::

Fixed armor calculations from a lvl 73 mob to a lvl 70 player... ha.

70 AP is a 5 DPS increase if you just stand there and autoattack without ever using a special attack, critting (or missing/getting dodges). It's pretty safe to assume that's not the case.



Well, there's not really a lot more in there other than what I commented on. "ENCHANTS ARE GOOD" and "HERE IS EVERY POSSIBLE PVP SPEC EVER MENTIONED" aren't complex subjects, and in general the spec advice you give is pretty good.

To be honest, given how much I see Merc. Gladiator around Shattrath I assumed it was the default title for S2, rather than only being for the top team. *shrug* My mistake.



It's what I do.

That was before Arena, now that there is Arena PvP has changed dramatically. Noone takes BG's seriously anymore with all the honor bots and how easy it is to get honor in general.



There really aren't that many merciless gladiators, and I doubt most of them are on your server. There can be a max of 20 Mglads, and that's only if every team that was #1 was filled with players and every player got 30% of the games played. So in reality there only should be 10 Mglads in a Battle Group.



What else is there really in PvP? Having the right make up followed by the right spec pretty much makes Arena. If you have any suggestions, please tell.

First off, I think your guide is great. I've shyed away from raiding and am trying to get into PvP. I've done all you've suggested, but the charge/intercept macro doesn't seem to be working properly for me. It puts me into Battle Stance and charges me just fine, but when I'm in combat, it doesn't switch me over to Beserker Stance, but it will have me intercept if I already am in Berserker Stance. Am I not making the macro right? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That's actually a little trickey of a question. The reason being is that you can really survive with only 77 +hit, and still do good. I've seen warriors that run around with 77, others get the 4 agi/4 hit gem (and put it in their neck) to get over the 5% hit required. It really works both ways IMO, so you could do either. I don't suggest dropping the S2/S3 ring for either of those ones though. Hope that helped a little.
