I recently respecced my prot warrior to arms/fury for PVP. I'm more into instance running but my group is taking a little break(leveling another group to 70) so I decided to PVP a little on my free time.
My warrior PvP set right now consist of the rep set introduced in the last patch. While I'm not doing so bad, I'm not doing great either. I can deal serious damage but I get killed pretty easily.
Right now I have enough marks and honor for either the S1 head and gloves or the epic weapon. I know I should probably focus on my weapon first since my damage dealing is my main attribute but the head and gloves would give me that much more survivability.
I would like to hear the opinion of more experienced warrior. The extra str I would get from the gear kinda makes up for the extra AP on the weapon. So it comes down to either an increase of 20 dps vs and increase of 500HP and armor.
Being able to take 1 or 2 extra hit seems like a good thing but if I can get that rogue down faster then I won't take that extra hit.
So what's your take on this? Weapon or head/gloves in priority?
I will likely get the rest of the set later but I'm looking at the best way to improve my performance in order to pull my weight a little bit more in the long honor grind it will be to acquire the entire set.
