Which Wrathful Gladiator's pieces are right for a PVP Disc Priest?
Edit #1: This post should be titled "crit, regen, or haste...which one works best for a PVP Priest?"
I have pulled up the profiles on many of the top arena and BG disc priests. Here is what I've found from a pool of the top players:
Crit ranges from 11 to 19%, the average is about 11 to 13%.
Haste ranges from 150 to over 1000. The majority had well over 300 haste, but did not exceed 650 haste.
Regen ranges from 105 to over 600. (Spirit ranges from 100 to 900.) The average was 580 to 700, but not much lower than that.
The "average priest" leaned towards the items with haste. Every single one chose at least one of the hit items, which I didn't even think to link! I think this is likely for dispels.
OK...I had a couple thousand stone shards that I just converted into honor. It came out to about 130k honor, enough to make a few honor purchases in Orgrimmar.
I had no idea whatsoever which pieces I should be focusing on! I mean, there are at least 3 viable options for each slot, ALL of them are item level 264:
Wrist (ilvl 264, cost 43400 honor)
Wrathful Gladiator's Cuffs of Alacrity has haste
Wrathful Gladiator's Cuffs of Dominance has crit
Wrathful Gladiator's Cuffs of Salvation has spirit
Cloak (ilvl 264, cost 52200 honor)
Wrathful Gladiator's Cloak of Deliverance has spirit
Wrathful Gladiator's Cloak of Dominance has crit
Wrathful Gladiator's Cloak of Subjugation has haste
Wrathful Gladiator's Cloak of Salvation has MP5
Neck (ilvl 264, cost 52200 honor)
Wrathful Gladiator's Pendant of Deliverance has spirit
Wrathful Gladiator's Pendant of Dominance has crit
Wrathful Gladiator's Pendant of Subjugation has haste
Wrathful Gladiator's Pendant of Salvation has mp5
How do I know which Wrathful Gladiator's pieces are best for me as a Disc Priest? I am going to ask priests and read up on it, but I already believe that I am going to accumulate some more haste-centric pieces based on my research. So, today I'll be purchasing the Cuffs of Alacrity and the Cloak of Subjugation. I'll also pick up the ring.

Part of it depends on the setup you're running. Haste gems, among other things, let you spam purge faster. If your comp plays longer games, spirit gear would be more valuable.
ReplyDeleteYou can try Arena Junkies. There is some really good content in the forums, but also a LOT of stupid posts and epeen contests to weed through.
Good stuff, thanks JLK. I def used Arena Junkies to sift through some of the top players and what they're using...I was surprised to see how important haste was to PVP priests.
ReplyDeleteI will be checking out their forums as I start venturing back into the PVP world. I am obtaining gear ahead of time, since I can't do much effective PVP with 1000ms latency.
