Instead of trying to be defensive and point fingers, try reading the actual words and their intent. I am talking about people who ding 85, buy a set of PvP gear off the AH and hop into ZA 1st thing. But no, I guess asking anyone like you to be observant instead of chomping at the bit to get butt hurt would be too much to ask.


Words mean things. Leaving out the bolded words above leaves out specific intent and the focus of your original question. Maybe instead of chomping at the bit to get butt hurt (if it isn't too much to ask) you might be very clear in your first reply about which set, how many pieces, etc. instead of jumping all over people for not reading your mind.

Just sayin...

Don't know about casters, but melee classes do better DPS in the crafted PVP set than they do in the blue gear that drops in normal dungeons, so there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to run normals in this game, ever (unless casters suck in the pvp gear I guess).

The crafted pvp gear already has the hit needed for heroics so it can be gemmmed/chanted for more dps than the PVE gear from the retarded normals.

Go figure, blizzard B team at its finest.

Really? I never bought the PVP set, I usually picked up the BoE PVE epics and started from there. Didn't realize they were that decent. (Or that sucky, depending on your perspective. )

And the pvp honor gear is now leaps and bounds better than the crap PVE gear from normals.

Yea, cuz a brand new 85 has SO many options for PvP gear. It's okay though, I know you are nitpicking just so you can get another dig in, it is modus operandi here. I am sorry that I have to spell out every single aspect of an idea for your limited understanding. But frankly, since I know you are just interested in mocking the next guy, I just don't give a damn whether you are able to find a loophole in what I said or not. Most people, who are not interested in pointing out the errors in what someone says, know that lvl 85 blue crafted PvP gear is easy to get and will get you into Zuls, the minute you ding 85. Hell, I am having a hard time thinking of another way to ding 85 and immediately deck yourself out in head to toe PvP gear and enter ZA except to wear crafted blue gear.

While this idea has merit, it does nothing to address the fact that in normals you can at least learn the fights (mostly).

You really want people to slave it away in normals, to obtain a blue set of gear that is not as good as the starter pvp set? JUST so it says "PVE" instead of "PVP"???


Thus endeth the lesson, and let the laughter continue at the idiocy of your train of thought.


Edit: What you want is for people to be RAID geared, so they can CARRY you through your daily heroics. It's ok, you can admit it. It would be impossible to think any less of you anyway.



Hrrr dddrrrrr, derpa.

Re-read what I said, maybe if you can get past your obsession with PvP gear, you might see the part about learning the fights. Or does that come with PvP gear automatically?

Do you even know the name of my character, have you ever played with me? Naw, didn't think so, you just wanna feel better about yourself by putting me down, I understand, low self esteeem is hard to overcome.

I can out dps most people on the hunter I play. I don't expect to be carried, but I am tired of carrying people.

I am able to "learn the fight" after just one try, or the first time by reading the strategy on the internet.


I know I'm more intelligent than most, but still, I don't think its that hard, even for the average wowtard.

There's not much to learn about fights anyways. Don't stand in fire and dps as hard as you can, what is so hard about that?

Peo, I have 8 level 85 toons.

Do you really think I need to "learn" a dungeon 8 different times, just because I am on an alt?? Or is it logical that I got it the first 20 or so times I ran it with my 1st level 85??

So, yah, toons 2-8, you bet your ass I'm hopping in heroics in that blue set of crafted pvp gear. (which is a moot point, as all of my chars have better now.)

What bugs me about you, is that you automatically assume that when you see someone in that gear, its their first rodeo, and you are going to have to "carry" them.


It is an ignorant stereotype, and you are too blinded by that ignorance to admit it.

Guess what? I'm leveling a 9th toon.

Guess what? His crafted pvp set is already made, sitting in the bank.

Guess what? He'll be hitting heroics about 8 seconds after he hits 85, and will never have been in the first "normal" at 85.


And on a side note, people with GOOD pvp gear, are 9 out of 10 times WAY BETTER players than people who show up in dungeon gear. They have more awareness, better control over their characters, and know more about the other classes in the group than the law allows.

Because, you know, PVE is hard.
