What WoW foods do you think would smell the best?
MMO-Champion
Hello all,
Now that 5.3 is out what do you guys think are the best gems to use now? Before the patch I had 54% pvp power and also many pvp resi. But now with the change I have only 39% PvP power!
So what gems should warrior use now more?
Like for the blue: Stormy River's Heart Red: Tense Imperial Amethyst and for yellow: Mystic Sun's Radiance
or!
for red and blue: Tense Imperial Amethyst and for yellow Mystic Sun's Radiance?
I just lost it a littel bit haha

Strength = pure damage
PvP power = less dmg than strength but the only way to increase healing from second wind/victory rush/enraged etc... all your heals.
Resilience = pure survival.
Adjust for what's best for you. Maybe find a balance? I think strength in red, tense(str/pvppower) in blue and resplendent(str/resi) in yellow.
Meaning strength oriented.Last edited by Baracuda; 2013-05-22 at 11:30 AM.

I think PvP power in gems is pretty much worthless now. MAYBE for getting a socket bonus for blue sockets (use purple gem), but that's it.

I'm with Osmeric - the only reason to use a PvP power gem is to match a socket (such as in gloves).
Balancing Strength vs. Resilience is an individual case thing. Are you running a comp where you get focused? Is your healer struggling to keep you up? Is your healer exceptionally good at keeping you up? Is it a burst comp? Etc.

This is correct. However, with D stance being 25% and our self-heals being god-awful I see no reason to not just gem pure strength and neglect pvp power and resil. Originally Posted by Baracuda
