Regardless of that it varies per realm, which makes the rating requirement flawed in some cases like I stated in my 2nd post, they are still the best weapons attainable through PVP, meant for the best PVPers only, just like the best PVE weapons are in the grasp of the best PVE'ers as well. Seriously, the rating requirement is a good idea, you can still buy season 2 weapons which are only slightly worse than the season 3 weapons (assuming the progress from s2 -> s3 is the same as s1 -> s2), which should be more than enough if you're not doing top end PVP (which you're not if you can't even get past the 1850 rating required for season 3 weapons).Originally Posted by Narzania
Stormherald is a rare exception, mainly because they found it neccesary to put a slower speed on it than the PVP weapons (where slower weapons shine the most), and also because mace spec is grossly overpowered right now. Stop looking at warriors with BT and Hyjal loot. You are comparing season 2 (SSC) to Hyjal/BT, this is like comparing tier 5 to tier 6, or even better, a karazhan raider (tier 4) complaining that the best PVP weapons (season 2) are better for PVE than his own weapons. Why they put resilience rings in SSC is beyond me, but the reason for that probably is to allow players with 0 PVP gear get some PVP gear through other means than PVPing, in which they will get totally obliterated because of their lack of PVP gear.Did you ever check the Armory to see what weapons most warriors in top brackets have? Most of them have SH (dont u need Vortexed i.e. PvE to get the SH crafted?) or some insane BT weapons + some insane PvE rings (also with 25 resilience dont remember name though) but ofc what I mean is that you cannot walk into an Arena with full PvE gear- you will certainly lose. A combination of both is the best.
