Gearing up for Lvl 80 Pvp without doing any PvE?

[:1]Suppose you get to lvl 80 and have a few pieces of your PvP set from honor accumulated in the earlier brackets..

Is it possible to stand a chance in this bracket by grinding and toughing it out until you've gotten enough honor to decently gear yourself? I dislike PvE (raiding) very much and do not wish to go that route to gear up for PvP..|||Just do Wintergrasp. Heck, I actually use WG to gear up my PvE toons a bit faster - while the resilience isn't needed for PvE, most of the stats are more than sufficient for both.|||Do PvE. The Emblems can be traded for PvP items. Just talk to the Emblem of Triumph vendor.|||Quote:

The OP made it pretty clear that they do not want to do pve.|||Quote:

Well, I may have sounded a bit extreme but I don't mind doing a dungeon or two every other day.. in a PUG. It's still a nice change of pace from BGing.. What I don't really wish to do is have to join a raid guild and be expected to raid every day on a set schedule to get better gear.|||Oh, wow... I completely misread his post. I thought it said Gearing up for level 80 PvP without doing PvP, lol.|||Quote:

IIRC you can get some nice PvP gear in VoA. It's probably the easiest raid you can get and PUGable with minimal gear. If you don't mind raiding a bit, that would be the thing to do, especially if you can get a class run, where everyone in the raid is a different class/spec (meaning no competition for gear drops). Other than that, Wintergrasp is the way to go. Get into a cannon and fire away at anything that moves. Doing dungeons while you have WG will give you a shed load of stone keeper shards, which can be traded in for tokens that grant 2000 honour each.

Bear in mind that this information is 5months old now (when I stopped playing) so if things have changed, feel free to correct me.|||You can gear up for 80s PvP without setting foot in any instance (let alone raid).

The main issue will be a weapon, and you can simply spend ~7.5k on a Battered Hilt. You'll have to trudge through a few instances then, but you'll get a nice weapon out of it. Other than that, you'll just have to farm three instances and hope for a nice drop.|||Quote:

Certainly you can do this, but that would mean doing level 80 BGs in questing greens: not a good idea imo unless you have a deathwish. The last time I went in there with my full T9 priest, I got slaughtered. Now, if you have plenty of money you can buy the various epics for your class but these get very very pricey indeed.|||The difference between quest greens and t9 is exceedingly small when it comes to PvP.
