I usually run with a full group of guildies, but sometimes we pug a dps or two. The pugger who did the most damage I've seen from a pugger was rocking almost a full set of pvp gear.

You'll do great. Enemies won't be able to crit you, and you'll be taking so much less damage thanks to all your resilience.

Prolly had a frost cauldron buff. With a few mobs to AE and that buff it's not uncommon to push 120k dps.

Idk anything about cauldrons, I was basically just avoiding stuff on the ground and dpsing lol

Idk what my dps was either, I don't really run any addons and never thought to ask as I figured it was abysmal and if nobody said anything then it was good enough and holy run on sentence! tongue

You should be fine as long as you know your rotation, pay attention to the hit/exp caps your class needs, stay out of the fire, ect. At the start of Cata PvP gear was easier to get than heroic gear. I geared up in quite a few pvp pieces just to get me going. I ended up not replacing them until I got into raids because there wasn't much that was better to be found in heroics!

Seems to me I recall there being generous amounts of hit on PvP gear which is a real bonus for some classes. Yes dual-wielders, I am talking about you. I remember gearing my Rogue and having to worry about clearing 17% hit at the very minimum with an eye for more and the PvP pieces made that much easier.

I've only got like 5.3% hit but most of my casts are instant so recasting isn't much of an issue.

I can't even imagine healing on someone other than my paladin. As far as I know none of the other healing classes can match my mana regen and I still find myself running low often.

You only need 6% for heroics. Not a big deal.

Don't know about casters but melee classes do better DPS in pvp gear than the crap PVE gear that drops from normals and quests, so yeah, probably.

The same player that did great in the pvp gear would do better in pve gear. You are missing an entire stat for every piece of gear and the gear is itemized for pvp.

1st I never said heroic pve gear. 2nd even heroic pve gear (randoms) you still need to do heroics for valor. Unless you can compensate that in FL and T11.

371 pvp gear is easily good enough for heroics.




For PVE, ilevel 371 pvp gear > ilevel 333 or 346 pve gear in almost all cases.

I would rather have 359 pve gear as opposed to 371 pvp gear, for pve, however.

My hunter did 18-19k DPS in the old PvP gear (ilvl 352). Once he got full ZA/ZG gear with enchants and crap he did 22k dps. So the difference between pvp gear and pve gear with enchants was a measly 4k difference. You'll do fine happy And because you aren't retarded Arc, you'll probably smoke most of the others in the group.
