WotLK How to gear Hunter for PVP?

[Superman15]

Is gearing a hunter different in BGs than it is in Arenas?

I hear you want full PVE gear for BGs. Is that true?

[Lindwurm]

Going full PvE gear is possible in BGs and can be a fun thing on almost any class. However you will need people to peel for you and a pocket healer or you might get killed by anyone in blue gear who gets some CC on you.

The damage difference between a full PvE geared hunter and a PvP geared one is also not as big as you might think. The main stat you gain from going full PvE gear is Arp, which can be hit or miss. The extra crit is countered by Resilience so it's not that great.

After all going full PvE gear is not worth the risk. The main use of it is to get high crits against low geared players. However a two shot won't become a oneshot cause you dropped all your Resilience. And even if it's kinda going Overkill.
Against high geared and organized enemies you'll get killed very fast.

Personally i would recommend to keep a minimum of ~700 Resilience as a ''oneshot protection''.

Like Lindwurm said, you need resilience gear to fight other good PvP geared enemies, otherwise if you are focused you will melt. You dont need full PvP gear tho, endgame PvE weapons and trinket are "must have" items. You might mix in also some PvE offparts. In a result you should have like around 1000 resilience.
You can play full or nearly full PvE geared in Battlegrounds vs decent enemies + you need to run always in groups. VS good PvP geared enemies even in BGs you will die a lot, cuz if enemy is smart they will always kill PvE geared targets 1st.
