WotLK Oathbinder or Wrathful Glai Axe as 2h for Arms?

[n4x4]

Hello,

would you rather recommend the Oathbinder or Rathfull 2h Axe for Arms pvp?
Oathbinder dmg is definetly higher, but is missing around 100 res, around 100 stam and wont profit from orc axe specialization.

What would you guys recommend? :)

oathbinder with 6 resilience gems in your gear is a better net gain than t2 axe with 6 arp gems due to higher weapon damage and much more crit. polearm also has an extra gem slot. the racial is w/e cos more avoidance also = more overpower. only downside is the loss of almost 1000 HP.

Thanks for the help! :)

To what exactl does the 179 agi equate in ap / Crit / armor? Does it make up the missing 100 ap?
Should I actually try to put 4-6 Res into the gear to make up for oathbringer or just go balls to the walls?

That 100 ap difference is more than offset with higher base dmg.

179 agi is equal to about 110 crit ratting + 90 armor + 100 dodge ratting.
