1. Retri or Arms for a casual pvp player?

    Hey guys.

    I want to start playing in icecrown,i played both class in wotlk,i can play both in a decent level so i dont care about how hard to play that classes.

    I didnt want to do a single raid,so my question is retri or arms is better if u only have pvp gear? warrior is really useless without pve offset?

    Also i didnt want to play arena ,just bg-s. My plan is to donate the lowest,buy gold and skip ques,farm the full furious set with wf/rele offparts. Then i want to do the weekly 10 arena until i get rele 5/5set.

    I also mentioned i donate,and buy some gold,i want to spend that gold to buy the "battered hilt" ingame,is this weapon decent ? Lator on maybe i donate for a better weapon or trinkets,and thats it,i dont want to spend more money.

    What do you think,what class should i pick?

  2. First thing u should ask yourself is whether you want to play on Icecrown if you only plan on doing BGs. On Blackrock u start with a starter pvp gear. You can also make both classes on Blackrock and see which you like best.Gearing on Icecrown without doing pve will be hard. Plus i dont think u can buy furious 5/5 main set here - there is only rele and wrathful.

    That said if you dont plan to PvE I would go Retri. Warrior needs the pve off parts and a pocket healer to dominate in BG. Plus you can always change to a healer if you get bored of retri.

    IF u choose Icecrown then:
    Donating the minimum is a must from my point of view - just so u can skip que. If you got the New Years gift with a 40% discount code, I would donate 20 dollar/euro to get 24 coins and buy a bis weapon with the 40% discount code (thats 14 coins for a weapon u will never replace). After that you will still have 10 coins for gold or whatever u like.

  3. sounds nice,i want to play icecrown cuz of wpvp and etc.

    How this 40% discount work? where i can check it?

  4. I found it in promotions but in the "realm" it says outland and its a 6.0 point code,i can use that 6 point on icecrown?

  5. Aww I got ****ed then :( 20% coupon code

  6. I would not play an Arms Warrior without a pocket healer. Ret is less gear dependent and Avenging Wrath can penetrate a portion of the damage reduction effects on your target (including that provided by Resilience) through the Sanctified Wrath talent. You will be sitting at around 5.6k GS with full Relentless, Wrathful offset pieces, and the Battered Hilt sword -- just enough to kill a weakened or unsuspecting target, or at the very least make them rethink their tactics. That said, you will not have the survivability of a Warrior outside of your long defensive cooldowns.

    And pay attention to what he says and the screenshots in these posts:
    Actually here you go for some pictures of the FUN I have had in past 6months on my Ret Pally - I was mostly playing only 1-3x / month on weekends and mostly BGs only - like 3-4x games / evening and log off and I HAD A ****ING BLAST doing that - in fact that was a sole reason I kept WoW installed and slowly over the past 6 months I kept playing my Ret more :

    Here is the gear I used for those screenshots you see up : http://armory.warmane.com/character/...ecrown/summary

    (no Mourne, no PvE offsets - mostly just regular BiS PvP lvl 264 off set gear that you buy for honor - including boots, also just regular 264 rings)

    Oh and I LOVE ENGENEERING!!! If I could just swap it for a profession on my War without needing to lvl it I would pick it on War too! Is by far BEST profession for BGs! Hands down!
    And some of my LATEST SOLO BGs -- without healer:

    It's not like this all the time, but definitely MOST of the time :D

    Also got some new PvP Achieves :D

    http://armory.warmane.com/character/...ecrown/profile

    Working on Battlemaster :D

    What helped me personally A LOT! Was doing a lot of Duelz before SW

    Also changed a spec a bit

    And gotta say Shadowmourne is A MUST! If you want to be able to do this :D

    Or you have to be Rama (shoutout to him) with Oathbinder and GOD skillz :D
    Much of it will come down to personal preference, but if you look at his screenshots, you can clearly see how his non-BiS Ret out performs his BiS Arms Warrior on a regular basis.

  8. Retri all the way. Arms is simply unplayable if you are going solo.

  9. I et is less gear dependent and Avenging Wrath can penetrate a portion of the damage reduction effects on your target (including that provided by Resilience) through the Sanctified Wrath talent.
    Sanctified Wrath does NOT go thru resilience ..

  10. Retribution for solo play. Being able to heal and dispel yourself is invaluable. Also pretty good quality of life perk in the form of crusader aura and pursuit of justice talent - gonna help you start the fights you know you can win while saving you from the ones you are sure you will lose, aside from general usefulness. Also a lot more versatile should you decide to chase arena ratings, raid, etc.
