First Gladiator's Piece
One more PvP piece bought. I picked up my Gladiator’s Dreadweave Gloves which were a great upgrade from the gloves I had been wearing.
But to tell you the truth… I could have picked them up over a week ago. I had worked so hard to get the honor and marks to buy them I didn’t want to see the number drop to zero.
Silly I know… since all you have to do is go PvP some more. (It can be really painful…don’t just take my word for it…BRK mentions what it is like for Alliance in our battlegroup.)
Now I have to think of my next piece…
Megan suggested getting a second piece of the Gladiator’s set to get the +35 resilience set bonus. Comparing my Shadow’s Embrace and Spellstrike Infusion sets to the Gladiator’s Dreadgear the legs or shoulders seem to be the best next upgrade.
The change that I would get from collected the Gladiator’s Dreadgear:

On top of this I really need to replace my green cloak. It is messing with all the pretty blues and purples. The Sergeant’s Heavy Cape is not too bad with only 7,548 honor needed… the painful part is the 20 Arathi Basin Mark of Honor.
*presses fingers to forehead*
I foresee many losses…20… as a possibility…and will get privileged to be farmed for honor and five capped on by Horde.

I thinks Out of Megan's right - get 2 pieces of Gladiator's for the bonus at the starts. Just picked up that cloak myself - it fits very nicely. It were a suck to get them AB marks, and now I's gonna need 40 more for a vindicator's belt. Oh, wells.
The possible bright future for PvP is the alleged faction PvP gear coming. But I really don't think it's the gear that causes losses. Whenever I go in with 4 other guild members, we always do a whole lot better individually and as a team. And I try to be helpful to other players, sometimes they actually listen; just not often. Or, even better, the gear is getting a huge upgrade to match the S3 and T6. I feel bad for the people doing that content, but it's helpful for my barely able to do 10 mans guild.
Grats on your S1 gloves, a solid piece, mainly because of the antipushback to Fear.

One of the times you see Noc in AV you should hook up with him. He has found some great uses for his Rogue in AV that helps earn honor and uses minimum resources. Something you may want to do with Sev too.
@Ratter
Thanks! /cheers to Horde killing. =P
@Gustov
Yea… I am hearing whispers of T6 gear for Badges of Justice too. I don’t know my thoughts on this yet. We shall wait and see.
@Megan
See this is why I love you… I was so focused on the upgrade to stats I completely skipped over the Fear improvement. It rocks!
