Should you stop leveling to grind gear to help you level?
The open world in wrath is real easy. The highest tier level 70 pvp gear probably won’t be replaced until like level 77 or 78, but in the time it would take you to grind out level 70 pvp gear you could just get to level 78.
I’d say if you have the honor already, buy a few pieces, otherwise, just keep pushing forward.

I was in full brutal on my Prot Pal which is nice. Solo grinded Bottanica. Then 78-80 doing BGs and farming converted heroes. When you hit max level you have honor ready to buy great epic PvP gear to get into RDF. You have gold to gem/enchant or do with as you need.
I would do Winstergrasp when it’s up soon as you can que for it. Be honor capped as you ding. Life is easier cause you can just buy epic gear and do damage go right to farming.
If you have the honor, yes. If not, it’s not worth going out of your way to get when you can just…start leveling

You should be doing the 2 daily BGs. You can just Que for them while questing/lvling. Also you get Arena points, exp, honor.
Your overall progression will just be better if you weave in some PvP and when you ding 80 you are ready to pump your GS.
This topic is about the level 70 pvp gear. By the time you’re leveling in Northrend if you do any pvp, that honor is best saved for level 80
I know I commented on that above. The brutal gear is great I used it to solo level faster. More damage, faster farming, easier questing, more honor to buy more gear.
You should be honor capped multiple times before 80. If you are 70 pick up some Epic brutal pieces throw some Wrath gems in them. Life is way easier. When you can que for WG do that get 8-10k honor per match and you need the WG marks/stonekeeper shards. Also the weekly WG quest is a lot of exp/honor.
I leveled my warrior almost exclusively through an AV weekend and WG, and only had enough spare honor beyond cap for a mount. If you’re doing the occasional BG and WG while questing and doing dungeons you’ll be lucky to even hit honor cap once
2 daily BG’s that give great experience and honor. First BG win is about 6500 honor.
WG is every 3 hours you get typically 6-10k honor. Lower end if your team gets blasted and you don’t get many KBs. In 2 days just going for the quest in there you will be capped.
There are what 5 weekly quest all reward valuable experience, shards, honor. 3500 ish each.
I was capped multiple times. The brutal gear allowed me to solo farm Bottanica for gold faster exp. Then I weaved in my PvP and the brutal gear allows you to get more honor per BG. I was then honor capped and dinged by doing converted heroes fast exp and gold for when I ding.
Also the new WG vendor has some good PvP items for PvE so you want the WG marks.
I’m trying to provide some perspective for fast progression and being ready for when you ding 80. You will be able to Que right into Gamma and have an easier time leveling.
The problem with AV now is it’s not good honor unless you farm and you don’t have a lot of time to farm cause of the zerg. You will get more honor in a loss if you solo go for KBs as that rewards the most honor. Something that is a lot easier in brutal gear.
The brutal gear is very impactful for damage while leveling questing. It will give you more honor while PvPing getting you to your goal faster.
You seem to be looking at this from the perspective of someone that mainly or exclusively pvps
Yes, it’s worth it. The Brutal gear lasted my rogue and DK all the way to 80.
Save your honor for 80 and just use items from the AH, quests, and heirlooms (if you have them). With the cost of furious gear and relentless going down, it just doesn’t make sense to waste honor leveling; unless you plan on making a 79 twink.
Both PvP and PvE are extremely vital to each other in Wrath especially this version. They just are. Your gaming experience will be way easier if you do both and I am just pointing that out is all.
Upgrading to epic Brutal gear will feel great and help with all your progression for 70-80. Getting daily PvP arena points while leveling is just bonus. Getting WG marks for great 251 slots is bonus.
You can then Que immediately for Gamma and start your PvE progression. If you then decide to Que any Arena you have a head start on Arena pts and can grab your 258 T2 weapon since they made that easily available. Which doing things like this allows you to focus more on your BiS PvE slots and spending badges more effectively.
I started tanking Gamma dungeons with zero def it was fine. I was able to easily acquire both PvP/PvE sets by doing both.
Is the 70 gear worth it? Yes and doing all content is worth it for a better experience to accomplishing your goals. When I hit 80 I also farmed out about 6k gold.
Save your gold. Buy the brutal gear get more gold/honor.
Whether that’s true or not has nothing to do with my point. If you aren’t going to reach honor cap then it’s not worth spending what honor you do have on level 70 gear when you can instead save it for level 80 gear, and the average player isn’t going to reach honor cap before level 80 unless 90% of their exp comes from pvp, or they take more than a week to get from 70 to 80
Your point isn’t important to the thread. I’m trying to provide information and hopefully the OP or anyone reading it finds it valuable. Now they can integrate this info into their daily gameplay for efficient progression and being ready when they ding 80.
You are going to reach honor cap if you do what I said. In fact I also pre-bought PvP enchants, gems as well cause I was at cap. The brutal gear will reward faster, easier progression and more honor. This is something you seem to be not aware of.
This is just not true. You will honor cap from 78-80. If you are 70 you should buy the brutal gear and make everything you are doing easier.
Hope this info helps. Now time to get my workout in.
OP’s question is literally “should I get 70 pvp gear or just start questing for Wrath greens”. You’re the one going off on unrelated tangents
So, primarily pvping to level, just like I said
This is about as blatant a lie as it gets
Which I answered and you didn’t like my answer.
Yes get the 70 brutal gear for the 10th time.
You aren’t and have a problem reading what I said. I literally told you I solo leveled in Bottanica with brutal gear. I then leveled form 78-80 on converted heroes. I did 95% PvE and was honor capped multiple times. Please take some time to digest the information I’m providing.
I also had about 6k gold because I literally just farmed trash PvE from 70-80.
It really isn’t. What part are you held up on. You can honor cap in 2 days in WG alone with the quest. Then you have the daily BGs. Tada… Capped. Also if you have brutal gear you will get more honor. I’ve literally done this while farming almost entirely PvE to level.
I’ll be gone for a bit gotta run life calls but please digest the information I posting and understand the numbers behind it.
My guy YOU replied to ME
And I leveled my Warrior 95% through pvp on AV weekend and only ever had slightly above cap. You are, 100%, lying through your teeth right now
Wearing PvP gear does not give extra honor
You’ve said you were leaving twice now yet are still responding
I got full Brutal for my DK to level in Northrend and it made a pretty big difference in my opinion, havent found any upgrades better then what i have and im sitting at 77, also being on a pvp world makes it quite handy. But thats my two cents, if you got the honor to spend I’d do it.
