Hello all
With the need for versatility would it be better for a fresh 60 guardian Druid that plans to raid starting in 9.2 to gear up with pvp gear or still go the route of dungeons and keys ?
A bit of both to be honest.
What Kelyselen said.
PvP gear does have the advantage of having versatility on basically every piece of gear, though you’ll only be able to get it to a maximum of 216 ilevel (or 220 if you somehow kit yourself out completely with conquest gear) if you don’t do rated arena/BG’s.
Korthia can net you 233 gear in pretty much every slot, though not all those pieces have versatility, and it’s pretty expensive to get a full set of 6/6 upgraded korthia gear… (…that said, if opening the korthian tokens can drop gear with tertiary stats on them… It could be a way to get a decent ilevel set of gear with Leech/Speed/Avoidance on them – it’s a little nutty having 15% leech AND 15% speed.)
M+ is probably the most straightforward option for gearing, but, again, like Korthia, not every piece is going to have versatility.
It would be faster to gear up by doing M+.
When it comes to bears, item level is still superior,
Yes, versa us nice. But 220 Mastery piece will still replace 213 versatility piece.
252 Mastery will still replace 246 Versatility.
Focus on getting item level up.
Get UFR for your legendary. (Talent it with Incarn & pop it before key starts as pre-buff)
This is the way, unless you are going to be able to get a high pvp rating. You can get ksm in two weeks of m+ and without a valor cap have all your gear at 246 is probably another week. In a vacuum haste/vers is best but agil/stam outweigh that.
