How do I get this Dread Gladiator plate set?

How do I get the Alliance season 26 dread gladiator plate armor set (I’m looking for the more ‘dull-colored’ version)? As is the norm, I can only really find stuff posted about this online before it was ever released, when everyone was really uncertain as to how to obtain it, or how long it would be obtainable for.

Can it only be obtained from rated BG’s and arena’s (2v2’s?)? Or can it be attained via regular BG’s? I haven’t had a great opportunity to get this armor yet, and would certainly like to at some point - but do I need to hurry? Is this season my only chance to get rating 2100 or whatever in order to be able to get it all, or will this be available to acquire later via marks of honor, etc.?

Can you be more specific about which set you’re talking about?

Not really seeing any color variations there.

I tried to post a link but to my aggravation, it said I wasn’t allowed. I’ll try again here.

In text, it’s this set:
[Dread Gladiator’s Plate Headcover]
[Dread Gladiator’s Plate Shoulders]
[Dread Gladiator’s Plate Chestguard]

So not the one with a lion’s shoulder pad. And in regards to the color variations - I am not talking about the color variation that pertains to the set which includes [7th Legionnaire’s Shoulderplates] i.e. [Lion’s Roar Pauldrons]

It’s confusing because the battle season 2 one, Sinister Gladiator’s Plate, is the only one that says it’s a limited time set - and i dont particularly care for that one anyway. But, I’ve seen online how the Dread Gladiator set still requires rated rating to acquire.

I hope this narrows it down well enough - it’s frustrating how unclear this all is. And thanks for any help!

I was discussing the same thing with someone here, but I was lookong for the aspirant set.

They haven’t added any of the ensembles to the pvp vendor, and their way thet have been handling things lately tells me they will not release them this time.

Doesn’t seem to be available at the moment – probably going to have to wait for an ensemble to be made available and purchasable with Marks of Honor. :\

Well actually I already have
[Dread Gladiator’s Plate Legguards]
and
[Dread Gladiator’s Plate Greaves]
so they are available

But are you implying that they have announced that they will make this purchasable with marks of honor thus far? Or are we to assume we really do need to just grind rated stuff in order to be able to get it? If so, which rated pvp is the best way to acquire it?

EDIT 3/15/19: In other words - is the only set currently showing ‘limited time set’, Sinister Gladiator’s Plate (for my plate wearers), reliable? Is everything that is NOT showing limited time set going to be available forever?
