You don’t need BiS to arena

If you’re doomin’ up the forums because you can’t farm enough honor to get pre arena BiS due to long queue times - you weren’t going to amount to squat in arena to begin with.

The people competing at 1800+ are the only NEETs where that gear matters - and even then it’s not as impactful as you think.

If you’re sitting around acting surprised about queue times as horde - you didn’t do enough research prior to creating a character that you will pour literal months of playtime into.

If you’re using honor BG gear as an excuse to not queue arenas right now - you’re a chump.

Blizzard didn’t do anything about horrible horde queues at the start of P2 in Classic and they aren’t going to do anything about it now.

Suck it up and go play the game instead of QQing about “muh BiS”.

Even I know this is a stretch :joy:

But still, going to say this to horde players, you made your bed now sleep in it. Or you reap what you sow.

People should get over it and queue.

You’re going to insta-die to Mage Rogue no matter how much resil you have.

Exactly. The Sweat Club membership waiting list is full. Truth: 99 9999% of you can’t become a member unless you worked your way up on the inside.

The one’s who don’t know this, won’t know this, or accept it. Content creators are selling them dirty little pills: like and subscribe so I can afford to put together my next video “P2 TBC You Aren’t Prepared Until I Rehash This Wayback Thread or Private Server Data Mine”

Translation: private server horde chads are laughing harder than alliance carebears like me who at least know better than to bother.

It depends which classes you play.

If you play a warlock who has to be inherently tanky and will take a ton of damage. You will NEED resilience.

If you play a Rogue where its mostly about short games and locking down targets then Resilience might not be that important.

Classes differ greatly when it comes to gear.

This is more likely a skill issue than a gear issue. Many many people are playing 3s right now with less than optimal setups.

Thanks!!! I was totally uninformed that gathering resil gear for arenas wouldn’t have any affect on gameplay! I just knew endless and all the other tbc private servers were doing way too much when they gave us arena sets. All those top players with full resil gear can pound sand because they don’t know what they’re doing !!1!1!1!1

Lmao if you were a pserver NEET Blackrock R1 Chadiator then you already had your 75k banked with 100 of each mark and were capping flags with premades in EOTS by first weekend of launch.

The people whining about this stuff are fresh or washed.

Anyone with serious arena experience on pservers can go push 1600 - 1700 with dungeon gear and Halaa tokens.

s2 is bis in pvp+pve for some classes (holy paladin for example).

s1 gear wasn’t mandatory to earn s2 gear which is why they’re called ‘welfare’ epics.

I would’ve if I played prepatch. I was preoccupied playing arenas on endless.

But to further your point I have pretty much no pvp gear while being 1650 rofl

Love getting slammed by idiots in full pvp gear because I don’t have any

Exploit early exploit often applies even more when it’s a rushed expansion launch to pad Q3 reports.

They are top because they have resil? Insert a billion laughy tear smileys.

Ziqo literally won a 2v2 tournament in Classic in partial ZG gear against AQ geared players - while having to stop and make water mid fight because he forgot to do it before the duel started.

Resil makes a difference, but at the very start of S1 it’s not huge until you’re breaking into skill capped players that don’t make a lot of mistakes.

These streamer videos are always staged for views. If you are taking streamer’s videos/content at face value and believing it not to be setup, or 1 out of 1000, you are being taken for a fool.

What streamer videos?

Anyone that cares about fast queues or having all the gear at the arena start should have already gone alliance. Seeing as how the horde queue was bad FOR ALL OF CLASSIC; this should have been obvious by now.

I’m pretty sure in original BC I just did 5s in pve gear to get arena gear in season 1. don’t remember ever grinding BGs to buy blues
