I’m putting together some items for Fingle’s PvP set, and thought I’d document it here.
The idea is to put together a set that’s as much crafted gear as possible (including rings and neck), to minimise the need to do PvP wearing nub PvE gear in order to get items with resilience.
Non-PvP gear that Fingle is starting with (due to a lack of alternatives):
Titansteel Guardian (with the +50SP enchant)
Prison Manifest
Gwyneth’s Runed Dragonwand
Darkmoon Card: Illusion
Mercurial Alchemist Stone
Now for the crafted items. First, make your Frostsavage Battlegear, a cloak and some Jewelry
Frostsavage Belt
Frostsavage Boots
Frostsavage Bracers
Frostsavage Cowl
Frostsavage Gloves
Frostsavage Leggings
Frostsavage Robe
Frostsavage Shoulders
Cloak of Crimson Snow
Sky Sapphire Amulet
Savage Titanium Band + 1x Durable Monarch Topaz
Runed Mana Band
Total mats required to make that all:
31x Bolts of Imbued Frostweave
73x Crystallized Fire
33x Crystallized Earth
4x Eternal Shadow
4x Iceweb Spider Silk
16x Eternium Thread
8x Titanium Bar
2x Twilight Opal
2x Sky Sapphire
1x Monarch Topaz (or buy the cut gem on the AH)
Time for enchants! (Tip: There’s a handy filter on WoWHead for item enhancements with resilience)
Head: Arcanum of Burning Mysteries
(to eventually be replaced by the Arcanum of Dominance)
Shoulder: Lesser Inscription of the Crag
(to eventually be replaced by the Inscription of Dominance)
Enchant Chest – Exceptional Resilience
Enchant Cloak – Greater Speed
Enchant Bracers – Superior Spellpower
Enchant Gloves – Exceptional Spellpower
Eternal Belt Buckle + Durable Monarch Topaz
Earthen Leg Armor
Enchant Boots – Tuskaar’s Vitality
(I’ll leave the mats for these for you to work out – if you’re like me, you will have picked up most of the enchants from the AH, which reduces mats to a sum of gold that varies depending on your server and when you’re buying)
But now for the taste-test. Fingle’s stats in her normal gear (including one item with resilience) versus her stats in her shiny new PvP gear:
| PvE Gear | PvP Gear |
| 12650 Health 16738 Mana 1655 SP 11.18% Crit 395 Haste 283 MP5 29 Resilience | 16170 Health 14323 Mana 1557 SP 17.94% Crit 126 Haste 105 MP5 545 Resilience |
There’s one last item that I expect will be very useful, the Lesser Flask of Toughness. As Fingle is an alchemist, her Mixology buff increases the flask to 82 resilience and a 2-hour duration. Sure she’s starting pretty cheaply, but 627 resilience should be enough to get her off on the right foot. Time will tell what effect the substantial drop in MP5 (and lesser drop in mana) will have, but I guess the next step is to actually try it all out. (Hmmm, I wonder what guildmates I could convince to participate?)
One other little change I’ve made (while farming the AH for all those mats), has been to dress Bingle, glyph vendor and bank alt extraordinaire, in a more appropriate fashion for her station.
You can keep your tuxedos and fancy dresses, I’ll stick with my classy Netherweave.
