I don't write lovely informative blogs the way you do. My blogs always seem to turn into digressing quasi-rants that end in warlock love. *shrug* Who knows? :) Hehe.

*shrug* Who knows? :)

Well-chosen pvp pieces can really supplement a pve gear set. I also agree that people in all pvp gear end up underperforming in raiding, and are frequently confused as to why. Sounds like a good topic for another article. :) I agree entirely. Well-chosen pvp pieces can really supplement a pve gear set.

I like my mobs to follow a set routine. I like knowing what I can do and knowing what they'll do (given circumstances). In a PvE world, I'm a pretty good player. I hate PvP. Hate it. Detest. Loathe. Abhor. I PvP'd as my warrior (don't recall what spec) pre-BC to get a ram, simply because I wasn't doing the cloth grind ever again. I was possibly protection and my method was to shadowmeld and wait by a node or flag or whatever. And then keep them busy until reinforcements could arrive. :P So now I won't do the cloth grind ever again nor the PvP method ever again! :) Soon... I won't do anything ever again. It's great. Er.. sorry. Digressed. My druid is a feral tank. There simply IS no shoulder piece that drops in an instance or heroic or even badges that is better than merely rare (or more geared to feral DPS or rogues). At least not in any place I can get her to. Considering I'm OTing in high end Kara and starting ZA... I really want to try to get out of my blues. Finally, I gave in and said I'll go for the PvP shoulder pieces. A friend of mine convinced me that I should go in as a healer and I'll make out like a bandit. He was right. I did a bit of research and I bought the honor-purchasable PvP healing set and I've started to PvP as a balance/restoration druid. And now I have my tanking shoulders and a pair of tanking gloves. Woot. The methods are so different. Survivability, what the goals are, what people will do. How people will play. Still hate it at times, especially when the other side goes 'Aroo? Is that a healer?' and come and kill me. *cry* But surprisingly, if it's just one (and not a stinky evil rogue), I'll usually outsurvive him or her. HoT's = Love. Anyway... my point is, dear gods is there a difference in PvP and PvE. And I can't tell you how many times someone is invited into a heroic with us with amazing stamina! ... and no hit rating. And they get outdamaged by the tank... but they're in full epics, they cry. I’m a PvE’er. I like my mobs to follow a set routine.
