Mists of Pandaria: PvP Gear Preview

posted 2012/07/30 at 10:38 AM by perculia

There are three tiers of PvP armor: Dreadful (Honor Points), Malevolent (Conquest Points), and Malevolent Elite (Conquest Points + 2200 rating). Each of these armor sets has a distinctive tint.

All 2 piece set bonuses increase PvP Power by 300 and PvP Resilience by 600.

All 4 piece set bonuses increase PvP Power by 400 and PvP Resilience by 800.

PvP Power and PvP Resilience are new stats in Mists. PvP Power increases the damage you do to other players as well as the healing you do to other players in PvP situations. PvP Resilience continues to be a defense stat. These two stats will only work in PvP situations, helping to ensure that PvE gear will remain weaker.

Each set has class-specific 2 piece and 4 piece bonuses as well--many of which were changed just on Friday.

Comment by kentis92 A shame that hunter look that bad.... my main is a hunter :/
love all the other sets tho :) Comment by Patakun Wait... I thought this was the Priest PVP set: http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2012/may/pvppreistHRfemalepandaren.jpg

Did they switch the PVP and Raid set around? Comment by Tenjen that mage set is rocking.

and i LOVE the Paladin one. Might use that in PVE tanking as a morg :3

the shaman set is very interesting. love that hat.

But hte best one is definately the warriior set. Like a heavily armored legionaire. Comment by perculia Here are the changes I've found so far.

Hunter sets got switched around a lot. (Had a friend purchase the set to confirm yesterday.)

Paladin PvP was unknown, it's now a pantsuit version of the old Priest PvP set.

The old Priest Tier 14 set is now the current Priest PvP set.

The old Priest Challenge Mode set is now the current Priest Tier 14.

Comment by Zachbb Both Hunter Sets seem to be the same for Challenge Mode/PvP (http://images.wowhuntershall.com/2012/03/ChallengeFemaleClose.jpg)
Is PvP set Serpent Shoulder or Wolf Shoulder? (http://images.wowhuntershall.com/2012/03/MalePvPClose.jpg)
I'm guessing whichever is PvP other is Challenge Mode. Comment by perculia The models I posted for Hunter PvP have the serpent shoulder. Confirmed with a friend in-game:
http://imgur.com/APOcz

It seems Hunter Challenge Mode is ~~getting something new which hasn't been linked above yet. Check out this hat.~~

Edit: Modelviewer was being weird, the old Hunter PvP is now the new hunter Challenge Mode. Comment by Rankkor I'd love the DK set if it wasn't for that stupid skull/grin thing. its ruining what would otherwise be a pretty badass helmet. Comment by ciaossu Is there a Monk PvP set specific to Brewmasters? I would imagine not, but it looks like the Monk Agility 2 piece only benefits a Windwalker only ability which is a shame. Comment by felhunter The models I posted for Hunter PvP have the serpent shoulder. Confirmed with a friend in-game:

It seems Hunter Challenge Mode is getting something new which hasn't been linked above yet. Check out this hat.Comment by Viderimens I'm thrilled to see the mage set, more so that the honor gear has a preferable color scheme (all mage gear should be purple IMO).

I guess my only question is, how do we obtain PvP Power outside of the set bonuses? It doesn't appear to be on any of the armor, weapons or accessories. Does the flat "resilience" value on armor/weapons modify PvP Power *and* PvP Resilience? Comment by Rankkor Is there a Monk PvP set specific to Brewmasters? Comment by Zerooo Am I wrong or the 4p bonus of dps monks is OP, and the 4p bonus of mages is useless in arenas, since you can't use alter time there ? Comment by Rankkor Am I wrong or the 4p bonus of dps monks is OPTouch of Deathand the 4p bonus of mages is useless in arenas, since you can't use alter time there ?Alter TimeTime WarpComment by musiclover123 I'd love the DK set if it wasn't for that stupid skull/grin thing. its ruining what would otherwise be a pretty badass helmet.http://swtor.wikia.com/wiki/BroonmarkComment by Rankkor I'd love the DK set if it wasn't for that stupid skull/grin thing. its ruining what would otherwise be a pretty badass helmet.Comment by ciaossu

Nope, just as there isn't a PVP set specific to prot pallys, prot warriors, blood DKs, or Guardian Druids.

Tanks have no place in pvp, and even though people can, (and often do) pvp in tank specs, doesn't mean the game will provide any support in terms of itemization for tanks.Comment by Iceveiled Loving the armor designs. The weapons continue to look like outlandish action figure weapons. Comment by DoriansArmy That is such a shame that the Priest PVP set got switched to pally. It doesn't even look right that way, almost top heavy. This was the first time I was excited about a priest helm, but now I get horns or a bulbous turban? No thanks...

It wouldn't hurt Blizz to allow Priests to look tough in an outfit that actually looks like armor and not just some dress where the only exciting part is the shoulders and helm that noone will xmog.

This is a sad day for priests... :( Comment by Interest Wow they made the Hunter's PvP set effect 5 times better. Might be useful =). I like the 2p too.

Edit: So I looked at them all. I see what could potentially be a couple overwhelming and underwhelming set effects (healing Priest 2p seems quite powerful, for instance), but others seem alright. Comment by Zachbb @ Perculia
Helm pic (not model) seems to match armor set below, I could be wrong, looking forward to it if that is the case though!
