Season two of the warrior dps set. As of yet, no announce date for when season two will come out.

Suggestion: If you have what you need from the current season, save up at least 5,000 arena points. It's the maximum amount that you'll be allowed to carry over for the new season.

Here's a quick breakdown (according to the info from MMO-Champion) of what the upgrade stats are from the season 1 set:

+639 Armor
+36 Strength (Base Stats) +29 Strength (Comparing Season 1 & 2 gear both with matched-socketed gems)
+31 Stamina
+22 Crit Rating (Base Stats and/or comparing Season 1 & 2 gear both with matched-socketed gems)
+18 Hit Rating (This set is still highly in favor of Arms-spec/2-Hander builds)
+6 Resilience Rating (Base Stats) or +13 (Season 2 Set's matched-socketed gem bonuses)

* Once again, sadly, the only extra +Equip bonus is the hamstring rage reduction by 3 rage points (Gloves).
* The 2 set bonus is once again +35 resilience and the 4 set bonus is also once again a 5-second reduction to intercept.
* The amount and types of sockets available in comparison of Season 1 and 2 sets also remain unchanged.
* The skin they have chosen for the Season 2 Warrior's Gladiator set is a re-skinned T5 set, also with a very nice dark tint to it.

Intersting that they opted to not have a reverse set bonus (remember the T0 and T.5 sets and the Level 60 Rare & Epic PvP sets?) both can argue that either method is correct however it somewhat draws the set from being though of as an "Upgrade" and rather just a new set.

so season 1 gladiator looks like tier 4. season 2 looks like tier5. shall we assume that there will be a season 3 gladiator with better stats and the looks of tier 6 or???........

Two questions that will hopefully generate useful info:

1. Of all the Arena weapons that can be paired with this set, which do you recommend for PVP (Arms-build assumed)?

2. Is there a one-hander worth spending the points on as a Prot-build?

Commento di 47475

I think all of the pieces are missing from the Season 2 vendor - can this be added in for easier reference?

Commento di Rasztra

The screenshot with the human shows the warrior T5 PvE Destroyer Set. The tauren screenshot is the correct Season 2 Arena Set, the Merciless Gladiator's Battlegear (it is slightly darker in color).

If I were trying to maximize my resilience, which pieces of S1 would be best to mix in?

I liked the look of ordinary Gladiator's set better. The helm and shoulders are just too over the top and the color doesn't blend with 70 General's as well as Gladiator's Battlegear did.
That aside, the set is a definite improvement with more armor, stamina, crit and resilience and it was tooled to give some much needed + hit as well. Swapping the socket bonus from extra str to extra resilience will also prove better boost.

Exact upgrade on stats between Gladiator and Merciless Gladiator set:

+639 armor
+36 str
+31 stam
+18 hit rating
+22 crit rating
+6 resilience rating

and exchange of 4 crit 7 str
in favor of 4 crit 7 reslience.

Worth the difference of 8250 to 7172 arena points to get under new patch? definitely.

lots of armor, i am gonna start tanking non heroics with this sett. i bought the globes and they had almost twice more armor than my old blue DPS ones.

Commento di Thottbot

does this mean you can now only buy season2 arena gear or can you still buy the season 1 gear

Commento di Thottbot

Overtly Masochistic Gladiator's Battlegear imo.

Commento di Thottbot

The new stuff is definately worth buying. The price difference between merciless and normal is pretty small compared. A good arena group can get an extra 1000 arena points in a month maximum

Commento di Thottbot

Which is better for an arms/fury warrior. Tier5 or this?

Commento di Thottbot

This is designed for pvp for pve dps t5 are definately better and t4 are better than this too when it comes to pve. the pvp gear has to low str

Commento di Thottbot

Resilience is for PvP, get defense/dodge/parry gear for PvE.

Resilience can get you "crit immunity" in PvE too, but it's a more expensive stat to reach it with - besides the -crit dmg component is void when you're "immune".

Commento di Thottbot

Resiliance can be good for a tanking bear to help get to their crit cap. Defence doesn't give them block or parry so a mix of resiliance and agility is arguably a better way to employ item budget.

Commento di Thottbot

What's the boots called in the human picture?

Commento di Thottbot

I was wondering, i started out as a straight up PVP/Arena warrior. But i really want to get into tanking more since my friends are getting to lvl 70 now. I have this full set, would i be good for tanking instances, or heroics even tho theres no defence rating? theres a ton of armor/stamina i know. I want to run some raids too, but dont know if this wouldnt work as good as another set, thanks

Commento di Thottbot

Well, I don't particularly care for the style of this armor. But I will say that if you see a warrior in a full set of this... don't mess with that guy.

Commento di Thottbot

As a warrior id say that the extra resilience set bonus is not as good as the 5 seconds off intercept.

You don't really need as much resilience if you're a warrior, but most other classes especially any class that is specced healing should go for 3 merc, 2 season 1, and try and hit the resilience cap, which is about 485 or something. Also any class with more than one set of merciless, shamans, druids, warlocks etc. have the added option of 3 of their favoured merciless set, and 2 of their less favoured. For example, a healing shaman with 3 bits of the resto gear, 2 of the elemental gear, then all the resto trimmings (veterans gear, merciless salvation etc) would get a resilience advantage, and the loss in healing wouldn't be too noticeable. Affliction warlocks could also do something simliar, by taking 3 of the dreadweave, and 2 of the not so well done in stats for affliction, felweave set, and a warlock with 450+ resilience is gonna be a **** to kill tbh.

Commento di Thottbot

Thats cause Blink is on a 15 sec cooldown xD

Also 5 sec shorter cooldown means 5 less seconds your getting your ass raped so way better then 35 Resilience.

Commento di Thottbot

I have this full set now, including matching belt and boots (veteran's) and it looks awesome. I personally wanted this set for a long time only for looks, next only to the teir 3 Warrior set (which has to be the best looking so far in my humble opinion).

Now very easily obtainable in 2.4 aside from the matching boot and belt which require badges of justice and you could probably use the 70 badges they require for better things. I was lucky enough to keep mine when they were on sale for honor in season 2 arena.

A very solid base of gear for someone to arena in, only wish their arena system wasn't so exploited or broken.

Commento di Thottbot

Was just wondering if 490 Defense is attainable with this set, and if I would be able to tank Kara as a Warrior with it? Granted I would be spaming shield block to get up to 102.4% mitigation.

To get to 490 defense I would go with "Of Defense" bracers, belts, boots, etc.

Could it be done?
