So you finally hit level 85 and you want to start pwning everyone. As priests we basically have 2 choices in PvP gear; Satin or Mooncloth. I have been reading the forums and other user guides and have not found a definative answer to which set is the “truely” better set to have. The ONLY difference between the two is that the Satin set stacks Crit and the Mooncloth set stacks Spirit. Both stacks the same amount of point in a category. Blizzard really nerfed the Disc Priest pvp from how we use to play. In Cataclysm Disc Priest PvP the most important specs to stack, in my opinion, is Resiliance and Inteligence. To this end you should can maximize Resiliance by getting at least 2 Satin items and 2 Mooncloth items. Doing so will prove a +400 Resiliance bonus.

Every piece of gear you have should have resiliance on it, all trinkets, all rings, all weapons, necklace, etc. Besides our bubble and psychic scream we do not have a lot of great defenses, staying ALIVE is our #1 priority.

In arena the Disc Priest will often be the #1 target for the enemy team. If your DPS can kill their healer or one of them before they kill you, it’s an almost guarantee win.

To be most efficient in earning the gear for PvP here is the strategy I employ:

#1.) Join ANY arena team to get conquest points. Use those Conquest Points to purchase the cheaper items first. For example: Cloaks, Necklace, Rings, Trinkets etc. All of the items that cost the least Conquest Points that you know you will need anyway.
#2.) Play Random or Call to Arms battles over and over to earn the points to get the satin and mooncloth sets.
#3.) Always take advantage of the Tol Barad fights. You can earn a lot of honor points in those fights.
#4.) After maxing out the high cost honor items seek to purchase the enchants.

I’m still in the process of gearing up, it will take many weeks but hopefully by the time I’m done I’ll be the same cloth wearing healing tank I was prior to Cataclysm.

 I learned this trick a few months back while playing Priest PVP in Warsong Gulch. Some priest got into a seemingly impossible location on a cliff in the back and he was holding the flag. No one could reach him to kill him. It was a great achievement in the name of Turtling the flag! Anyway, watch this video and tell me what you think. No comments on my messed up interface or the fact that they raped me when I fell down the cliff. Enjoy the vid!

Ok, so you’re kicking butt in PvP, or gettign your butt kicked, one or the other. Anyway, the burning questions is, “When is season 8 over?”. I have scoured the internet and WoW forums for weeks now trying to find the answer to this mysterious question. Here is what I’ve learned / figured out so far.

Here is a useful chart from WoWwiki about the previous seasons:

On average a PvP season lasts about 18 to 20 weeks. Season 3 was the exception at 29 weeks and caused a big stir on the PvP community. Season 8 has been going on for 27 weeks making it the the 2nd longest PvP season so far as of the time of this writing. I wouldn’t think that season 8 can last too much longer. All I know is that if you are hording arena points you should probably begin using them before they ninja switch us to season 9 and you lose them all!

So, although this article probably didn’t give you the EXACT answer you wanted to hear, rest assured that I scoured the internet to try to find the season 8 end date and it IS NOT OUT THERE YET! So, stop looking and come back here and visit and I’ll let you know. Until then, keep melting faces or whatever it is your class does!

Ever try to duel someone on the streets in Dalaran and you get the message that says, “You can not do that here”? Well, there is a little trick where you CAN duel someone in the streets of Dalaran. All you have to do is start the duel with someone at a certain location in the Dalaran sewers and then you and the person you want to duel mount up and run to the surface above where the duel flag went down. See the video!
