PvP priests usually use 2 pieces of one and 2 pieces of the other ( or 3 of the +crit) so they get the 2 piece set bonus on both, and guess what, the bonus is 100 resilience! So from 4 pieces, you get 2X100 resi, thats just awesome for clothies. Hope that helped. Hiya, was just wandering thru blogs and all, and im quite the pvp geek ;p

As your stats rise (Crit, Haste, Parry, Dodge, whatnot) they start contributing less to their overall effect. This is what I mean with Diminshing Returns, not the one that is on CC in PvP. Sorry for the confusion. Well, it’s not PvP diminishing returns, just the regular one. As your stats rise (Crit, Haste, Parry, Dodge, whatnot) they start contributing less to their overall effect.

I rely so heavily on my instant casts when I battleground that I can't see me getting much benefit from Haste. Sure I Flash Heal but usually other players (especially when I don't want spell animations like Prayer of Mending or Penance to give me away). If I'm under fire I usually rely on my instants to keep me alive - as soon as I can get out of whatever CC i'm trapped in. Had no idea that Crit/Haste suffered from diminishing returns in PVP. Kinda sucky to realise my set is already one step behind now. Ah well, nothing else I could have bought with Emblems of Valor anyway.

Even better (or worse, depending on your view), the conqueror's badges can be used to purchase Deadly Gladiator gear. This does mean that since these can be easily farmed now, that Deadly Gladiator is "totally the new base PvP set". I think the haste/crit thing is a matter of preference and DR, personally. In PvP, you are always at risk of being locked out of spellcasting, so haste means faster casting and more mobility. Crit, however, means bigger burst and bigger heals. In order to prevent being too much burdened by Diminishing Returns on your stats, I guess a healthy mix of Haste and Crit would be the answer. By the way, I also just found your blog via wowinsider, and I must say it looks awesome. ^_^ My two main toons are a Shadowpriest and a Resto Druid, and I think the combo stuck. HoTs and DoTs are not much different after all, except on the target they are put on. Keep up the good work!
