How to get PvP gear

[akai82 0]

Guys, hi, I'm playing vanilla first and have a question. Could someone describe me PvP system here? How i need to get a gear. If I understood right, I need to get pre-raid bis,than raid items, and only then  PvP gear? but if it so, i need to go PvE spec first and then change it to PvP? If it matters, I'm playing Mage. Thanks.

Its not about how hard it is, more like how much time are you willing to invest into it. 

You can farm honor for rank 7 even with a bad gear, it would just take longer.

Overall, I'd say getting rank 7 isn't hard, but it won't give you a very good gear either.

depends on the time u can / will invest. The better ur weekly Honorresult will be, the more progress u make to gain a higher rank.

Is it possible to move on with rank 7 items?

I've never bothered ranking myself, but I guess so. After all, as it has been said before, gaining honor is about time investment more than anything else.

However, I want to add this.

There's a major difference between time investment in PvE and PvP. With PvE, you can raid even once a week and slowly improve your character over time, making it stronger and stronger. If you decide to take a break, you just stop playing and continue further whenever you want.

With PvP and the way ranks decay over time though, you have to keep gaining a lot of honor regularly until you get the rank you want, and if it happens that you take a break or abandon this idea before you get it, all your time invested into ranking goes to complete waste. So with PvP ranking, you have to go all in until you reach it or not start doing it at all.

This is why I believe that for casual player it's much better to just get the gear from raids, especially since there is no major difference between PvE and PvP gear, since we don't have the resilience stat. Unless you happen to be some specific spec that's hard to gear up in PvE and that has exceptionally good PvP gear, like feral druid. In that case it might be worth it to get the rank for 4 set pieces.
