I think learning the ropes (and the maps) in 2v2 is the best possible idea. Running a 2-DPS team is also not such a bad idea while you're learning (as opposed to DPS + healer) because in 2v2, focusing the opposing healer can cause them to drop pretty quickly, especially at the lower levels where resilience is uncommon and health totals rarely top 10k. Otherwise, go for the High Warlord's PvP set or (in the next patch) Arena Season 1 gear. Resilience really is THAT important.Jon Blevinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844700314444300514noreply@blogger.com
