As for comparisons with WoW, I think they're quite apt. WoW is a PvE/PvP game. To be good at PvE you need to PvP some (To

You know, I cannot understand how people could be so WRONG. Some PvP gear is nice to have for PvE, but if you just PvE alot you are going to find gear that is just so much better than the PvP stuff FOR PvE. I mean, as a tank I would wear a little bit of PvP stuff because of the ridiculous amounts of stamina, but that all got replaced by actual tanking stuff. And seriously, do not try DPSing in all Arena gear, it is stupid as hell. This goes for any class, because there are stats in PvE that are WAY more important than they are in PvP, and this is reflected in the gear.

This made me curious. What classes do you need to PvP with to excel at in PvE? I've played rogue, mage, warrior (tank) and priest (holy and shadow) at top level, I played mage and warrior competently, was praised for my priest skills and kicked everyone's ass at DPS as a rogue (while not requiring any more healing than the other melee DPS). I've never PvP'd to any extent with any of the classes, bar the week I obsessively spammed SS in battlegrounds to get my gladiator mace.

Right off the top of my head, weapons. Coming from someone who played in a somewhat hardcore guild, you really couldn't wait for drops to go your way. If your guild wanted to progress farther into the content, you PvP'd for your weapons and then replaced them once you got the PvE drops. You didn't have to PvP; it was just more beneficial to the guild and to your raid spot to grind out the S1 (And then S2) weapons.

Also, upon a bit of reflection, our mage tanks on HKM always bitched about how much PvP they had to do to get good stamina mage armor. And a tankadin weapon. Nothing could beat the spellpower mace in early raid game (before ZA).

Sorry I didn't make that clearer.

And Leinad, as a tank I'm surprised you took any PvP stuff. And of course you don't PvE in pure PvP gear; thus why I said PvP *SOME*. You didn't need to wear everything PvP, but when you start to raid getting at least the PvP weapons is a great boon.

Melodic:
This thread is so terribly lame, it should be in the Comics & Drawing forum for sheer lack of quality content.

Leinad:
Thank you Melodic, come again soon!

As for taking some PvP gear as tank, it rocks! As a warrior you really should take some because you can replace your Defence Rating with Resilience because they still stack to make you uncritable, and then shield block is still what makes you uncrushable. Plus the PvP gear has a LOT of stamina, and helps with your threat generation a lot, which is important to a fast clear with a hardcore guild. But it eventually all got replaced, and I didn't technically need it, it just helped me stay the main tank for my raid group, and meant I was always above the threshold so no one could criticize me as an officer.

Leinad:
So why are you posting here? I mean really, anyone who is going to agree with you shouldn't post here, because you would add exponentially to any negative factor of this thread. If you don't like a thread stop posting and see if it dies.
