l2pvp: Resilience

This is the first post in a series of guides about PvP, which will hopefully help some of you newbies get into this wonderful aspect of our favorite game and tell you why you suck.

New Hunter Pet Abilities in Wrath

I’m pretty excited about most of this stuff coming in about WotLK so I’m on a posting rampage. Thanks to Wotlkwiki, we now have a preview of new hunter pet skills, which if real are seriously sick.

- New line of pet spells called “Smack“. Equivalent to Claw except with different name.
- Tendom Rip (Rank 1) [...]

New Medallion

##NOLIGHTBOX##
Is it my imagination or is Blizzard just trying to come up with more reasons to grind honor?
This baby will cost us 40,000 honor points for a whooping amount of 25 resilience. Another must-have for serious PvPers, but again, that’s going to be a boring grind again just like Battlemaster.
I’m guessing the trinket will be [...]

It’s recently been updated to include some new features: race icons, buff & debuff tracking (I still [...]
