Gear Recommendations

2.1.

General Guidelines

Your gear goal should be to be fully equipped in Conquest Icon Conquest gear. You will need to get a pair of Infurious Warboots of Impunity Icon Infurious Warboots of Impunity, in order to empower the 2-set bonus of your PvP trinkets.

2.2.

Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a boost to your primary stat, stamina and provide a CC-reducing effect to you.

Crimson Gladiator's Medallion Icon Crimson Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. Even Human players will want to pick up this item against some compositions.

Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity Icon Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Critical Strike and provides a large increase to Strength.

Crimson Gladiator's Emblem Icon Crimson Gladiator's Emblem gives you an extra defensive by giving you a temporary health increase. This should be used if your priority is to survive and you know you are the kill target. Activating this trinket can then further empower Rallying Cry Icon Rallying Cry on you should it be necessary.

2.3.
