What to buy first (arena)
- 1
Main-hand + off-hand (spell power)
The single biggest jump in pressure or throughput per arena point. Buy your weapon before any armor slot.
- 2
PvP trinket (Medallion of the Horde/Alliance)
Non-negotiable. A CC-break trinket wins more games than any stat piece — grab it the moment you can.
- 3
Set shoulders, chest, legs (resilience core)
The high-resilience, high-armor slots. These three set the survivability floor that lets your team play the long game.
- 4
Rings, neck, cloak, bracers with resilience
Fill the off-slots with resilience pieces next; a raid piece here gets you globalled in dampening.
- 5
Gems & enchants (resilience + primary stat)
Do this last, tuned to your set. Cheap, high-impact, and easy to redo when you swap pieces.
