What classes benefit most from r13/14 gear?

[Sakuraba]

Hi,

I'm heavily considering going for the high tier pvp-gear, and i was just wondering which classes and/or specs benefit mostly from their rank 13 or 14 gear and which classes and/or specs makes it not worth the "trouble".

Any input greatly appreciated!

Don't really know because pvp stuff will be in a nerfed version, so kinda different from what we usually know

Rogues & Warriors Id say.

This comment is from a PvE perspective and assuming that we've moved beyond 1.4 depending on the context of what I'm talking about.

Mages will use the blue shoulders/boots 2pc bonus until Naxxramas. Gloves are also solid for mages.

Warriors will use shoulders until Tier 2.5 shoulder token becomes available. The boots aren't bad until you get a Boots of the Shadowflame or Chromatic Boots. Helm/Legs aren't bad until you can get a hold of Lionheart/Titanic Leggings. Orc Warriors will benefit the most from the Axes until Naxxramas weapons are available.

Rogues will use the Rank 14 Mainhand Sword until Kelthuzad.

The Caster/healing weapons are solid until AQ40 loot becomes available to you over BWL/MC gear in general. Warlocks will probably prefer PvE items for the most part.

Hunters need their Gloves for multishot bonus damage.

Warrior. No doubt.

Shadow priests as well, good stats and mp5 on warlord gear

The R13 stuff really isn't that great once you get deep into BWL, and it's definitely not worth the time investment from one to the other if you're thinking about PvPing for PvE gear.

In my opinion: Hunter.

For pvp: warriors and mages
For pve : warriors and rogues
