PvP warlock Meta Gems
I have to decide on my final spec for PvP but I am building up my gear in the meantime trough BGs. I am stuck on what I should do Meta Gem wise for my Titan-Forged Hood Salvation. SO many Metas to choose from. Do i go for Crit potential or do I focus on stamina gems. I am not sure I see my self doing Arenas, but I do enjoy BGs and wintergrasp. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: PvP warlock Meta Gems
I have the Stam + 10% stun reduction, it's all about the survivability. It's an Earthsiege one... can't remember the name.

Re: PvP warlock Meta Gems
I personally gem for stam after resilience is fine, so I went 32 Stam + 10% stun reduce. It's the Powerful Earthsiege Diamond |

Re: PvP warlock Meta Gems
IMO for PvP a good meta would be something that lets you fill in for something you feel lacking. Do you always get stun locked? Do you always get scilenced? Do other locks see you and fear you off the bat? Me for example, I love WSG, so I want to fun faster when holding the flag/guarding the FC so I use a Tireless Skyflare Diamond - Spell - World of Warcraft. Anything that adds to your stam or reduces stun effects also work well Powerful Earthsiege Diamond - Spell - World of Warcraft. I do not honestly know if the + to crit works for spell crit too, but that might be worth looking into. Relentless Earthsiege Diamond - Spell - World of Warcraft. |

You can get the runspeed increase through a boot enchant (Tuskar's Vitality I believe) which can open your meta for something that is limited to only through that gem (i.e. the stun reduction, or silence reduction). Just as a thought incase the OP was looking at going for the runspeed. |

Yes that is true, but then you couldn't have Enchant Boots - Icewalker - Spell - World of Warcraft |

Re: PvP warlock Meta Gems
I would think for purely pvp sake, I would rather have the runspeed and the stun/silence reduction, as opposed to the extra 12 crit rating (which is less valuable in PvP due to resilience) and 12 hit, considering you only need 5%, which is relatively easy to get with the pvp gear. Not to mention, the Tuskar enchant and the stun/silence reduc. gems all have +stamina which can never hurt to have. |

Re: PvP warlock Meta Gems
Ty all for you recommendations. I went with the Powerful Earthsiege Diamond but am now having difficulty getting the gem combination to make sure it is active. It will never end,, Thank you again for all your suggestions. I placed the minor run speed increase on my boots. |

Re: PvP warlock Meta Gems
Three blue gems should be relatively easy to gem for in a PvP set.  You want to go with Steady Forest Emerald - Item - World of Warcraft or Mysterious Twilight Opal - Item - World of Warcraft or Shattered Forest Emerald - Item - World of Warcraft depending on your needs. If you're at around 800 resilience and lacking in any spell pen, I'd go with gemming for spell pen rather than resilience. But if you're under 800 resilience, I'd heavily recommend gemming for resilience. The +SP, +Spell Pen gem is best for a dual dps 2's.
