    gemming recommendations for pvp?

    i know for pve for yellow its smooth radiance, red = potent verm, blue = piercing wild jade. is there a similar recommendation for pvp gear as well, in terms of pvp power, int, crit/haste for pvp frost?

    What sort of PvP are you doing? This will depend on what you're doing, what your partners are, and other factors. If you're running random BGs, match all your sockets and base which choices you make on what you feel you need most. As a general rule, PvP power is the most potent offensive stat, Intellect will give you offense and also increase your shields, Resilience is (obviously) your best defensive stat. I've personally favored Resil over second stats because I can't necessarily count on having a healer available to me.

    In Arenas, people take more hardline stances and build their gear around their comp. There's multiple successful approaches.

    RBGs and random BGs - not a big fan of arena

    Yeah, I think the best advice you can get (even thought it's pretty squishy) is to gem for what you currently feel like you're missing. If you feel like you need tighter windows to get off cast bars, go Haste in yellow slots; if you think you want bigger shatters, go Mastery, if you want pure offense, prioritize PvP power, and so on. Just make sure you're always matching your sockets, the bonuses are basically always worth it.

    personally I throw the 80 int/ 160 pvp power purple gem into all my red slots and 160 pvp power / 160 pvp resilience green gem into my blues/yellows. the names escape me atm cuz i just woke up.
