DESIGN

PVP | High Health

This build design is focused on group PvP with Divine Sacrifice which transfer the damage taken by party members onto yourself, in addition it has passive healing from talents, abilities, random enchants to help you stay alive as you exchange hits, because of this you can potentially use it for grinding as well.

INTRODUCTION

While bears did get nerfed throughout the patches, everything from DPS, health, and armor has been decreased. However, I still enjoy the bear playstyle regardless of all the nerfs. This build focuses on being tanky while dishing out damage at the same time.

The goal for this build in PvP is to get in the face of the enemies and become their focus as your team does work, simply becoming a nuisance. However, if they do end up targeting your teammates, you can then transfer their damage taken onto yourself to help them survive.

Before the bear nerfs, it was possible to obtain 25K to 30K health and that is without Random Enchants.

RANDOM ENCHANTS

Getting the proper random enchants will help increase your survivability, aside from the double heal procs, this build also stacks Enveloping Shadow to counter TG builds that uses Windfury and Bladestorm, or even judgement builds that uses Divine Storm.

LETS TALK ABOUT STATS

Your primary stat is Stamina to fully benefit from the stamina % stacking from Random Enchants and Talents, in addition, stamina is also then converted into Attack Power. Secondary stat would be Agility providing Attack Power, Critical, Armor, and Dodge.

Priority Stats: Stamina > Agility > Strength > Attack Power

GEARING UP

Gear is necessary for this build as it relies on being tanky and scales stats by percentage from talents and Bear Form. Ideally you would want to wear Leather gear to fully benefit the Leather Armor % scaling from Bear Form, however it is alright to wear Mail or Plate only if they provide better beneficial stats such as stamina or effects such as 6-Piece Valor set which grants Healing when you attack.

WEAPON

For your weapons, you can start off using a Flurry Axe with Holy Strength Random Enchant and Cursader Enchant for extra healing and strength increase, for your offhand you can use a shield such as Wall of the Dead or Skullflame Shield which can be bought in the Auction House. Eventually, once you obtain better gear such as the gear listed in the gear section, you can swap out your weapons to dual wield two-handed weapons which high stamina stats such as Corruption or Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds.
