Hello all, your favorite (or not so favorite) moonkin here!

I'm intending to PvE as a moonkin like planned, but I was putting serious considering into PvPing as a feral druid.

"Ok, so what's your problem? Just PvP as a feral druid and PvE as a moonkin sounds good." In both situations the gear I'll be collecting will be, mostly, temporary. The progression of the raid depends on everyone doing their best , the same as the progression of the arena team. Me alone being more geared probably won't make or break our progression but you take 15 of the raiders that didn't get honor blues/epics and you may have a serious issue... Annnd.... same goes for arenas... can't run/healer dps if your healer has 7k hp and expect to get very far.

So I'm a little torn. It was easier for me when I went boomkin, because I already had all the gear I needed for pvp, I spent some points on some gear that would be very hard to replace (IE a helm) and it helped me in the beginning. Helm would of lasted me all the way until Kiljaden if I didn't snag A T6 one.. and it's pretty on par with T5.

To be blunt, to do very well in season 5 you'll probably need to get into a highly progressed 25 man and be specced the way your raid job is. Things like weapons, trinkets/off pieces are all going to be better than anything a pvper could acquire in preperation for season 5. So while I level I'll probably decide to just pvp as moonkin. But I thought maybe some others that are in similiar shoes could give me their opinion/decision ;p.

Not everyone may be pvping as a different spec, but may want to get the PvP gear with their badges of valor/etc...
