Every class in WoW has been competitive and or seen its light of day at some point in its history. At the same time, some classes have been tremendously overpowered and underpowered. Looking at DK's from S5 for example.

So... as a newbie... I should stay away from PVP shouldn't I? It seems Ill be more frustrated then excited.. and.. it just doesnt sound fun from what Ive read so far T__T.
Is there anyway other way to get the PVP gear?
Play in the 30s-40s bracket, you'll probably enjoy it more since there's no Morale gear to dumpster you.
Additionally, you shouldn't go in expecting much. It's MMO PvP, very rarely is it ever good (most of the time it's actually quite bad), nor does it give you room to win through skill. It's basically all gear/class, just like pretty much every other MMO.
Just go in and try to explode someone, if it works, neat, if not, oh well.
If you do it that way the PvP is decently entertaining.
Unless you're stuck doing nothing. PvP is my time drain, unless you like going on endless Treasure Hunt runs. As a DRG I'd strongly recommend Lvl 40 bracket cause they have all the required skills to perform at that bracket well.
I really want the gear tho, Im a bit of a hoarder/collector. How long would it take me to get all the gear for my DRG? I will probably try it out once I finish story mode.
The ilvl 55 gear you can get instantly because it's crafted.
The ilvl 70 gear takes a very significant time investment but it's an achievable goal.
The ilvl 90 gear (rank 30)... prepare yourself for an unbelievable grind.
It takes around 47,000 xp just to hit rank 30 and you get 30xp for a win or 10xp for a loss. If you're solo queueing as a DRG without any experience a 50% win rate would be generous but we'll go with that. Since you're a DPS the queues will take at least a few mins on average. For simple numbers we'll say you wait 3 mins on average for a game, 1 min pregame, and play 2 min games. At that rate you're looking at 235 hours of PvP. If you PvP'd for 2 hours a day every day it would take about 4 months to get there. It would actually take longer if you plan to buy both the ilvl 70 and ilvl 90 sets but you get the picture.
the most OP summoner ability of all.
