So whatever happened to:
Gladiator gear will be comparable to some of the top available PvE gear?
That was Blizzard's stance on it, and before 2.1 that was the way it looked.
Now on the PTR, the Gladiator's Shanker is equal to the Emerald Ripper (Shanker got nerfed, KZ loot got buffed).
Malchazeen, a relatively easy drop to get out of the easiest raid instance in Burning Crusade (now 91DPS) now easily beats what was supposed to be the "best of the best" pvp gear.
Looking to be an offensive powerhouse in pvp? Better hope you got a spot in your guild's raid after 2.1
I understand that Blizzard has said that "more changes will come", but since they have already nerfed Gladiator weapons... I hope to god that Blizzard does something to compensate gladiator's for this new change or else KZ set > Gladiator set for pvp.
