I agree with Crimsonsentinel's thoughts on going straight to S4 where feasible - grabbing earlier gear will put you in a position of effectively paying nearly twice the going rate for a number of slots unnecessarily. The approach I'd take is:
- Grab the S4 gloves ASAP since they have no rating requirement.
- Grab the S2 shoulders since you'll be quite a long way off the S3/S4 ones. These plus the gloves will give you the 2
piece bonus which stacks with the blue reputation set 2 piece bonus for a chunk more resilience.
- Pick up the non rating requirement honour gear. The S4 belt and neck don't require any rating from memory, nor
does the already released 45 resilience version of the PVP trinket.
- Get the S3 ring - you've got 2 ring slots so this will still be used even after you've got the S4 one especially since it
doesn't sound like you're likely to have access to the PVE options some people favour for that character.
- Pick up the 60 badge PVP cloak.
That selection of newly bought gear's stuff you won't be replacing in a hurry and should get you to somewhere around the 250-300 resilience mark (depending on gems/enchants) if memory serves which should be enough to let you rank up a bit and get access to more of the S4 pieces. If not you can then go back and start picking up S3 gear but if you can get away with doing it this way it should save you a fair bit of time in the long run. How feasible this proves to be for you is something you'll just have to try out and see of course.
