Well, what can I say.

You should probably ask this question on the wow forums, in the week off I am going to give you from these forums.

Normally I'd write up something witty to say here, but in your case, I'm not going to bother.

Don't sass the mods, don't post awful threads.

After getting an infraction, don't go and try and derail a thread with your 2nd ever post to these forums, don't derail a thread with something that barely even merits a thread when the answers can be found using the search function.

UGH - JUST NO.

Original Post:

I hope I don't derail this thread too much, I tried to start my own thread but apparently one of the extremely intelligent mods thought it was "useless" and redundant.

Anyway, I was wondering what some of you higher rated hunters choose in regards to sockets, and which style or combination of gem selections do you find most viable for 5v5 arena situations?

I ask because I started out trying to stack as much sta/resil as possible (11.6k HP, 320 resil unbuffed at the moment). As time goes on I have begun seeking more damage.

The way I see it, we have three different options in regards to gem and enchant choices:

1) Stacking Stamina and Resilience gems on everything we can
(Reasoning behind this choice: When we are the target of an assist train it does more good to your team to be able to survive than put out a bit more damage...)

2) Using all pure damage oriented gems
(Reasoning: The PvP gear already has enough built in survivability, why not bring it closer to the PvE gear in terms of damage)

3) Balanced mix of stamina/resilience and damage-like gems
(Reasoning: More damage the example 1, more survivability than example 2)

So what do you guys use and why?

Thanks for reading.

ps- I usually run with a Warrior/Rogue, Discipline/Holy Priest, Resto Shaman, and Mage.
