A complete live guide built from rated Battle.net profiles: bracket-specific talents, PvP talents, gear, gems, enchantments, statistics and importable builds. PvE raid casts are never presented as PvP advice.
Secondary stat split across the 30 best-geared synced characters. Averaged per player, so one heavily geared character cannot define the answer for everyone.
