PvP'er wanting to get some PvE gear...

Hi all, I was curious... as someone with relatively little PvE experience and no PvE gear, how would I begin? I have the latest and greatest PvP gear, but I'd like some of that awesome 500+ ilvl PvE gear and to try some raids. I'm on Tichondrius, a heavy PvP server. Valor points are a pain to grind and slow to come!

Edit: I'm a healer! : )

Thanks! :)

LFR, you can still do decent DPS in your PvP set. I am usually in the top 10 with full malevolent on my arms warrior. Definitely not a challenge, a good way to start building a set. Make sure you get exhalted with the Sunreave Onslaught. Also, make sure you go in there with Elder Coins, sucks not having the extra roll on every boss. If you've been active in the Isle of Thunder I am sure you have gotten a key to the palace and are maxed on elder charms.

Thanks a lot! I'll work on that.

I'd also like to point out you can convert 375 Honor points to justice points. I just did this to get some basic pve gear.

Also on Tich btw. You horde or ally?

Oh, that's right! Thanks for that. Horde. :)

Do not do that. It's a complete waste of time. PVP gear is 476 and PvP stats aren't weighted against ilvl. JP gear is 458. You would be downgrading.

Just start running your LFR lockouts whenever possible. Run a daily heroic.

VP will pile up and you'll start to get some nice drops. It doesn't take long.

Thanks for this too! I'll do that alternatively. :D

Shit... Being a healer you can join a LFR within minutes or even seconds. If you do all of them, you should be near the weekly valor cap. Then you can run some scenarios to finish up on the last few VP left. I'm able to complete many scenarios in under 5 minutes. Doing dailies for all of the important factions will yield good gear. If you got gold, you can always buy or fabricate epic gear.
