Returning player questions

[Doinkit]

I'm a returning player who hasn't played since the level squish. I read the FAQ and have some other questions. I'd appreciate it if someone who knows the answers could fill me in.

1) Does one faction have a significantly shorter queue than others on Bleeding Hallow or in general?

2) What are the queue times like for the different PVP options?

3) In the past, I played a level 19 druid because I liked to run the flag. But, it seems like druids are terrible now. What classes are good for running the flag?

4) About how much gold is needed to buy a full BIS gear set for a character?

Servers doesnt matter, only faction. I dont know what you mean by pvp options but if you mean bg, epic bg, skirm. Bg shortest, skirm next and epic longest.

Druids are the best flag carrier by alot. Druids are far from shit, they just require some patience and setup that the retards playing hunter cant handle.

Full bis?
Many millions.
If you skip on terts especially on jewelry you save millions.
If you want to FC you generally want alot of sockets so you wont use as many green pieces as some other classes so thats also gonna save you some money.
But adaptable necks and rings with sockets are still gonna be atleast a million each. Cloak and wrists far cheaper. You can save some more money by going for high vers aurora or harm pieces.

As Goesid said, many millions. Socket + speed gear (especially jewelry) is nutty expensive.

But, you could run "GoodNuff for random BGs" for maybe 500,000. After 6 stacks that expensive +speed modifier aint doin shit anyway. And you're still gonna get harpoon swarmed by surv hunters, so mostly +speed gear is just something pretty to look at while you wait on the rez timer.

Server doesn't matter, only faction does. And it depends the night.

2) What are the queue times like for the different PVP options?
Skrims: 3min-8min (depending the time)
(I only do Skirms, so idk the others)

3) In the past, I played a level 19 druid because I liked to run the flag. But, it seems like druids are terrible now. What classes are good for running the flag?
Druids are great, especially as an FC, it's the best FC at 20s and at 60. The FC Spec to go is Resto, not Guardian.

4) About how much gold is needed to buy a full BIS gear set for a character?
Fully BiS, many millions. Like idk, maybe 15 million gold? But to be an effective FC? 500-600K gold.
I suggest a few different sets (I have Wargames/Competitive matches in mind as I write this response.)
1. Sets for healing mid fights. +3int gem set, +2in+2Versitility sets.
2. Set for carrying flag below 6 debuff stacks. (stack stam and int, and if you can afford, also +speed gear)
3. Set for carrying flag after 6 debuff stacks (Stack stam and Versitility, speed gear is NOT needed for this)
