Battlegrounds is a good way to focus on mechanics (dodge/block/ when to engage) and can help learn to duel. Also quick matches.

Work with craft-able/overland sets before chasing sets you have to farm/grind.
Build to your playstyle.

could not agree more, Alcast is way off base when it comes to builds the amount of ppl that come through my guild and have to "rebuild" because of himDotz is great but experienced players will always be the best port of call

I’ve found with both of their builds there is always that little piece missing. I’ve only used their PvE builds. I’ve even jammed pieces of their two builds together to from some interesting hybrid types which turned my Stamwarden into a maelstrom machine which you would think would also work in PvP, but nope because human targets aren’t nearly as predictable as computer AI. Fortunately warden is adaptable if you have all of the right skills unlocked and equipment sets on hand.
For my MagDK build I tried both of theirs plus about 3 other known builds. I specifically wanted to avoid the BFB/stranglers meta because I knew it was only a matter of time. Luckily my guild has a DK specialist. 30 minutes with him on a dummy and a few hours of unlocking other skills and I added 15K DPS from 39K to 54K. Sustain issues gone, no BFB, no stranglers. Just a smart, clean, manageable rotation.
Just remember this, If you copy a build from a youtube video you are playing their play style not yours. Find your style and then seek advice on how to create a build that matches your style.
After finding many Magplar videos that didn't work for me i finally decided to make my own. The build isn't meta but it works for me and i have been more successful ever since.

You can just craft some basic gear and have a good time. Once you get used to the class you want to play, pick a meta build (you can go with your own builds later), if you go meta you at least know the build works and you can tweak it to your liking.
And after that, if you want to greatly improve join a real pvp guild. They will teach you pvp better then any youtube guide ever could.
