Hello everyone!

I started playing last weekend (saturday morning) because i heard about the free to play thing and wow arenas have been a disaster lately and i felt i needed a break.
I did my homework (2 decades of mmo playing make me NOT want to spend time doing the wrong stuff and wasting time) and as off last night my Stam DK is at 167 cp.
Now, i have a few questions regarding pve/pvp (i know i could google and spend some more time researchign but the endless gring from 1-167 destroyed my brain )

1-(pvp/pve)- i managed to play the guild trade auction houses and make enough gold to invest and make MORe gold, and i now own 5/5 Black Rose inpen 3/3 Agility 3/3 Fury 1h Viper (Divine cuz sharpen was beyond reach for now) Viper shield and Viper/Fury 2 hand.My goal is to get 2/2 termoscale and viper 5/5 with jewellery. Problem, after a few veteran pledges i only have 1 heavy armor termoscale mask with training (rip) and i seem to not be able to get the shoulders form the chest.Is there an optimal way to farm this? Also, in regards to the Viper jewelry, i should farm it on normal and then upgrade them right? (sicne its faster/easier farm and cheap to upgrade to purple?

2-(pvp) Coming from a high rated competitive pvp background, i understand the problem i have been reading about in regard to proc sets. Even though i havent experienced it (as far as i understood attempting to pvp without them is somewhat frustrating) my opinion is that mmo pvp wont EVER be balanced and you will ahve better and worse metas.With that said, i feel like somethign like proc sets (and that many different ones) add variety and depth when it comes to personalise your play style and gear (and thats AWSOME, instead of goign for max main stats all the time), BUT they need to increase the skill cap on it. I feel liek they reward mindless gameplay.The proc chances and proc conditions need to eb tuned in a way that it rewards GOOD gameplay.What i mean is, sure the proc migth be powerfull, and thats fine, BUT achieving it in an optimal way HAS to be equally as hard.THAT alone adds skill ceiling and depth to the gameplay that will reward ppeople for PLAYING properly rather then jsut spamming their 1-2-3 and randomly get a proc. (stuff like condition tunnign will help that, like "X set will only proc if the target has this poison applied...or after THAt happens...or if u are BEHIND the target..rather then just on damage).Now, iw as going for termo/viper,,,but iw anterd to know how reliable/controlable Selene is.


3-(pve) Tanking in blackrose 5/5 and a mix of viper/fury has been chllenging in vet modes.I feel like i need more hp and defensive stats, so what sets should i bet gettign for vet tanking? (i got a few pieces of imperium as well)




4-(pve/crafting)-For alchemy, do i need to level to 50 to CRAFT the potions that scale to 150 cp? is it worth/cheap to craft your own potions jsut buing the matts (i can grind mobs endlessly..but i cant farm matts )



5-other then farming vet/pledges for my sets, sicne my end goal is pvp, is there ANYTHING else i should be doing?



6-(pvp), i checked the forums without much success, but is there a good active pvp oriented guild on Na PC Dagger fall faction that i could apply for?)



Thanks
