POWER LVL to 70. Dun need to think of gear. U'll pick up sufficient gear along the way during lvlling. Once u reach 70 then decide the path u wan. U wanna raid or pvp. If u wanna raid just spec prot, its easier to tank,easier to find group. Wanna pvp just bg n get some pvp gear. Get a BS weapon made. Once u got some decent pvp gear, form an arena team n yeahhh that's about it.
