my 39 twink priest in the making, i get up to 311sp with potion and talents :P
lemme know what you guys think.
WHy don't you get the WG Boa items so you've got some resilience? And PvPing without a PvP trinket...why don't you pick up the inherited insignia of the scourge. It's a spellpower loss of course, but you NEED a PvP trinket to effectively PvP. Plus the added resilience will be extremely helpful at that level =)

I've seen 19 twinks with more Stamina. SP means nothing when you're dead. No resilience, low armor, low HP, Holy spec... You have nothing going your way for survivability, which is what PvP is all about. It won't prevent you from having fun playing it, which is all that matters, but you did it wrong, by any means.

Yeah, like I said, the important part is that you're having fun doing what you do. In my opinion, you probably are very easy to kill, but if you play accordingly, generally hang around people intelligent enough to help you when you get focused and generally avoid playing it like Rambo, you can probably run OOM before dying most of the time, which is the best you can hope for anyways, really...
All that being said, I haven't been in low level BGs since they introduced BG XP, so the "real" twinks (those who had low-level-BiS-stamina-oriented gear/enchants) might not be as bad a problem as before... You can completely disregard my opinion if your (recent) experience proves me wrong, which it probably does too. :)

sptwinks was awesome before xplock, since you met both twinks and notwinks, but now you will only meet other twinks as twink, so sptwinks 1-2 shotting everybody not twink and just dot and run from twinks(which mostly was busy slamming some nontwinks) was awesome. But that was mostly if you were dps. Healing you want mainly int and stamina, whilst taking all the extra sp you can get at the same time.

The level 39 Bracket
is not played the same way as the 70 and 80 brackets.
Infact, people dont even play the same way in the lower ends.
Resilience is crap unless you can stack more than 10% reduction,
which is not going to happen at this level range.
People do not have the same skills as high level, no Mortal Strike, no Bestial Wrath, no Water Elemental, or even other skills that people consider basic that you get higher up anyways like Barkskin/Mangle, Deadly Throw or Cloak or Shadows, or even Soul Fire or Inferno (if you've never been ganked by the stun on that one, you're never truly rage quite a BG before).
Yes, high health is nice, High health is awesome. High health and damage mitigation is even better. There is no real difference between 2.1k health and 2.2k health when the bane of priests hit in the 600s with special abilities.
On a positive note (i hate negativity (see what I did there?)), this is one of the best geared out priests ive seen in the 39 Bracket.

@Chinky, PvP is PvP. Survivability is king. We don't have to agree on that one, but I'd like you to prove me wrong if you can. As I acknowloedged in my 2nd post, I haven't run that bracket in at least 2 years, which is why I stated to disregard my opinion if the OP's personal experience proved me wrong, which it probably did. However, with the Resilience BoA gear or additional Stamina, the OP would already have a tad bit more survivability (does he need it? I don't know, and I don't think you know either, but the OP must know, so he's the one who'll be making the call, ok?). Resilience isn't crap "under 10% reduction", 5% reduction is already better than 0%, heck, 1% is too, just like 2.2k hp is better than 2.1k hp. In my humble opinion, you need to be able to survive a burst from a Rogue, Paladin or other bursty DPS class to be useful. But hey, if he plays against a bunch of noobs who don't bother targeting him first when possible, survivability isn't an issue. However, when he goes against a "well organized" group who notice him topping heal meters, and that a Rogue or two decide to wait for him in the GY to lock him out of the game, he'll be happy to have all the defensive stats he could get.
With all that being said, every need is relative to an individual player's ability to play their class and the exact way they play (because there's no a single "right" way to do it. If you like to run head first into the action (which is my case), you normally want more Stamina than anything else. If you're more into waiting behind, healing and dealing damage at max range, then surviving can be a lot easier, even with less survivability stats (until a Rogue rapes you, anyways, unless you're going to tell me Rogue can't stunlock or backstab at level 39?). I really don't know why you felt pertinent to specify "The level 39 Bracket is not played the same way as the 70 and 80 brackets.", in bold, too. What let you think I thought otherwise? Besides, I'm not the one seeking advice, the OP is.
There is no real difference between 2.1k health and 2.2k health when the bane of priests hit in the 600s with special abilities.
Yes there is. There is a 100hp difference. Despite what you might (or might not) believe, any small increment is valuable. On an irrelevant example, why do you think people pay hundreds/thousands of gold for the slightest upgrades when it comes to gems and enchants, at end game
(I know, we're not talking end-game, which is why I specified this was an irrelevant example, but the same logic applies, no matter your level. An upgrade is an upgrade.)
? The stat difference between a rare and epic gem is very small, so small you could say "There is no real difference...", but there is. All the slight upgrades eventually stack up and make your character better as a whole. The way you put it, and maybe I misunderstood your point completely, it's like you're saying there's no point in getting 100 more hp, while I really think there is, or that resilience ranging from 0%-9.999% dmg reduction is "crap", while 10% is good... maybe you've never survived with under 100hp... That's when you're glad you had the extra HP/resil, but whatever... Same logic applies to Resilience, SP, Spirit and any other stat, for that matter, more of any stat is always better, even if it's only
slightly
better, although a good balance has to be achieved to be effective.
