Sup guys 
so I'm new to Neverwinter by about a month, and am currently on my third character slot with a TR that I created specifically for PVP. Now, I've read a few guides out there- including a few on MMOMinds- regarding TR builds for PVP. Watched some videos, read the guides, etc.. But am still having a bit of trouble in a few areas while building my TR.
Number one is my issue finding guides that have updated to Mod 6. Most of the information from older guides is still relevant, however most of the Feat Points are outdated, and I'm trying to figure out what goes where. I'm pretty sure I'm wanting an Executioner, and am currently building one (My TR is now level 48, jsyk) but am always lost when it comes to where exactly to put my points.
Two, I'm still trying out the TR's powers, and get conflicting ideas from guides on which powers to use in PVP. Some say the best encounter powers are Shadow Strike, Lashing Blade and Bait & Switch while others tell you to equip Dashing or Deft Strike. I'm also curious on techniques when coming across an enemy in PVP- what powers to use first, etc- or if I'm being attacked by more than one enemy.
Three: Gaining Glory in PVP has mystified me a bit. While I'm pretty sure I know the important tips regarding PVP (manning capture points, equipping PVP gear, etc) I'm still at a loss on how to earn more Glory. I've been buying my gear from the Auction House, but I know the best gear comes from the Trade of Blades. I've yet to be able to get much gear from there- even when I do, I always level up a few times and am able to find better stuff on the Auction House- because I don't get much glory. I'm good in PVP- not great, but can hold my own and often get good kills/deaths/assists ratios and scores, but still have issues gaining Glory.
Four: Regarding gear, I'm curious as to the best ways to find new, better gear. By that, I mean (for example) I find armor that has +9 Tenacity than my currently equipped armor, is it worth it or do I wait for something better? Also, what other stats are important in PVP (power, life steal), and what are the most important (if any) pieces of gear to upgrade with PVP?
Lastly, quick question: How do you queue for Gauntlgrym?
Anywho! I think I'm done. Sorry for the essay. Again, super new, and am just looking to kick some --- in PVP
thanks in advance, all. Peace.

anyway:
1: read guild forum a lot of good guilds there looking for new players.
2 what powers and encounters to you at pvp? depends on your play style and build. after you find a guild go with a teammate or a to iwd pvp area and do tests, find a fellow tr to help you with advice about pvp for trs.
3 gaining glory? try do pvp at pvp hourly events plus there are some boons that will give you some extra glory as you get stronger.
4 try aiming for trade of blades best pvp gear after that try to aim for guild pvp gear.
really? are you lvl 60? if so you can see the q just under 5v5 domination tab
hope that helps.

Nope, I'm on PC.
I am in a guild, so I'll check out the forum. Thanks.
I usually have equipped Shocking Execution, Whirlwind of Blades, Duelist's Flurry, Cloud of Steel, Deft Strike, Lashing Blade and Path of Blades. I'm building a Master Infiltrator and going back and forth between Executioner and Saboteur.
I'm level 52. Did not know I had to wait for 60 to queue GG, so thanks.
Power > AP > Crit > deflect
I think regen/lifesteal is a matter of preference.
I'm at 66, I took pvp gear that gave me 1700 tenacity and 16k HP, and my power went from 10k to 8.5k and took 400 from my crit. But I kill more and die less now.
PVP wise, there's lots of viable builds out there...Experiment and figure out what works best for you. Learn when to run and when not to fight...E.g. if you see that GF coming at you behind his shield with a bright purple glowing mulhorand longsword and white glowing armor, you might wanna skip him and pick on someone else.

I definitely have realized that Tenacity alone isn't gonna cut it. Unfortunately, with the way they've minimized your glory earnings, I've had to buy all of my gear from the Auction House. Decent gear- it'll get me by- but things like Power and AP are hard to up as well.
As a level 58, what should my stats look like right now? I've got a decent amount of Astral Diamonds and can grab some new gear if pointed in the right direction.
