  Artifacts:
  
  Lantern, Blood Crystal, Waters of Elazahd
  
  Gear:
  
  Trade of Blades you can get champion / Grim / Profound gear very poor itemization. You will need to mix and match Pve still as our gear leaves much to be desired.
  
  Spec:
  
  Conq with FLS / Bull Rush, Lunging feated with Crushing Pin. Use what suits you!
  
  
  You need lots of Regen/ HP. You will even with BIS still be a disadvantage as the TR / GWF / and HR rule Pvp!
  
  I am sure Ant or others that frequent the forums will be here shortly to post their new Mod 3 specs for you!

  Shieldbash 60 GF ~ Iron Vanguard 19.0k
  Overpowered 60 CW ~ Thaumaturge 14.5k
  ==========================================
  
  
  ~ GF Buffs were great we are much better, please fix the bugs now... Thank you!

  For build questions, I'll defer to those who have a clue, see below.
  
  There is a discussion of PvP GF Feats and Powers here: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?658211-GF-Paragon-question-PvP&p=7840701#post7840701
  
  Facecontrol (facexcontrol on these here boards) has target numbers for a fully geared GF, which are discussed here: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?657221-DPS-GF-Best-weap-enchantment-for-PVP/page2
  
  Personally, I couldn't hit the target numbers for HP and Tenacity (assuming all rank10s and orange artifacts) without Ancient jewelry and PvP main/off-hand, so I think I'll end up lower on HP, use mostly PvP jewelry (just one ancient) and stick with Formorian for the main/off bcs of the higher top damage.
  
  @mehpvpmeh may be along telling you to shelve your GF because the class is outperformed by every other class, even in its given role, and to wait for the GF rework. Which could be half a year or a year down the line.
  
  To take your more generic questions one by one:
  
  The best set for PvP to start with is Grim Preserver. With that, you can start earning Glory and get Profound Preserver. Preserver because regen > lifesteal for GF.
  The reason for this is that Tenacity makes a big difference.
  
  Gauntlgrym is an easy way to get into Grim gear. Gauntlgrym gear that drops from the DK chest (or even the boss) or is bought with GG coins from the vendor can then be exchanged, in the Trade of Blades, for Grim gear, at the rightmost vendor.
  
  Artifacts give you stats when equipped, and the first artifact you equip has an effect every 3 minutes. For affordable stuff, you'll probably want to look at the free artifact (Lantern for crit/arpen), the Bloodcrystal Raven skull (bought with PvP coins, that is glory), and the GWF (or GF if you don't have a GWF alt) artifact from Module 3. Less affordable is the Thayan Book of the Dead, which is great if you love your AP gain and dailies. And then of course there's the truly expensive stuff, and I'm sure you can figure that out for yourself. Basically Artifacts are a way to get more stats in Domination PvP, and a nice effect every 3 mins.
  List of artifacts: http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Artifact
  
  Open-world PvP with Module 3 allows pets. I haven't played that yet, but my thought is you'll see a lot of:
  - Stone (or cat) for more stats
  - Reflect pets such as Evoker (VT drop) and Blacksmith (Zen market) to damage those that hit you. Blacksmith has already been adjusted because it was just too crazy.
  - CC resist pets such as Sylph and Will-O-Wisp (I am waiting to see a GWF with 100% cc resist sprint after HRs and kill them all with extreme prejudice)
  - Buff / Debuff pets such as Rust Monster, Panther, Honey Badger
  - For those that REALLY love their dailies, AP gain pets such as Sprite
  
  I am expecting more changes to pets in PvP, but maybe that won't come. Devs have stated that open-world PvP is about balance a distant third, and fun and immersion first and second. I am really curious how that design choice will play out in practice once the server at large hits that zone.

  For PVP, yes. Doing those two is pretty much what needs to be done in order to get PVP gear with tenacity and the Bloodcrystal Artifact. You will get armour, jewellery and the artifact from doing those two.

  PSA: You don't need to grind Spinward Rise for your Elemental artifact main hand if you have some AD lying around. You can craft it via the Tyranny of Dragon's campaign screen.

  Does anybody know a good PVP guide appart from envy's?specially if talks about gear (dont know what shirt or trousers i should wear :S), i ve checked http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?642461-(Ant-Monster)-Guardian-Fighter-Review but is more a review than a guide.
  
  I have an idea of which powers i should use (max cc and gap ccloser), but dont have any clue about the path (its new to me), or the feats (conqueror i guess). Dont have a clue about BOOMs either, in fact i dont have any idea about adventures or however they are called ( yesterday i made few dayly quest in dread ring, but dont know if thats usefull).
  
  So if there s a guide similar to envy's but actuallized i would thank a lot a link to it
  
  PS: im also looking for pvp guild!
