PvP builds, RNG and matching, can be incredibly frustrating. Since PvP is very stressful. Spending Marks is your only reward.
MY PERSONAL OPINION
I spend my Marks on Enchant Recipes, Tier 18 Coliseum Weapons (current maximum tier), and Enchanter's Lockbox. If you like PvP, then buy the Coliseum Tier 18 Amulet, Ring and Cloak.
PvP Shop Enchant Recipes are ridiculously cheap. They are also a lot less frustrating than trying to get a Recipe Drop from a Dungeon you no longer get Hero Score from completing. Once you have all the Enchant Recipes you need, you can save up for the Tier 18 Coliseum Weapon.
You can use one piece of Coliseum gear in PvE with only a -2% Damage penalty. If you use two pieces, the penalty is too high for most gear(-4% Damage penalty) Though 2h Weapons are the exception (extra damage makes up for the extra -2% Damage penalty). Your Weapon is the most important single piece of gear. So I save up for the Tier 18 Coliseum Weapon, then use it in PvE until I can get the Tier 19 Weapon from TVal or HoliGob. Once I have the Tier 19 Weapon, I use the Tier 18 Coliseum Leg Armor since the Lucky Tier 19 Leg Armor is so expensive. Coliseum Gear and Seasonal Gear is much cheaper in hours spent earning, and GS spend burning, than raid Tier 18 gear. Seasonal Tier 19 gear is actually better than raid Tier 18 gear.
Lean War Mage Cassidy had the following PvE 2h Staves- GS Tier 6 Staff, GS Tier 11 Staff, Raid Tier 14 Staff, Coliseum Tier 16 Staff (-4% Damage), TVal (& HoliGob) Tier 19 Staff.
She would have gotten the Raid Tier 16 Staff & Coliseum Tier 18 Staff (-4% Damage), but she still had the Raid Tier 14 Staff when she got the TVal Tier 19 Staff. So she bought the Coliseum Tier 16 (-4% Damage) until she could level enough to use the Tier 19 TVal Staff. Once she unlocked the TVal Tier 19 Staff, she bought Coliseum Tier 18 Leg Armor (-2% Damage VS Monsters) for use in both PvE and PvP.
If you like PvP, you can also buy the Tier 18 Coliseum Amulet, Ring and Cloak. Enchants like Luck, Energy Regen, and Healing are useless in PvP. So you might want two sets of Enchanted Amulet, Ring and Cloak. While you are enchanting two sets, your PvP set may as well be Coliseum Gear for the +3% Damage VS Player.
After buying all the above, the Enchanters Lockbox give you Enchant Materials to improve your PvE and PvP Enchants. You can also use the Materials to transfer your Enchants when you get higher level gear or Venan releases higher level gear for BoH.
Even if you are loaded with Enchant Materials, it is usually not worth the expense of creating, and transferring, two full sets of enchants (PvE Gear & PvP Gear, 36 Enchants total) unless you are in Master League where they supposedly don't have much else to buy with Marks.
