With gear upgrades these days being so easy to come by, I’m not so sure ‘welfare epics’ is such an accurate term for PvP gear anymore. That said, Arena Season 5 started the other day without so much as a whimper. It kind of crept in quietly, without even a patch to go along with it. I’m sure it’s taken a few players by surprise to see so many new PvP gear available from different sources that it can get confusing. Don’t worry, we’re here to help you make sense of it all.

First of all, in the new PvP rewards system there are three tiers of PvP gear. The Savage Gladiator, Hateful Gladiator, and Deadly Gladiator are equivalent to Level 80 dungeon blues, 10-man raid epics, and 25-man raid epics respectively, with a lot of item points thrown in the way of Resilience and sometimes Stamina. These items aren’t the best for PvE, so gear accordingly. You’ll be wasting a lot of item points by way of Resilience, so keep in mind that all this new gear is best for your Battleground and Arena pursuits.

Arena Season 5 is here, a completely different season from all the ones before it because of three critical things. First, there are ten new levels. Even though rated Arena play will still be available at Level 70, the real PvP endgame is at Level 80, with new spell ranks, new abilities, and ten more sweet talent points for wonderful PvP tricks. Second, there’s an entirely new class to throw a monkeywrench into the equation. How does the Death Knight fit into new team comps? Will they be enough to curb Druid dominance in 2s and 3s? The metagame changes drastically with one more variable. Third, unlike previous seasons, there will be three tiers of Arena gear. Furthermore, there will be numerous sources of Season 5 gear, and not just Arena play. It will be quite possible for players to get entire sets of Gladiator gear without having to PvP at all!

This is a exploit only for the new Orgrimmar arena.

You just have to wait until your opponent gets close to one of the four moving pillars (marked in yellow):

And then fear him. If you are lucky enough, he’ll be feared into the pillar and them BAM. Instant disconnect.

This is similar to the old ‘kidney shot+fear’ CC disconnect.

Tested and working on EU as 7/11/2008.

First of all you have to choose this spec :

Then do 2 macros :

First one :

/equip Perforeuse du gladiateur impitoyable (equip your daggue)
/lancer Embuscade(Rang (launch ambush)

I found a way to get inside EVERY arena before it starts!

This is how:
1. Que up for arena and take off ALL of your gear that can be damaged.
2. Fly up on your mount in outlands and kill yourself untill the arena pops.
3. Once the arena pops, quickly hit enter battle followed by release spirit. (must hit enter battle first, then release spirit so that when you freeze to enter, the release spirit button is looking like its being pushed down.)
4. You will release your spirit in the middle of the arena! so quickly equip all your gear and get ready to fight!

So this probs one of the most best exploits since season1 arena for warlocks,
what Im about to share with you will put you into combat AND anyone else that buffs/healz your pet. Its kind of like healing someone who is in combat.

So Blizzard have made it that once warlock hellfire they don’t enter combat, BUT what if you have ’soul-link’. Soul Link - Spell - World of Warcraft

“When active, 15% of all damage taken by the caster is taken by your Imp,
Voidwalker, Succubus, Felhunter, Felguard, or enslaved demon instead. That
damage cannot be prevented. Lasts as long as the demon is active and
controlled.”

Well, as a 2.2k rated shadow priest I thought I might as well share a few tips out, in no particular order (note that some of these may be obvious, but you’d be surprised):

1) Warrior Spell-Reflect - Very simple one, just use Mind Soothe rank 3. 90 mana and his spell reflect is gone at no loss for you at all. I have it bound to Ctrl+4 (4 is my regular Shadow Word: Pain)

2) Warrior Openers - in 90% of your fights vs warriors the warrior WILL use pummel on your first spell as they never have enough rage for mortal strike so long as you keep shield up (seem obvious? the warrior will almost never pummel you when he can MS instead, timing is everything) Always use a fake cast on your first cast. This wastes their rage at no loss to you.
