Season 3 killed T6 looks.

[Fuggle]

A lot of the T6 sets looked wearable, especially my awesome T6 priest absolution gear, aka the best T6 in the game (Don't you dare pull a 9 year old boy and say T6 Lock. That set sucks the big one). Then S3 skins are released and they uglified everything. Absolution gear was not meant to be blue and maroon. Terrible color scheme.

Looks are looks, but arena as a whole definately killed the appearance value of Tier gear. I mean, come on, the other day I inspeced this noob rogue in Ironforge, he was wearing quest blues / greens, had like a 1200 rating arena team and Merciless gloves.

It is not difficult to jump on the mooching bandwagon and just play your 10 games a week for free epix, while it does take committment (and hours of frustration) to earn your Tier gear.

^^ i am a disagree with that as a shit arena team your only earing 225 points a week granted only ten matches but i the type of person who wants to get better so arena is that biggest pain in my ass where going into raids althoug longer is more enjoyable as a dps'er( and doing high dps)

It is more than possible to have 1500-1600 arena rating in any bracket with badly geared people who know how to play, or just have a killer setup.

I mean, I got 1750 rating in 2v2 in the beginning of S2 with 0 resilience and no PvP Trinket. Some of my friends made Rogue alts, they have 1600 rating in 2v2 with blues / simple Kara epics.

Also, depends on what you're raiding. Karazhan and early 25mans are piss easy, while some of the mid-later 25mans require very good co-ordination and teamwork.

If you fail at arena, try a different setup. Obviously, you have to understand that the higher your rating, the more of a gear check arena becomes. The end of S2 is nearing and typically every team in 1700+ bracket is full / almost full merciless.

As a Rogue, try doing arena with a Discipline Priest or a Resto Druid. I'm a resto druid and I do arena with a rogue, started the team 3 weeks ago and managed to get up to 1800 (I had ~100 resilience, Rogue had ~200). It's all about just playing a lot really and perfecting your teamwork. Playing 10 games a week is not going to make you a better player.

edit on topic:
Season 3 gear is really ****ed up. They seriously managed to screw feral druids over big time. S3 => practically best PvE DPS set now (and pretty bueno for tanking). S3 Druid Staff => best PvE DPS weapon in game (the new one in Zul'Aman is a joke, like Pillar of Lol).

Mage rogue paladin and shaman look halfway decent...mage should have looked like that in the first place, purple is ugly but other than that the others look horrible


Edit: The Vengeful Gladiator weapons arent that bad, I like how they added new skins (finally lazy bastards) and i also like how on most of the items it requires a personal arena rating of 1850 to use the item

[Fuggle]

Not really new skins, just reused raid skins.

Yeah the S arena gear is dumb. They should have made it look somethign other than T6. There is a reason why people spend hours daily raiding and others pvping.
