36 Minute Arena Match

The beginning of all my Arena Sessions usually start with, “Let’s do our 10 games for the week!” That leads to, “Let’s keep Arena’ing til 7pm!” On good days it leads to, “Let’s get XXXX rating so we can get our next piece of gear! We’re so close!” Sometimes it ends up with, “OMG let’s [...]

Season 8 Arena: Week One

The first week of Arena with my new Rogue partner was very fun. It felt really good to participate in Arena matches again. All these feelings I’ve had the last time I arena’d are coming back to me- and I’ve missed them all.
The rush of ending a match only a few seconds into the match; [...]

Over 1000 Resilience

So what did I do with all that Honor I farmed during the first two weeks of Season 8? New Wrathful gear! There are a couple of pieces you can pick up with just Honor that doesn’t have a Arena Rating Requirement on them. I made sure to pick them all up!

Patch 3.2 gave us [...]

Back into PvP Mode

When Patch 3.3.2 was released, it marked the beginning of Season 8 of Arena- which will also be the last season of the Wrath of the Lich King Expansion. It also gave me a new reason to start PvPing again, and more reason to kill Horde.

107k Honor in one day!
Since I am now on a [...]

Arcane Mage PvP: Never Give Up

Here is a video from Round 4 of the second Best of Five Grandfinals match between SK Gaming Asia and HON. Yea I don’t know what means either, I’m just quoting what I read from the description. All I know is that this is a match between two well known Arena teams, and Mages were [...]

Mage PvP Gear: Season 5

While I was on an honor farming spree last week to upgrade my PvP gear, I made frequent visits to various sites, and took note of which gear is out there that I could acquire. I took note of how much honor or emblems I needed to help plan out what my goal was to [...]

Doing an Insane Amount of Honor Farming

After my failure of a Season 5 Arena debut last week, I made it a mission to replace all my level 70 PvP gear, and to make sure I’m prepared for next time. I had plenty of time during the day Saturday and Sunday to work with. I would farmed more honor if stuff like [...]

Season 5 Arena: WTF is up with my Rating!?

I’ve been doing PvE content for quite some time now ever since I hit level 80. With all end game raiding content cleared for awhile, I’ve been doing pretty much the same thing over the past couple weeks, and I figured it’s time to do something different. Maybe some Arena for a change?
I know I [...]

My Arena Gear Setup

My Arena Gear setup is somewhat different from what most Arena experts would expect. Instead of stacking Stamina and Resilience like a good little Mage, I opted for more quick and destructive approach. So far it has proven to work in 2v2 and 3v3 quite nicely.

At a quick glance, you would see I have Season [...]

Arena Woes

Finally, I was able to get back to Arena. For the past 3 weeks, either me or my partner were unable to be on at the same time to get our 10+ games in for points. So after weeks of packing, moving, going on trips, power outages, internet difficulties, and sickness, we are back! But [...]

Hpwnwork Assignment #1 – Team B

Continuing our assignment, we now look at the other team, Team B. Team A’s setup and strategy can be read HERE.
Here is another look at the assignment:

Part One:
“For each class involved, pick a spec for them that you think works for the particular makeups.”
Time to work on the bottom team! Here is a look at [...]

Hpwnwork Assignment #1 – Team A

Megan from Out of Mana posted an Arena Assignment for the readers to come up with a spec for all the players, and pretty much explain what each player will be doing given the team makeup and opponent. She gave the assignment a week and a half ago, and just like I would in real [...]

More Arena in Week Two

Now that I had enough games for Geldin for the week, time to get Utada some Arena points. Right now she is only in a 2v2 team. Her partner, as you may already know, is a Warlock, and we did a lot better this week. Last week we went 25-25 and ended with a rating [...]

Week 2 of Season 4

I played 10 games the first week on Geldin, in a PMR 3v3 setup. Doomilias was the Rogue, and our friend Carl was playing his Priest. We went 5-5 and ended up with 1505 rating. We blamed competitive nature of the first week of the season, and the fact that last season’s high rating teams [...]

The Power of PMR

One of the top rated 3v3 team setup in Arena is Priest/Mage/Rogue (PMR). PMR is known for its excellent burst damage, great survivability, and superior crowd control. It is a force to be reckon with. An offense oriented team, PMR applies a lot of pressure, and forces the other team to be stuck on the defensive until they crumble.
Priest:

First week of Season 4

So I tried to start PvPing again, and remembered how frustrating it was starting off. There is still a good deal of competition in the 1500 ratings. I myself am still very rusty. My reaction time and decision making during fights have been pretty bad. Missing my Counterspells, attacking wrong target, not keeping a target [...]
