  3. 2nd :P

    well seems like the whole new offset wont need any rating except for boots and belt+relic, weirdo

  4. Gearing PvP is just getting easier and easier, but I just hope that it is possible to earn Relentless and non-rating Wrathful pieces without doing PvE. PvP is one thing, PvE is another thing, keep them separated, and not like it was before this season, where you bought Furious for PvE emblems.

  5. Thanks for that fast post akrios o:

  6. Think back to season 1 and 2. No rating what so ever. I think this wil bring back a little more life to the bgs and makes life more fun for the less skilled players such as myself. The items that where hard to reach is still at the same rating however so you can still be proud of your weapons and shoulders.

  8. Glad I can get some offsets immediately instead of having to farm some arena like a bitch for a day or two.

  9. the older furious weapons or relentless weapons would of been nice to get from honor aswell but owell still going to be very addictive for most people just farming battlegrounds

  10. “the older furious weapons or relentless weapons would of been nice to get from honor aswell but owell still going to be very addictive for most people just farming battlegrounds”

    stupidst thing I ever read

    Comment by Golin — February 2, 2010 @ 11:46 pm

  11. #10: it used to be like that, and getting pvp gear is still a lot harder than pve, which makes it harder for ppl who arrived later then the launch of wotlk to do some pvp.
    No one likes Monopols :/

  12. Uhmm so– i am still a little dazed by htis.
    ok so relentless MAIN-gear will be purchasable for honor only? AND partially offset Wrathful gear as well for only honor?

    What’s with arena points? does anythig cost Arena points?

    weird.

    Comment by shin — February 3, 2010 @ 3:48 am

  13. the wrath-arena sets cost arena points but not the non-sets^^
    @12.

    Comment by Antraxo — February 3, 2010 @ 4:29 am

  14. thx @ 13.
    And what about the relentless (s7) main set? is it available for honor as well?
    or honor & arena pts?

    ..

    Comment by shin — February 3, 2010 @ 6:10 am

  15. @14, Relentless (S7) is honor & arena points or, if you choose, frost badges. To buy furious, it requires honor only.

    Comment by Rando — February 3, 2010 @ 9:28 am

  16. P.s. the Relentless for honor & arena points have no rating requirement anymore.

    Comment by Rando — February 3, 2010 @ 9:29 am

  17. Went to the vendor immediately bought my relentless belt and bracers like I had planned, only having hit 80 a week before the patch, happily gemmed and socketed, and enchanted them, feeling quite proud of my full set of questing blues and sons of hodir rep daggers, now complimented by these beautiful relentless offsets, so out of curiosity I click the vendor to the right, to see their soon to be replacements once my healer gets his time card and… .THEY DON’T REQUIRE RATING?!??!!? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    Wonder if I’m not the only poor son of a bitch who didn’t look first.

  18. i like pvp :D

    Comment by Golin — February 3, 2010 @ 8:19 pm

  19. @18 … me too xD

    Comment by Antraxo — February 5, 2010 @ 1:15 pm

  20. Akrios, what do you think of them leaving the weapons from last season and lowering the rating to like 1650 for s7 weapons? This would be nice for my alts because I dont like farming 2k on all my toons and I hate pveing for good weapons (Raiding) “PVE people are a little uptight”.

    Comment by Jeremy — February 5, 2010 @ 2:02 pm

  21. It doesn’t hurt if you PvE a few hours a week.

    Comment by DarkHitman — February 5, 2010 @ 5:22 pm

  22. would be better at 1750 for the “old seasson” weapons but than these weapons wont be “rare” u know what i mean?

    if u play 2000etc rating and get the weapon and after this new season comes and u see everyone walking around with the weapon u worked “day and night” for i think its ok that they dont give the weapons to everyone and i personaly dont like pve’ing for weapons to but we have to do it : Pve :p

  25. PvP Specs needs an update …
    Says in the description of an envenom spec that eviscerate should replace envenom, instead of vice versa

  26. Akriosb btw, this isn’t rogue related, still, where is Nition :O

    Comment by DarkHitman — February 10, 2010 @ 5:17 pm
