Hopefully someone comes up with the links soon so we can see if its worth us spending current points at all or just saving them all.

Rogues are the only ones that are different.

Probably. Jesus, that bonus is old. Wasn't it first on the blue gloves back when the whole honor system originally debuted? Same story for 10sec on HoJ.

Does anyone have any idea how this second set will work?
Will it cost more points? will it be better? will you need the original item? Any info?

Do we know when season 2 begins yet?

One has to ask, what is the point in making two different Warlock sets, one (I would imagine, as it is now) for Affliction, the other Destruction, and then giving them both a Destruction set bonus.

Um are you sure this is season 2 gear or just the season 1 stuff tweaked (set bonuses changed). My set bonuses didn't change at all so I can't tell, but when I visited the area52 vendor there was only the new healing gear and the names/stats were pretty much the same for warlock gear.

So instead of adding new rewards in season 2, they just upgrade the existing sets, leaving the itemization holes for healers wide, wide open? That's sad =(

Considering the lack of guilds in SCC and The Eye, I don't know if releasing new arena sets would be a good idea, unless they're sending a clear message the best/easiest way for epics is the arena.

Tier 4 = ilvl 105
Arena Season 1 = ilvl 111
Tier 5 = ilvl 115
Arena Season 2 = ???

I think that arena season 2 must be on pair with tier6, whats tier 6 ilvl?

packetlss · 04/22/07, 6:05 PM

Tier 6 gear is ilvl 135.

I imagine it's just an error, current arena is gear is fear/immolate, no?

That would be criminal. Getting tier 6 gear just by saving arena points for the first season? How many pve raiders will get BT gear by raiding Gruul for a year and then magically turning that experience into T6?

I think instead arena 2 is just a fancy way to describe returning the arena set pieces, which are pretty cool. Although changing the set bonuses every 'season' would be a cool way to bring new flavors to pvp, although none of these set bonuses are what Id call 'creative' or 'innovative'.
