Next Arena season + Item Upgrade Info

Recommended Posts

Check it! New arena thread, just chock-full of blue posts: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.h...=1&pageNo=1

Of particular relevance is this post by Drysc, a blizzard poster:

I'll try to answer most of the common questions posed since the my last post.

Yes, new Arena weapons are included. All of the current items will see new versions for season 2, with some new additions.

The new honor rewards will be new versions of the epic items (boot, belt, bracer). A new back-slot item won't be added, but a new ring will be available.

The arena set items are always intended to match their equivalent tier sets in appearance to easily link them through visual recognition to their PvE counterparts.

Arena season 1 item cost reduction will be about 15%.

There are more healing-centric items planned for season 2.

The patch today was not intended to be, nor was it, the patch that would coincide with the start of season 2. We're still hoping for June 12 but it will come down to testing. The possibility that it won't make the 12th is still very much there, but as I said earlier we'll hopefully know by Friday and will let you know as soon as we do.

Yes, the trinkets will remove all "movement impairing effects and all effects which cause loss of control of your character." That includes Cyclone as you lose control of your character. The phrasing in quotes can be taken quite literally.

Truthfully the previous trinkets were based on limitations that didn't allow us to simply dispel any and all effects, and so the best three were chosen in each case. Now each player has the ability, which at the very best can be used every 2 minutes, to remove a crowd control ability. This is obviously going to result in some abilities that couldn't be removed before now being able to be removed. It's going to be something to adapt to, but the ability of yours that can now be removed is the same as the ability that's on you that you couldn't remove before. If you choose to remove that ability now you had better be sure there's not another one within two minutes that's going to be worse (or just reapplied).
