What do you think about the new items? and specially,that two-handed sword, wow looks great

Iam scared S4 will be even more of a melee domination in arena then S3 , with spell pushbacks and counters spells pummels kicks, its already a risk to cast anything beyond 1.5 seconds.

I dont know where this is going , but those classes who are melee will be more dominating then they already are :P

Lets hope blizzard will balance stuff out or people stop playing casters for arena if this is going to continue :+)

I must admit those weapons looks awesome tough !

Thats a very good point, as an ex ele/resto sham player, id hate to still be playing that set up in S4 haha

The sword is meh. I personally LOVE the S3 sword and it's PvE counterapart, I dunno why. :)

Not really liking the sets either to be honest. S3 is just too good.

yeah thats right, but i think thats the problem, and one of the main issues of why in the oficial tournament there its going to be only s2, ( s4 brigns nerfing to druids etc)i think retri palas are happy about this s4 items XD

Meh, I'm starting to not like where Blizzard is taking this game overall. The whole PvP/PvE "balancing" path is not working well. Not at all.

yeah me too, long ago i heard from someone on my guild saying that wow could be separated, like you have your normal realms, with dungeons raids bgs , quests etc and then playing some extra $$ monthly you could have acces to a pvp realm( like this arena realms they are creating now, with ur pj 70 fully geared but just with the options of arena)
i like that idea because all this balacing inst gonna make happy 50% of wow people( not refering just to items stats but also new patches that release new arena seasons or new pve encounters, this things always affects)

I DO like that actually. Reminds me a bit of Guild Wars.
