My first day in the Arenas
I made my lvl 70 Priest/4xLock team many months ago then started on my 5xShaman team just for fun. Then stopped playing for 3 months due to work and such. After coming back to WoW this week, I heard as long as you play 10 Arena games (win or lose) a week you get Arena points. So I thought why not, I'll just mess around and accumulate some Arena points and get better items.
So far my record is 1-12 (1 win came from a team that just quit for some reason) and I think I managed to get 1 kill during the 13 games played :wacko: .
Just wondering if you are really able to get decent items just by playing 10 Arena games a week or if it's better to play more and if any other Priest/4xLock teams have any strategies that they are willing to share.
I'm shooting for 2 kills next week :thumbsup: .

hehehehe, sounds exactly the same as my team...0-11 first week, 1-9 this week with the win coming from a team insta-leaving and 1 kill all up. I'm at the stage now where it will just be get in, get the games, get out, get the points since I really only want the season 2 maces for my paladin and priest and good main-hands for my casters so am just trying to hit 2700 points before s4 starts.
I don't see the point to even worrying about arena's come the s4 release unless you are purely focused on PvP and arena since nearly everything worthwhile will have rating requirements (even if they are lowered for the s3 gear) that will effectively put them out of reach for casual multi-boxers with non-optimal groups.
I'd actually love to see them keep the arenas bracketed and have each season still available as arena gear but limit the entry along the lines of anyone queued up in a group with at least one peice of s2 gear can't be put into an s1 bracket, etc. This would allow people to avoid bg's if they are only interested in arenas AND be reasonably competitive in the arena bracket they are fighting in as they know no-one else will outgear them by too much. As it is now when I go into an arena with no pvp gear I could be facing a full s3 team and have no chance, if they had all the brackets I'd be facing a team in a maximum of all s1 gear, and if I take the time to get rep for the blue gear I'm fairly even with them so I go around and have some even matches to get points to buy s1 gear....keep playing and get points to buy some s2 gear which them moves me up into the s2 bracket from now on...seems simple, seems fair and puts the sport back into the e-sport.
