5v5 arena - no help

[Fat Tire]

correct me if i'm wrong, but ALL gear that you can buy with arena points REQUIRES a rating .. so unless you can actually win games, you're wasting time in arena. Seriously, I would love to be wrong here ...

Deadly gear does not need any arena rating nor any arena points. You can buy the set via honor alone! Now with that said you also have the option of buying deadly with honor AND arena points combined making that set overall cheaper. Furious and Relentless need Rating. So even if you cant win a single game you can still gear up via deadly armor and furious/WG off pieces.

i would PREFER the option to buy gear with arena points + honor - then at least there would be a point to losing 10 games / week - but I have yet to see where that's possible. What's your source? linkz pls

Deadly can be bought with arena points AND honor. It has no rating requirements and is an incentive for people without gear to queue for arena so the relentless guys can beat them up by facerolling.

I believe the vendor for the above is in Dalaran. It's been this way for a long time bro =)

Just go into the sewers of Dalaran to the arena vendor. There's a dude standing right next to him that is something like the "amatuer" arena vendor (something like that name) that sells gear for arena points and honor combination. The expensive pieces are like 12k honor and 350 arena points, which means you can pretty much get a new item every week if you just do your 10 5v5 games.

I have full arena gear on my guys and like a 200 rating (not proud, but I mostly dance anyway!).

You can farm your arena points by losing then find someone to carry you to 1800pr (for the low tier weapon) for gold pretty easily (may require additional fee!)
