For people wanting to do ranked arena, it looks like grinding gear won't be required anymore:


  • Trial of the Gladiator is the new Arena Ladder. It will concentrate queue times at certain times during the week, which will help higher rated people have others to play against and help to identify exploiters.
  • Trial of the Gladiator also uses tournament rules. You can buy gear from a vendor and play, no need to grind up a set. PvE gear won't work in here!
  • You will earn prestige rewards only from Trial of the Gladiator
