That's One Secret I'll Never Tell

Hey upper east siders. Radikal here. And I have some of most delicious rumors ever. One of my many sources is saying that, yes, a full-time premades server dedicated to competitive arena is a go. Will this server redefine WoW arena or only redefine lame? Only time will tell but this gladiator remains highly skeptical. Time frame is unkown but, as the story breaks, Radikal's got his ear to the ground. Speaking of frames of time, 2.4 is upcoming and rumors abound. Rated warsongs are the big news and the arena elite are finishing up their dream teams. Haven't found a team yet? Don't worry, PvE is nice this time of year, and top end PvP isn't for everybody.

What you arena-ers out there might not find so nice this patch is pets will now receive the player's resilience -- is this the triumphant return of the warlock/druid snoozefest? Further improvements to limit resistances in games are also in the works -- I'm no astrologist but all signs point to a changing of the guard in the smaller brackets. Will the class balance changes dethrone druids in 2v2s? Is there anything in place to stall the slide from omnipotent to not so much for the arena mage? Only time and Blue will tell, but this blogger thinks that a patch this big spells fake patch note season. It might be getting colder outside, but keep your skepticism about you or find yourself getting burnt!

XOXO
Radikal

"Warlocks: The Felguard weapon animation has been updated to that of a third-tier blacksmithing weapon (we won't tell which!).

New Talent: Demonic Presence. Grants your felguard a 1/2/3/4/5% on melee attacks to stun it's target for 2 seconds."

(Felguard has been re-named skillguard)

I'm not seeing anything about resilience on pets anywhere.

I'd rather have pets get your Spell Pene and Hit rating.

Seems rather dubious.

No new BGs until WLK. This rated WSG is most likely part of the expansion IF it does actually happen.

2.4 Dragon's Breath and Cone of Cold no longer share a cooldown.

"2.4 Dragon's Breath and Cone of Cold no longer share a cooldown."

Also permafrost is switched with frost warding's place in the talent tree, dragon's breath's radius is increased by 10% per point in flame throwing and ignite no longer double dips on resilience. And the simultaneous crit bugs with ignite and master of elements are gone.

That would be a start.

Rated Warsong Gulch.

Am I the only one saying WTF?

There has been absolutely no information on this except from blogs written by players. This RUMOR has been around since before Patch 2.2. Can we give it a rest already? There is no rated Warsong Gulch.
