Arena Season 9 Models Preview
It's time for some PvP love! Just like with any model preview, you have to keep in mind that I don't have really have any decent way to check how the sets are supposed to be displayed in the first place and it always lead to a few errors (Mostly on glove/boots models). The multi race/gender preview will most likely be available when Blizzard finishes polishing the sets and actually deploy them on beta servers.

Death Knight



Druid



Hunter



Mage



Paladin



Priest



Rogue



Shaman



Warlock



Warrior

We've been toying with a change to Divine Storm to make it more like Fan of Knives. Specifically, you could use it whenever you want, for mana, but it would share a cooldown with Crusader Strike. It would have nothing to do with Holy Power (unless Divine Purpose still applied). The idea would be that sometimes you're okay giving up the single target rotation of Crusader Strike -> Templar's Verdict in return for being able to use an AE attack every 4.5 to 3 sec. It's too early yet to know if this design will work out.

Divine Storm has a great visual and many long-time Ret paladins have a soft spot for it, so we'd like to get it back to more common use. (Source)

Searing Totem
As I said a few weeks ago, we're still working on the AI of Searing Totem. If we can chill out its latent homicidal tendencies, then we could consider bumping the range. Currently bumping the range would just infuriate your group leader more often. (Source)

    Never paid attention to this Red Shirt Guy fuss until just now when I saw this thread.
    I don't think there is anything wrong with his voice, what's up with that?
    He's very brave to ask a question in a huge event like this. Personally I know myself woudn't even dare to raise my hand with so many people present.

    I dont get the first picture. Is it supposed to be Mora's son?

    I like that they're looking to change Divine Storm into a more used spell. Indeed lots of people have asked for it to be a cooldown like Crusader strike that builds holy power.

    I love the gun metal look to the warrior set. The hunter set is kinda funny. There's an eye patch, yet it's meant for marksmen. But it wins for Shredder reference.

    Are you really that ignorant? It says exactly who the npc is and they have links to explain it right above the picture, unbelievable...

    Well, it's now official, Blizzard is out of ideas for pvp sets.
    See, warrior armor, taking that idea off Guild wars, especially the Obsidian Armor Warrior Helmet (and kinda the rest of the set too :/)
    That's sad.

    Shredder (ninja turtles) called, he wants his gear back. Hunters are going to ph34r the turtles.

    Any chance I could have my Wildhammer rep back?

    Not sure why so many are complaining about these. They are pvp sets, and the majority of the people complaining probably don't pvp anyway. In my opinion they finally made the pvp sets look better than pve. Congrats to blizz for doing it at last. Too bad they still went with power ranger looks for the paladin set. The hunter set looks pretty awesome though. The mage set, kind of meh, but I don't mind it. My pvp mains are mage, priest, and druid. The druid set looks awesome, and the priest set looks pretty great too.

    It looks to me like Blizzard out sourced their entire design team. They came up with eastern influenced crappy design that are very half assed. I personal cannot believe how terrible the PVE looks. I was looking forward to seeing how the PVP set would look until I actually saw them. OMFG they are horridness. The designs for the PVE were like, "Ok, this is kinda hard to swallow but fuck it. If I want to advance I have to.", but the PVP is like "HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOW COULD THEY PRODUCE SOMETHING THAT FUCKING BAD! I want to quit (PVPing) which I am in love with just because I do not want to be a part of ANY gratification that blizzard may get by making shitty fucking armor designs". It is almost like Blizzard is seeing just how bad they can make people characters look before they quit playing.

    haha, kudos to the red-shirt guy.

    Also: I think most of the PvP sets look much better than the Pve sets.

    Not that I really care in the end, gear is gear and I'll wear it if I want to get anywhere.

    edit: I hope they leave Divine Storm alone. I'm quite happy with it working off Holy Power and I really don't want to trade a guaranteed holy power for a little AoE. Anyone who's not really using it regular like either doesn't love their paladin or doesn't understand their rotation.

    Wtf? Why does Raid gear look like flaming sea-garbage with rocks attached to a burlap sack, & the PvP gear actually look like ARMOR?

    Red Shirt guy made the today's newspaper in the Toronto Sun. Not a big story, just a minor blip in the Web section, but out of 3 videos mentioned this was one of them. Found that to be pretty hilarious.

    Apparently I am. I have no idea what this picture is about. I re-read the links and it just said something about someone becoming an internet hero. I dont like obscure references to internet memes or watch fan videos, so Im not going to sit through it no matter the claims of how good it is. Really, I cant stand watching some random nobody's video rants, machinimas, un-funny commentaries, and such.

    But since it's so popular, Im sure you could have written up a 1 sentence explanation instead of wasting time reposting my post.
