I'm trying to keep this post on top a bit longer to get a definitive version (more changes on this soon), however, news are still going so here is a condensed version of the last 3 days news. I also included the 2 hunter changes from Monday.


Meanwhile on PvPScene.com
It's been a long time since an article was posted here, I had to put it on standby for a while but don't worry, it's not closed.

• Pitbull - Arena Addons 4. (You can also check Arena Addons #1, #2, and #3 !)
  
  

Also note that we had more server issues today (and since the beginning of the 2.3 PTR), it should be fixed tomorrow, you might experience some random logout if you're a member (actually you're not really logged out, it's just a cache from a guest page). It will let me spend a lot more time to update the 2.3 changes and answer all the mails/PMs I got recently. ^^

Arena season 3 sets are here !
Druid: Gladiator's Refuge | Gladiator's Sanctuary | Gladiator's Wildhide
Hunter: Gladiator's Pursuit
Mage: Gladiator's Regalia

Zul'aman preview

• Boss strategies on Elitistjerks.com forums
  

When you enter the instance, you can start an event by talking to a NPC called "Harisson John". A 20 minutes countdown will start, the first boss will yell ... guess what ? You've got 20 minutes to kill him.

Kill order (If you're not doing the event, you don't have to kill them in this order)
1. Nalorakk (Bear god), 2. Akil'zon (Eagle god), 3. Jan'alai (Dragonhawk god), 4. Halazzi (Lynx god), 5. Malacrass (Big warlock troll), 6. Zul'jin (Bad guy)

Best case
If you kill the boss in time, you will free a prisonner and get an epic loot as a reward. (The prisoner will open a chest or some kind of other container, a bit like Majordomo).
Once the boss is killed, you get 20 more minutes to kill the next one, and 20 more minutes after the 2nd kill, etc ...

Worst case
If you wipe on a boss, you can't try it again before the end of the timer, it won't respawn.
Also, if you fail the event at some point, you won't get the 20 minutes countdown back after the kill. If you couldn't kill the first boss in time, you won't get any of the "bonus" loot for the following bosses.

Kill shots

The quest reward for [item=33102] is 10 more badges, you get 2 badges from each boss, and 3 from Malacrass and Zul'jin. That's a total of 14 Badges, with 10 more if you get the quest item. This quest is not repeatable

Very pretty indeed. Would anyone be able to clarify whether that is a sword or a bow at the bottom right on the weapons pic? I think it's a sword, but not totally sure.

Aww man that's awesome!!
How do you get those pictures?

The Zul'Aman weapon on the far left, have at a guess it's an offhand sword? It looks really neat.

(If you want to visualize it, picture holding the grip like you would a bicycle handle so that the blade runs down the outside of your forearm).

If that's what it is that's totally awesome.

Don't forget!
