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

Paladin (Forums / Cataclysm Talent Calculator / Beta Skills/Talents)
Divine Storm
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)

I thought that picture is a hoax....?

Does anyone else have another picture of that NPC there? Because that's the only picture that I've seen of it and all the other times I've seen it posted, someone said that it was a photo manip/model edit.

edit: I mean if anything, can someone else put out a picture that's higher quality? The JPEG compression if anything makes it look kinda gross and is below the standard of images put on MMO-Champ, if not concealing the photoshopping/model editing.

I mean, I'm not saying this as to crap on Redshirt's parade. I think it WOULD be an awesome idea to make some sort of reference to him... but the 3 times that I've seen this picture before, it was tagged with "hoax".

From TotalBiscuit (who is of course in the Beta) stating that that picture is fake: http://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/29178034276

The PvP sets look like PvP sets, and thzat has been a while. Most pvp sets looked Tier worthy while others weren't even worthy putting in this game.

Good job Blizz...for once. ^^

Way to go Red Shirt Boy! =)

[Dawon]

Oh lord.. my pally is gonna look like a mix of Powerrangers and the Birdmen!

Well, atleast it doesnt look like I put a stove on my head (yeah I'm looking at you warriors, let me borrow u for boiling this egg quickly?)

[Chin Music]

He had his own voice greetings and everything relating to his position.
