PvP in WoW: New Talents Before 80

3. November 2008

Let’s face it, combat is a brief affair in Warcraft these days. Much of this is due to the fact that much like Burning Crusade, the new talents have been released, and there are a lot more players out there dishing out damage that level 70 gear isn’t really designed to handle. In this way, [...]

There’s been a lot of speculation as to how Blizzard will handle the transition of level 70 up to 80 arenas, and I’ve been a bit curious myself. Issues in question include whether they will still allow 70 rated matches and if so, what gear will be available to them? Well that question, at least, [...]

We’ve already seen how Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning seeks to revolutionize the way we PvP with RvR, so it would be expected that WAR will have a new take on World of Warcraft’s battlegrounds. Scenarios will offer more incentive to PvP in other places than in the open world, leading to less ganking for [...]

There’s been a lot of buzzing on the Warcraft forums recently as it related to expansion talents.
