Improving WoW Arenas Rating and Getting Gladiator Gear
Easier Said Than Done
The primary purpose of this site is to offer a way
for WoW players to obtain gladiator gear from WoW arenas more quickly. This generally
is easier said than done, especially as a new player trying to break through the
ranks. The reason it is now so difficult to improve team rating as a new player
is because there are so many players who have already obtained a ton of PvP gear
through seasons 1 and 2. What this means is that a fresh player will be at a tremendous
disadvantage, facing many characters that already have many pieces of gladiator
gear. While skill is a factor with WoW arenas, your gear can make a significant
difference. A character in blue gear is very unlikely to be able to beat a character
in full gladiator gear. The largest differences you will see between geared characters
is resilience rating, crit rating, and hit points. A fully geared gladiator will
crit you more often, you will crit them less often, AND they have more hit points.
In many cases, you might as well be fighting 2 vs 1, the difference is that substantial.
If
you are just starting WoW arenas now, getting a 1500+ rating for your team will
be a significant accomplishment because everyone you face will outgear you. You
are also fighting an uphill battle. A 2v2 team with a "par" 1500 rating
will only gets 261 points each week. A heavily geared 2v2 team with 2500+ rating
will be getting over 1000 points each week. This means that the 2500 team will
not only outgear you now, but they will get better gear at a rate 4x faster than
is possible for your lowly 1500 team. It is virtually impossible to level the
playing field. The cheapest season 2 gladiator item is 1000 points, while the
most expensive 2hd weapons are nearly 4000 points.
If you are unfortunate
enough to be one of the undergeared players, your best bet to become more competitive
quickly is to play alot of PvP battlegrounds and obtain armor/items from there.
While these items are not as good as the gladiator items, you can obtain them
much more quickly than the gladiator items. An average player will probably be
able to get at least 1 or 2 PvP items per week by playing battlegrounds (BGs)
moderately. Typically the best honor is obtained by doing quick Alterac Valley
matches, even if you don't win all the time. Getting PvP/BG gear will improve
your resilience, crit rating, HPs, and all other important stats that you will
need for arenas. While getting the BG gear, you might as well do some arenas as
well, you will probably get your first arena piece after a full month of playing
BGs. If you want some help to get BG gear more quickly, PGMx
can help with their PvP services.
Take Advantage of the WoW Arenas
Flawed Rating/Rewards System
A significant flaw in the WoW arenas system
is that when you play against other teams, the only thing that is considered to
determine the amount of points you win or lose is the rating of each team. The
characters and the gear used by each team is not a factor, only your rating is
a factor. This means that you could be facing characters that have a really well
ranked (2000+) 5v5 team, but a crappy 2v2 team (1500+). As a result, they will
be fighting your 2v2 team in full gladiator gear and if you win or lose, your
rating will be affected by 15 points.
The good news is that you can use
the flawed rating system to your advantage. The most important things to note
to help you to take advantage of the arena rating/rewards system are the following:
1.
You only need to do 10 matches per week in order to get credit/points for your
team that week.
2. You only get credit for one team (the best) each week. 2v2
teams earn 76% of the points of a 5v5 team with the same rating. 3v3 teams earn
88% of the points of a 5v5 team with the same raing. This means that if you have
an 1800+ rated 5v5 team, that you are receiving no benefit from a 2v2 or 3v3 team
that is rated 1800 or less.
3. Each team can have 2x the required players on
the team roster. A 2v2 team can have 4 players, 3v3 can have 6, 5v5 can have 10.
4.
Each character only needs to play 30% of the total matches in order to get credit.
This means that if your team plays 10 matches, each character only has to actually
play 3 matches in order to get credit.
As the system is currently, it is
extremely easy to take advantage of. If you have a high ranked team, it is an
opportunity to make some very easy gold and/or cash. If you are looking for some
fast arena points, you should easily be able to find some high ranked teams that
would be willing to help you get points 4x faster than you would be able to "the
hard way" working your way up from the bottom - in exchange for some gold
or cash.
The arena system can be taken advantage of very easily, just by
doing the following:
1. Team A (5v5) has a great rating, 2500+
2. Team
A invites 5 poorly geared players to their team (the B team), and lets them play
just 3 matches (30%) - chances are, every single match will be a loss for the
B team.
3. Team A will take over, and do 7 matches, to reach the 10 match quota
for the week. Chances are, they will probably win most of the matches, and the
rating will stay high.
4. After the weekly reset, all 10 players from team
A and team B will get full points for the week.
5. Repeat every week.
6.
Another alternative is to bring a team rating up very quickly, and sell the entire
team charter. The person who buys the team charter will be starting with a very
high rating, and they will only have to complete 10 matches every week to get
the points. Even if the buyer loses every single match, the team rating will only
decrease a small amount each week and will result in many more arena points each
week than would have been possible working from the bottom with a low rating.
