WoW PvP Guide for Season 5 – As Season 5 dawned on the World of Warcraft in December of last year, the game saw the first new season at a top level since the first season that launched after TBC and it was a bit of a mess to get started. That’s not to say that Blizzard dropped the ball anywhere with the launch. It was more a matter of players having to start from scratch, trying to figure out where to go with their gear, their character levels, their strategies and their class specs. It was all different and no one had been able to practice anything yet – after all, Arena rarely goes into beta or PTR and when it does it’s not very representative of entire Battlegroups. So, gear for Season 5 is just now settling down and players are getting prepped for Season 6 as they eyeball a brighter future for their characters that are not performing as well right now.
Where Players Started
To get started, players had to wear their PvE gear into the Arena. It was required because there was no beginner level PvP gear at Level 80 to choose from. You couldn’t wear your Season 4 gear in because it was from Level 70 and even crafted gear was not quite up to par for beginners in PvP. So there was a lot of mid-level dungeon gear in there.
As players continued to play and grind their honor, they could started getting the Savage Gladiator rare gear set that was available for honor points and emblems of heroism at Level 80 without having to play in the Arena. The next level of Gladiator Gear (there were three this time around) was made available through honor points, off of Archavon in Lake Wintergrasp and in the Arena.
The last level of gear, the Hateful Gladiator gear that caps out Season 5 sets was only available after you reached a 2150 (now 2050) arena rating. It can be had through Archavon on 25 man and through combos of Honor and Arena points and will take most of Season 5 to gather together.
The Best Sets
Almost two months into the season though, there is no consensus on the best gear for your needs in the arena and for a couple of good reasons. First of all, there is no use in getting resilience in Season 5 because it doesn’t cap out for maximum effectiveness so burst is the name of the game in the arena right now. Only top teams are even using healing strategies at the highest rating levels. So, prepare for Season 6, build your sets and be ready to start upgrading immediately when it goes live later this year.
Season 5 PvP has been a huge success thus far but only for those that adapt quickly and know what gear to have and when. Are you in the short list of top performers or are you languishing behind with your old gear. Check out this WoW PvP Guide today to learn how to improve your standings.

Before Wrath of the Lich King, World PvP was a pretty simple aspect of World of Warcraft. There were a handful of objectives in Outland that allowed players to do a couple of very simple tasks like retaking Haala or killing their opponents and taking the towers or beacons in Zangarmarsh, Hellfire or Terokkar Forest. The objectives were easy but no one really did them because the reward was minimal and was often zone-wide so everyone got it. There was no reason to join in if a dozen other players did it for you once every hour or two.
But that all changed when WotLK hit and the game started emphasizing more advanced, real time battles in World PvP with their first real time PvP battle zone in Lake Wintergrasp. The new zone had players facing off in epic battles on the live server (no instancing) and getting rewarded with points that would allow them to buy rare and valuable items such as the new Heirloom items that can be used on any character in the account from level 1 to 80 and beyond.
In addition to the way in which the game now works on live servers, many players can get directly involved to include a slew of different ways in which players can take advantage of weaknesses of their opponents, use PvP to get into PvE content and then get rewarded with everything from Emblems of Heroism to the rare and valuable Season 5 Gear.
In the end, while there are new PvP objectives and World PvP options in Grizzly Hills as well, you are only going to hear about Lake Wintergrasp where Blizzard has put into place more options than ever before to get players involved, ensure that the content remains fresh and relevant and to build up a means by which they can grow their PvP options to compete with other MMOs built entirely on PvP like Warhammer Online.
World PvP is here to stay and as the popularity of Lake Wintergrasp dicates, you can expect a whole slew of new options in future patches and expansions as the game gets more depth added to real world PvP. Expect that your skill level now will have a huge impact on how you perform in the future as well, especially if you want to start getting the top rewards and achievements.
