Every week, Zach (http://thebattlemasters.com/) brings you the World of War(craft) (http://www.wow.com/category/the-art-of-war-craft), which talks about PvP (http://www.wow.com/category/pvp/) in all its myriad shapes and forms. It will be humorless and dry and deathly boring because Christian Belt already has the monopoly on funny and because cracking jokes in a PvP column just doesn't work since PvP people are supposed to be asshats, anyway.
BlizzCon (http://www.wow.com/category/blizzcon/) came and went and nothing is going to be the same again. At least not after Cataclysm (http://www.wow.com/tag/cataclysm), the third expansion for the World of Warcraft. Cataclysm is set to change the face of the game more than anything we've ever seen, it'll almost be like WoW 2.0. The classes are the same, but there'll be new races, new abilities, new mechanics, and a new, revamped world with a renewed faction conflict that will have deep implications for PvP (http://www.wow.com/category/pvp/).
Gameplay will change significantly, particularly for Warlocks (http://www.wow.com/category/warlock/) and Hunters (http://www.wow.com/category/hunter/), and there will be changes to talents, talent tree passive benefits, racial abilities, as well as entire systems to rate Battleground (http://www.wow.com/category/battlegrounds/) play. There will likely be an overhaul to the Arena (http://www.wow.com/category/arena/) ratings system, as well, perhaps as soon as Arena Season 7 (http://www.wow.com/category/season-7/) kicks in. Blizzard isn't content to sit idle on its success, but has in fact taken the opposite direction by overhauling the entire game. They're turning Azeroth on its ear, and it's going to be insane. After the jump, we'll take a look at how the Cataclysm is going to shape World of Warcraft PvP.Continue reading The Art of War(craft): Cataclysm PvP (http://www.wow.com/2009/08/28/the-art-of-war-craft-cataclysm-pvp/)
