Want to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women? Blood Sport (http://www.wow.com/category/blood-sport/) investigates the entirety of all-things arena for gladiators and challengers alike. C. Christian Moore (http://www.wow.com/bloggers/c-christian-moore/), multiple rank 1 gladiator, examines the latest arena strategy, trends, compositions and more in WoW.com's (http://wow.com/) arena column.
Listening Music: Zero, by the Smashing Pumpkins (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBm_fuIeQL0). I knew I wanted to feature the pumpkins today, I just didn't know what song. I sifted through maybe twenty or thirty songs. I thought about featuring Cherub Rock, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Today, and The Everlasting Gaze, among others. 1979 was out of the question -- it feels like too much like Sesame Street to me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZIvgQ9ik48). In the end, it came down to Zero or Eye. I wanted to feature the Ghost in the Shell video of Eye (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ly_kFnCehw) (NSFW), but it's got a little cartoon nudity in it, so that's why we're going with Zero today.
Last Week: Part III of our beginner's arena guide (http://www.wow.com/2009/12/21/blood-sport-beginners-guide-to-arena-part-iii/). We discussed very basic arena strategy for many popular specs of each class. Last week's column is pretty long -- about twice the length of a normal Blood Sport article. Check it out if you have the time; it'll set a good foundation for today's subject.
This Week: We'll be talking about the qualities of a skilled arena healer. Full article after the break!Continue reading Blood Sport: Beginner's Guide to Arena, Part IV (http://www.wow.com/2010/01/01/blood-sport-beginners-guide-to-arena-part-iv/)
