Season 5 Arena Gash

I come to you today with a question. A burning, soul searing question, the likes of which have not been asked since times of old. That question, my friends, is thus: WHAT THE HOLY (insert own obscenity here) IS THIS GEAR?

I can’t even begin to describe the utter tripe that is the model for that sword. Likewise I struggle for words when I gave upon my miners helmet. Who would have thought that we would be playing this entire season underground? Seriously, I understand that Northrend took a hell of a lot of work, and the expansion comes before pvp of course, but… well, what the hell is this? I LONG for recoloured skins of PvE gear now. I’d have been happy if you’d reused the S1 models for the weapons. The new Shield Wall is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in WoW, it looks like a clam shell with a pair of scissors stuck to the front, and it’s about as big as well. It couldn’t protect you from a food fight, let alone a Titan’s Grip warrior thundering toward you.

I’m sorry. I really am. I never rant usually, at least not in public. But the look of this gear is so appallingly dire that I just couldn’t contain it. Do yourself a favour, PvP in Heroic gear. Save yourself the shame.
