Rated blood ring

[Elleshar]

If rated arenas were ever to become a thing, should consumes maybe be restricted to just conjured items like it is in retail?

Like in TBC/WotLK, I would say, meaning a limitation on the types of consumables as well as spells with too long cooldowns.

Excessive use of powerful consumables would ruin everything, I believe.

But well, until we get to that point...

Yeah probably for the best, I think trinkets with over 10 min cd was disabled too for tbc/wotlk arenas.

Yep, same rules regarding trinkets and long cd abilities should apply imo

I think you could allow some consumes.

Without free action potion playing pug warrior may as well just be an instant loss.

Also would you ban nades??

Could definitely ban the sleep trinket and sleep dust. Maybe make it so invon sets off a CD so you can't icelock 2x, lip, then get a bop.

Banning all consumes seems too much imo.

I don't care too much tbh, all I want is some competetive place to pvp. The details aren't so important and could be iterated on imo :)

Rated arenas, and I'll drop wow classic on retail

Yes this for sure. Just an iteration to find a fun competition

i check this topic on weekly basis for almost a year.
Still, the rated arena has not yet been initiated.
I actually began to believe that it will not happen here.

Yea, and I've been checking it as well since i started it in September. Starting to lose hope. Turtle not having rated arenas is the only thing that makes me consider epoch over it

I'll just say one thing, apart from bandages and healthstone if you're with warlock and food/water if ur with mage, there should be no consumables. Also ban the obvious Lay on Hands/Recklessness and whatever else was banned on Tbc.

Yes please it would give me the reason to actually play the game instead of either raidlogging or sitting in Orgrimmar selling enchants

same item rules as tbc/wrath for arenas is the way to go imo. So yes, I totally agree with u. Maybe ban skull of impending doom also, but its not so major.

Totally agree, rated arenas is loved by so many in later expansions. It's a feature that shouldnt be so hard to implement and would be loved by the pvp community
