I'm back playing. My hunter is driving me nuts because hes effectively broken In 2v2 and 3v3 without the right class combos. Sad too, I step into a BG and I can out damage the second slot by 30-40%. Full gladiator w/cross bow, full PvP epics... and I feel like a scrub in 2v2 with most partners. It's not that I cant shread things with constant flowing pain, it's that I can be LOS'd too easily by a healer and can't really burst well enough to get through priest or resto druid heals. The changes to 2.3 should really REALLY help me out in 2v2 (if not make me slightly OP in 5v5, we'll find out). Other than the annoyances, thanks to having decent partners (even if they arnt ideal class partners) and pretty much maxed out gear I'm still doing okay in the arena. I fell out of Gladiator title though in 2v2, I'd like to get that back up... but it's difficult with a frost mage *Note: Frost mages rock, just not in 2v2 with hunters*. If I can get another full glad warlock partner it'll be easy.
Other than that, I'm leveling up MY warlock and my girlfriend is leveling a shadow priest. Bout to ding 42 on my warlock. I've put my newer shaman (50ish) on the back burner until 2.3 and she's get her paladin on standby (64) until 2.3 as well I believe. Right now we'd rather go ahead and focus on capping our honor and arena points on our hunter/frost mage for 2.3 and hopefully get our warlock/priest combo up to 70 before 2.3 as well.
Given the state of the PTR (and it's bug list as long as the patch notes themselves) I think we have PLENTY of time to get these characters to 70, cap out of our arena points, and at the very least get a nice chunk of honor. I dunno if we'll hit the 75K honor cap, but I should have enough to grab a few pieces of vindicators. If I can get two pieces of vindicators I'll be content. That will let my hunter snag the new Hunter only 2hander axe (so sexy and only 1000 arena points since we have to drop the same amount of points on our xbow as warriors do their two handers) and two pieces of season 3 arena armor as well as two pieces of vindicator pvp honor epics. That's 5 pieces of super sexy gear to start the season off with and I'll be pretty damned close to getting a fourth piece of season 3 gear. No complaints.
I've pretty much stopped raiding entirely in favor of PvP. It's just more fun, but then again my realm kinda sucks as far as progression and decent raiders go.
