簡單的來說，因為目前2.3依舊在PTR上面測試中，所以以下提到的日期可能會有所延後。但是目前的規劃中，預計11月14號進行Patch 2.3的更新，11月21號開始競技場的第三季賽事。
原先競技場的稱號將會予以回收，而前0.5%的隊伍，將會收到全新不同造型的虛空龍（310%），根據其他藍帖表示，這新一季的0.5%隊伍，會得到「殘忍鬥士」的新稱號。
##CONTINUE##
常見問題解答：
Q1.儘管我第二季沒有達到標準，我能保有我原先的競技場稱號嗎？
A1.不會，競技場的稱號就像是棒球比賽中的獎項一樣，會因為不同賽季而落入不同隊伍的身上，所以你無法延用原先的稱號。
Q2.我原來的虛空龍會回收嗎？
A2.你還是可以保有你的虛空龍獎品，而第二季的鬥士們，將會獲得全新外觀的虛空龍作為獎勵。
Q3.聽說某些裝備多了階級的限制？
A3.是的，第三季的武器多了1850個人貢獻值（暫譯）限制，而肩膀則需要2000個人貢獻值。
Q4.什麼是個人貢獻值？
A4.我來介紹一下什麼叫做「個人貢獻值」。這是用來追蹤你個人在隊伍中的參賽紀錄，他會跟著你所參與的比賽增減，增減的幅度和隊伍獲得的分數一樣，用來作為購買武器和肩膀的門檻。如果你更換隊伍，他將會回到預設的1500。
Q5.那第一季和第二季的武器裝備會怎麼樣？
A5.第二季的武器裝備會和現在的第一季裝備一樣，在52區降價出售，而第一季的裝備則會移往戰場榮譽系統，代替原先的戰場榮譽裝。
Q6.那到了第三季，我的隊伍會有什麼改變？
A6.所有的競技場隊伍都將回到1500階級，原先得到的競技場點數則保持不變。
Q7.第二季什麼時候確定結束？
A7.除非延遲，否則將會於維修後（指歐版）的11月21號結束。
Q8.你有多肯定2.3可以在11月14號上線？
A8.相當肯定，但是總是會有意外，由於接下來的節日更新，可能會使我們要在12月再開放第三季，但是我們會盡力避免這種情況發生。
Q9.為什麼不在更新2.3的同時一起開放第三季？
A9.這為了讓我們在新一季開始前，專心於一個完美的更新，所以我們用一個星期的時間來分開。

power Rangers 10/02影片
##CONTINUE##
這是10/02當天的競技場其中的兩場，看了影片才知道自己的走位有如機器人外掛，沒有所謂的靈活，隊友也常常跑出我的視線之外。
第一場的戰鬥裡面，戰線拉開太長，佈滿了整座橋，所以我必須站到橋中間來治療，失去掩蔽物，所以被法師打好玩的。
第二場裡面，薩滿繞柱子的時候不停避開了牧師和聖騎給他的治療，讓他身陷危機中，只是因為運氣好所以才有打贏。

我的2v2心得亂寫
這是我在1900徘徊許久的2v2奮戰的心得亂寫。
競技場真的比起副本有趣的多了，
能夠靠著團隊的默契和個人的付出擊倒對手，
沒有什麼比這個更有趣的了。
##CONTINUE##
在2v2中，我最害怕遇上的，是戰士+聖騎的組合，尤其我們仰賴物理輸出的隊伍，遇上這種真的不知道該怎麼處裡，
只能祈禱聖騎不夠硬，戰士不夠痛。
第二討厭的是薩滿+獵人，我對獵人有某種恐懼，大概從前被放風箏放到怕了吧。
這種組合，會有清毒圖騰，減少了盜賊的傷害與牽制，獵人帶頭毒蠍，加上毒蛇陷阱，可以短時間再我身上疊滿各種毒，這時後放我複蛇釘刺，往往讓我白費法力，而且法力消耗更快，身上的祝福也會被薩滿淨化，利用震盪和地縛圖騰，可以穩穩的把我們都拉在遠處放風箏，唯一的解決方法，大概就是先殺死獵人，再來慢慢料理薩滿，而追殺獵人的行動中，萬一出了差錯，這場就拜拜了。
第三討厭的就是雙賊，尤其是天賦互搭的雙賊，簡直無解！只要我被控場，ne馬上趴掉，如果我開無敵，他們馬上消失，這種的我只能拜託他們出錯了，事實上，ne太常被對手先手了，這一點往往就決定了這場的勝敗。
其他的組合說真的，沒啥好怕的，平常人最怕的術士，則是我們分數打上的關鍵，只要保護好ne，ne就能夠打斷術士的恐懼，我就可以把DoT解除的差不多，如果是痛苦術士，那就拼DPS把他秒掉，用補血來彌補DoT所損失的血量。
但是競技場中，聖騎最常要面對的不是被集火，而是法術反制、沉默、恐場。
面對這些情況，你需要淫蕩無雙的走位，躲避對手的攻擊，還要故意中斷施法，騙對方的反制，還要多在此時運用保護祝福、自由祝福來支援隊友，如果這部份作的好，就算裝備不夠好，我想整個團隊的名次依舊會有不錯的水準。

競技場第三季情報
大家一直很關心的競技場第三季會不會在九月開始，答案是機率非常非常小。魔獸的賽季並不是一個季節，純粹只是一個階段性，美版的第一季甚至長達近五個月。
官方貼出藍帖說明這個情況：
##CONTINUE##
Season 3 is likely to start when the Zul'Aman patch (Patch 2.3) is launched, however there is a chance that it might be delayed to some time after the release of that patch.
Additionally it should be interesting for you to know that once season 3 have started, it will be possible for you to buy Season 1 gear using honor points (approximately 15k/piece).
簡單來說，第三季的賽事最少要等到patch 2.3開放之後才有可能展開新賽季，而且可能更晚。
而且第一季的競技場裝備，則很可能成為新的戰場榮譽裝，目前初估一件裝備大約15000榮譽。
我預估最快也要到11月才可能2.3實裝，所以不要再相信那些沒有根據的芭樂了。

競技場5v5常規隊伍的職業工作
所謂的5v5常規隊伍，指的是兩治療，三輸出的隊伍，以模式來看，美版的Power Trip是最著名的常規隊伍，這樣的隊伍有著平衡的好處，很能夠適應長期的賽事，穩定中求獲勝，這是他們的特色。
最常用來組成這樣隊伍的職業有：戰士、聖騎、薩滿/牧師、法師/術士、獵人/盜賊，接下來我試著說明這些職業在這樣隊伍中的工作與重要性。
##CONTINUE##
戰士：常規隊伍中的主力DPS輸出者，絕大部分(幾乎可說是全部)的天賦是武器戰，有許多不同的點法，但重點都放在致死打擊上面。戰士的怒氣系統的設計，讓戰事成為了常規戰中的殺人機器，致死打擊-50%治療的debuff不但消耗隊方治療者的法力，對於Nuke對手也有莫大的助益。但是戰士的裝備需求相當高，以目前第二季的賽是強度來說，沒有35%以上的爆擊，1800以上的強度，三階的鍛造武器，那在競技場中會很難發揮他的作用。
聖騎：無庸置疑，現今版本的聖騎絕對是整個團隊的核心，起因於神聖系天賦的過於強大，加上聖騎本身的職業特性，造就了他成為競技場中最佳後盾的角色。聖騎最主要在競技場中的工作是主治療者的角色，幾乎所有的治療工作都由他負責，靈活的跑位躲避法系的反制和燃燒法力，適當的時機丟出自由祝福和保護祝福，配合高硬度的裝備以及高血量，打不死的裝甲捐血車就是他的稱號。
薩滿：雖然非常多人為薩滿抱不平，認為現在的薩滿太弱勢，這些人缺忽略了薩滿在5v5中亮眼且驚人的表現。風怒圖騰所能夠增加的物理輸出遠大於他們所想像，尤其是在強化戰士這個主輸出的方面，而風懲圖騰能夠提高法系的傷害，地縛圖騰限制住對方的行動，無論是減少進站給予我方的傷害，或者給予我方近戰追擊的機會都有很不錯的效果。TBC後所新增的嗜血/英勇氣概，更能夠大幅增加全隊的傷害輸出與治療輸出，淨化與地震數的配合，則達到破壞法系的效用。目前以元素系以及恢復系的天賦最為常被使用。元素系有強大的Nuke能力(元素專精+自然迅捷+地震)，恢復系有高硬度的治療能力，各有支持者。
牧師：TBC 後暗影牧師的再度崛起，加上韌性對DoT的不減免效果(下個版本會受到改善)，讓牧師和術士成為了暗影戰隊的主力成員，而常規戰隊中的牧師大多是神戒混合系的牧師。強化的集體驅散和燃燒法力，讓牧師成為了最好的Cleaner，無論是驅散我方的debuff或者驅散對方的buff，都有非常快且較小的耗魔 (與薩滿相比)，而燃燒法力更是聖騎的剋星，喪失法力的聖騎只是移動鐵罐頭。配合各種瞬發的治療，讓牧師成為了5v5中的游擊手。
法師：法師在競技場幾乎只剩下冰法以及深冰法這兩種的天賦組合，尤其在常規隊伍中更是明顯。冰法有著高生存能力，配合水元素的冰腳控場以及變羊術或寒冰箭，讓一個好的冰法能夠成功的切割戰局，把原來的5v5變成了5v3甚至5v2的情況，更還有點出冰槍的法師打帶跑的戰術，這讓優先擊殺法師的策略終告失敗的命運。
術士：競技場中最要命的職業，該死無視韌性的DoT，該死的高血量高韌性的裝備，讓術士成為競技場中真正的MT(所有人都會想先放倒他)。常規隊伍中，較常見的是惡魔系的術士，以高血量以及高傷害減免來延長存活時間，進而達到更多的傷害輸出。其次是痛苦系的術士，利用痛苦震盪來掩護隊友們的DoT，不過這在暗影戰隊比較常見，常規隊伍中的 DoT有限，痛苦系的發揮也就沒辦法淋漓盡致。術士除了DoT之外，狗的鎖定法術和吃法術的效果也非常的有威脅，更還有恐懼術、暗影灼燒這些強力的招式，這讓術士在競技場的高分排行榜中始終維持不墬。
獵人：獵人恐怕是競技場中最需要技術支援的職業之一，三個競技場中，都有共通的特色：小，而且障礙多。這讓獵人的生存能力受到了最大的考驗，比起其他的職業，獵人幾乎沒有多少保命招式，但是當精英的獵人克服了這樣的障礙，轉而變成了競技場中最令人厭惡的敵人之一。冰霜陷阱加上誘捕的效果，能夠成功的限制對手行動，強化後的複蛇釘刺，如果配上毒蠍當作寵物，還有討厭的毒蛇陷阱，讓要解掉釘刺都變成法係為之頭痛的事情。還有冰凍陷阱的控場，寵物的干擾對手休息喝水，再加上獵人本身的傷害輸出，這讓獵人在常規隊伍中佔有了一席之地。
盜賊：這是5v5中最尷尬的存在之一，第二季所帶來的高韌性普及，大大削弱了盜賊的傷害，競技場中的遞減效應，則讓盜賊的擊暈受到了限制，這讓盜賊在5v5的地位受到了考驗。但是撇開了傷害輸出，盜賊在競技場中扮演的干擾法系的角色，依舊非常卓越，讓她去盯上的法系，所能夠施展的治療和傷害都有限(術士例外)，毒藥的應用，也可以降低隊伍的負擔，整體而言，盜賊依舊有他的優勢，雖然和其他大多數職業比起來少了一些。
戰術應用方面：
這樣的常規隊伍，大多用MA策略；分析出對方最脆弱的角色，然後集中火力放倒他，之後再繼續找第二個目標，一點突破，全面擴張。也因為傷害輸出的不足，當遇上兩隊常規的高階隊伍的時候，往往演變成為消耗戰，誰先沒魔誰先死，這也是美版法師討論區所最常抱怨的事情：為什麼我的法力都用光了我還是無法擊倒任何一個人？
這樣的常規組合的好處在於不至於有因為陣容而導致的完全無法應付的情況，但是缺點就是戰鬥時間相當容易被拉長，時間一長，就成為默契的大考驗，因為失誤的可能變的更多，一但失誤，就往往代表了敗北。這是一種拼裝備也拼技術的組合。

這樣的常規隊伍，大多用MA策略；分析出對方最脆弱的角色，然後集中火力放倒他，之後再繼續找第二個目標，一點突破，全面擴張。也因為傷害輸出的不足，當遇上兩隊常規的高階隊伍的時候，往往演變成為消耗戰，誰先沒魔誰先死，這也是美版法師討論區所最常抱怨的事情：為什麼我的法力都用光了我還是無法擊倒任何一個人？
這樣的常規組合的好處在於不至於有因為陣容而導致的完全無法應付的情況，但是缺點就是戰鬥時間相當容易被拉長，時間一長，就成為默契的大考驗，因為失誤的可能變的更多，一但失誤，就往往代表了敗北。這是一種拼裝備也拼技術的組合。

2007 BlizzCon Arena最新戰況
BlizzCon報導
（圖片擷取：BlizzCon Site）
舉世聞名的Power Trip在這一次的聯賽中，連續敗給了Warders of the Melee（近戰守護者，歐洲2007冠軍隊伍）、 D E R Tenacity（韓國2007亞軍隊伍），令人跌破眼鏡。
##CONTINUE##
雖然Power Trip的排名一直雄踞頂點，但是2007美國區的聯賽中，只拿到了第三名，這次BlizzCon的聯賽，遇上了實力堅強的歐洲與韓國隊伍，都以3連敗坐收。
最後，這次的聯賽由We lose cuz Daorok sux（美國2007亞軍隊伍）獲得最後的勝利，而亞軍則由 Nashwan（2005 BlizzcCon邀請賽冠軍）拿下。
下面是八隊的職業統計：
戰士 = 10
聖騎 = 8
薩滿 = 7
法師 = 5
牧師 = 4
術士 = 3
獵人 = 2
盜賊 = 1
小德 = 0
戰士和聖騎依舊是每隊必備的職業，兩隊同樣來自韓國的Notorious及 D E R Tenacity甚至排上了兩個戰士在隊伍中。而薩滿也沒有眾人所想像的這麼悲情，除了首輪就被淘汰的Power Trip之外，幾乎每個隊伍都有一個薩滿，Warders of the Melee隊伍中的薩滿更是增強薩滿！
相對於這三個職業的強勢，法師與牧師的重要性與上一季相比，已經消弱許多法師、牧師及術士有著可取代性，但還保有一席之地，大家都覺得imba到需要修正的術士，這次的賽事中僅僅三位。盜賊和獵人根本就是弱勢族群，不過冠軍的We lose cuz Daorok sux就是擁有獵人的其中一支隊伍，德魯依則是被遺忘在競技場外。
當然，畢竟這只是短期賽事，和長期的競技場聯賽有著落差，但是可以看出力求平衡的Power Trip在這次的賽事中敗得很慘，不過轉到長期的季賽時，這種平衡的隊伍有著良好的穩定性，弱點較少，可以避免突發的意外出現，所以他們的勝率還是高居不下。
Ming雖然口臭，但是盜賊在5v5的競技場中，的確需要改善，但是改善的時候，又要避免在2v2及3v3的過於強勢，所以我個人覺得短時間內這情況不過變化。
獵人的結果則是證明了美國獵人版上論點：獵人保有一定強度，但是只有很少部份的高手能夠衝上頂點，大部份的人則是弱勢的族群。這也意味了獵人的確需要做出修正，因為遊戲不是給這少部份人玩的。
德魯依....他需要的不是改良，基本上德魯依三系的天賦已經達到所有職業中最平衡的程度了，他所需要的是整個隊伍的配合，以及針對他的重新定位。
最後要提的是，這一次台灣區的比賽冠軍，並沒有取得前往BlizzCon的資格，所以我們看不到代表台灣的選手在BlizzCon的舞台上戰鬥，據側面了解，似乎是智凡迪沒有準備這筆預算，所以台灣區的比賽只侷限在島內自High。
我衷心的希望，下一季的聯賽冠軍戰能夠辦的更好，而且能夠讓冠軍們前往BlizzCon的舞台上，和美國、歐洲、韓國的高手一較高下。

死亡騎士（Death Knight）真的來了！
mmo-champion的報導
現在同一時間的BlizzCon公佈了新資料片的內容，同時也公佈了死亡騎士(Death Knight)的影片，之前說不可能的，現在大概嘴都張大了。
根據報導，死亡騎士確定為英雄職業，需要達到等級80之後，完成一段史詩任務，但是這並不是「轉職」，而是得到可以建立DK的資格。
（像是奇蹟那種達到某些條件可以選擇隱藏職業那樣。）
##CONTINUE##
新職業並不會從Lv1開始起步，可能從60或者70開始。（Bz還不確定）
這只是第一個英雄職業。（意思是說可能會有更多的英雄職業出現）
死亡騎士所使用的系統並不是傳統的法力、怒氣、能量，而是一種全新的符文劍（RUNE SWORD），利用冰霜（FROZE）、鮮血（BLOOD）、墮落（UNHOLY）三種屬性，去製作六種不同的符文，而大部份技能都是消耗這些符文，符文本身有CD（可以重複使用），其他未知。
死亡騎士的招牌技能：
邪惡之觸（我還是覺得墮落好一點），這和聖騎的無敵一樣，是DK的招牌技能，瞬發，五分鐘的CD。
"Unholy Embrace will be the Death Knight's signature ability. It will work as a sort of mirror image to a Paladin's Divine Shield, on a five minute cooldown.
Unholy Embrace
Instant Cast. 5 min cooldown.
Target is embraced by a silhouette of darkness for 12 seconds, corrupting any healing spells and effects cast upon or currently affecting the target to cause damage for 50% of their healing potential instead of restoring health. Any damage shields cast upon or currently affecting the target will also be instantly consumed, dealing 50% of their absorption potential in damage. Once afflicted with Unholy Embrace, the target cannot be afflicted with Unholy Embrace again for 1 minute."
""目標將被邪惡的幻影纏繞,持續12秒,對目標造成的所有治療將會以50%的等量數值變成傷害作用到目標身上(且無治療效果),所有傷害吸收型的護盾也會按照它們可吸收傷害的50%立刻對目標造成傷害.一旦被邪惡之觸影響,目標接下來一分鐘內無法再被施放邪惡之觸""（以上為NGACN墮落的猴子所翻譯）
用個例子說明這個技能的變態：
牧師上盾（吸收1200傷害）
DK對牧師施放Unholy Embrace（瞬發）
牧師受到600傷害（吸收傷害類型的BUFF，所吸收量的50%轉為傷害）
牧師失去盾（同時護盾消失）
牧師嘗試治療自己（大補6000）
牧師受到3000傷害（受到的治療直接轉為50%傷害，而且不回血）
這個技能代表了PVE和PVP的重大衝擊與改變。

如何對付術士？(How to beat a Warlock )
術士這個職業在PVP中的強勢已經被吵到爛掉了，可就是沒聽到有人出來說明術士的缺點，以及如何正確對付術士的方式，很難得的在EU的Deathwing伺服器，Drshoe用心的拍了這部幾乎是教學(加上一些抱怨)的影片，內容很有參考價值。
看膩了千篇一律的鳥文了嗎？來看些不一樣的影片吧。

World of Warcraft PTR Patch 2.2.0
The latest patch notes can always be found at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html
General
• Resilience Rating: The reduction to the percent chance to get a critical strike now also reduces the damage dealt by damage over time effects by the same percentage.
• Corrected the damage modifier calculation for Resilience when the attacker has bonus critical strike damage.
• Power Regeneration: Any effect which triggers a change in your rate of power regeneration (Mana, Rage, Energy, Focus) will now cause an immediate reward of some power at the old rate of increase, and then begin new “ticks” of power at the new rate approximately 2 seconds later. This was done to improve functionality of abilities such as Evocation and Innervate so that they did not have wasted “ticks”.
• Mac Movie Capture: the Mac client can now capture in-game video to QuickTime movie files using a configurable choice of codec (H.264, Motion JPEG, or Pixlet), resolution, and frame rate. Two new entries have been added to the Key Bindings dialog for start/stop recording and for cancellation of a recording. For more detailed configuration options please see the Mac Options panel in game. Mac OS X 10.4.9 and QuickTime 7.1.6 or better are required. Not all machines have enough performance to smoothly capture video at high frame rates; end user experimentation will be required to find appropriate settings for each system.
• Pets are now affected by Paladin greater blessings.
• Non combat pets may not be selected as the target for spells or abilities.
• Being attacked by guardians, such as summoned Treants, will no longer automatically causes neutral guards to attack you.
• Meeting Stones can no longer be used to summon players that do not meet the level requirements.
##CONTINUE##
PVP
• Items that are indicated as quest items in their tooltips and have a “use” or “equip” ability will not work in PvP arenas.
Druids
• Cat Form (Night Elf) melee attack range was too short compared to Tauren Cat Form and other attack ranges. It has been increased.
• Cyclone: It is no longer possible to Cyclone two targets at the same time in the outdoor world.
• Cyclone: Paladin Auras, Trueshot Aura, and Aspect of the Pack will now be automatically reactivated when Cyclone wears off of a victim who had one of the abilities active.
• Enrage: If this buff is clicked off early, the armor penalty it causes will now be removed as well.
• Enrage and Furor should no longer initiate combat, though it will prevent rage decay for the duration.
• Entangling Roots: It is no longer possible to have Entangling Roots on two targets at the same time in the outdoor world.
• Entangling Roots: It is no longer possible to have more than one rank of this spell active on a player.

Hunters
• Aspect of the Cheetah: This ability will now cause Hunters to become dazed when struck while sitting.
• Aspect of the Pack: This ability will now cause party members to become dazed when struck while sitting.
• Aspect of the Viper: This ability has received a slight redesign. The amount of mana regained will increase as the Hunter’s percentage of mana remaining decreases. At about 60% mana, it is equivalent to the previous version of Aspect of the Viper. Below that margin, it is better (up to twice as much mana as the old version); while above that margin, it will be less effective. The mana regained never drops below 10% of intellect every 5 sec. or goes above 50% of intellect every 5 sec.
• Freezing Trap and Scare Beast duration against PvP targets has been reduced to 10 seconds.
• Hunter's Mark: The duration remaining graphic will now display properly for Hunter's Mark after it has been refreshed on a target, and will properly consume mana when recasting it to refresh its duration.
• Kill Command will not charge the hunter mana if their pet is on passive.
• Misdirection: Items used while Misdirection is active will now consume a charge correctly.
• Steady Shot: The tooltip stating the percentage of Attack Power gained by Steady Shot was inaccurate and has been corrected. The damage remains unchanged.
• Volley: This spell is now affected by area damage caps. Its bonus damage coefficients have also been increased. It also correctly consumes charges of Misdirection.
Mages
• Arcane Missiles: Some procs were not triggered by this spell and now will be (such as Eye of Magtheridon). The tooltip for this spell will now update correctly when a Mage is affected by spell haste.

• Judgement: The Judgement spells will no longer cause triggered effects to go off twice.
• Redoubt: This ability can now trigger while the Paladin is sitting.
• Reckoning: This ability can now trigger while the Paladin is sitting.
• Righteous Defense: In some cases this ability would fail to work properly when the Paladin casting it had just been crowd controlled by a creature. That is now fixed.
• Seal of Righteousness: The tooltip for this ability has been improved. It now displays a different number for one-handed weapons and two-handed weapons, and adjusts to the speed of your current weapon. It displays a single number, rather than a range of numbers for different handedness and speeds.
• Seal of Vengeance: The damage from this ability will now stack properly when two different characters are applying Seal of Vengeance effects to a target.
• Seal of Vengeance duration increased to 15 seconds. In addition, when Seal of Vengeance strikes a target that already has 5 applications you will cause instant Holy damage.
Priests
• Focused Power: This talent now increases the hit chance of all components of Mass Dispel correctly.
• Inner Focus: This ability will no longer lose charges when Shadowguard or Touch of Weakness is triggered.
• Lightwell: The heals from this ability are now increased by the bonus healing effects on the Priest.
• Mass Dispel: The portion of this spell that removes immunity effects (Blessing of Protection, Ice Block, etc.), now has a chance to be resisted, and will display correctly to the combat log. It will no longer cause Rogues and Druids in Cat Form to lose stealth.

• Mind Control duration against PvP targets has been reduced to 10 seconds.
• Pain Suppression: This talent will now reduce the chance for any buff on the Priest to be dispelled, rather than reduce the chance of dispelling buffs cast while it is active.
• Prayer of Mending: This spell can no longer jump to an Imp with Phase Shift active. It will also no longer cause the healed target to stand up.
• Prayer of Mending: This ability will now be triggered when a player takes damage from effects placed on friendly targets.
• Shadowguard: This ability will now work properly even when the Priest is stunned, fleeing, or incapacitated.
• Shackle Undead: It is no longer possible to have Shackle Undead on two targets at the same time in the outdoor world.
• Surge of Light: This ability now properly grants its effects to one and only one casting of Smite each time it activates. Interaction issues with Inner Focus have been fixed.
• Touch of Weakness: This ability will now trigger properly if struck while mounted.
Rogues
• Blade Flurry: This ability will now do damage to secondary targets when the primary target takes no damage due to a damage shield (such as Power Word: Shield).
• Blind duration reduced to 8 seconds, cooldown reduced to 1 minute, Blinding Powder is no longer required to use.
• Elusiveness now reduces the cooldown of Blind by 8/15 seconds.

Proximo，ACE上這幾天發的UI，用途和Arena Master一樣，但是血量的顯示以及外觀都美觀而且準確多了。
下載點：
filefront空間
badongo空間，密碼：MD2
說明：檔案中用"."開頭的檔案可以殺掉，那是我電腦的暫存檔。測試框架我偷換了我們戰隊的成員名稱，算是惡搞。設定請愛用Niagara，競技場戰鬥中，還可以對框架上的目標按下右鍵直接Focus對方，監控他，隊友也裝有同樣的UI，會自動同步喔。

法師+德魯伊有搞頭嗎？The Fat Cow and The Pro（2500+）
這部World of Warcraft Movies上火熱的片子告訴你，不但有搞頭，而且還能打出2500+的亮麗成績！
這是一部少數雙人視角的影片，其中有幾場戰鬥相當有參考價值，例如遇上金字塔頂點的戰士+聖騎或者聖騎+術士，這些組合，如何應對進退，除了個人的裝備與技術之外，更還需要充分的默契與配合（這不是廢話？）。
##CONTINUE##
除了競技場戰鬥之外，我個人非常喜歡兩人吵架之後跑去決鬥的橋段，真的歡樂無窮，希望這影片可以給法師和德魯伊們一些幫助。

台版競技場（Arena）特有BUG
##CONTINUE##
這是昨天晚上打競技場所照下來的截圖，請注意我們所排的是正式的積分賽，然而我們辛苦的打贏之後，發現沒有得到任何的分數，只看到一堆不知所云的數字。這樣的情形昨晚一共遇上了四次，這種打贏沒分，打輸還要扣分的感覺令人非常的不爽。
這種情況也不是第一次遇上了，早在第一季的時候，就常常吃到這種悶虧，回報給GM，他也只說這是遊戲的BUG，他只能紀錄回報給美方，而不能把應有的分數還給我們。
所以....現階段遇上只能摸摸鼻子，自認倒楣了。
