Hero,

The roar of the crowd thunders around you. Your opponent steps out from the gates. You leap from your mount and storm towards them, weapons spinning in a flurry of steel. The battle begins…

Arena Season 4 begins on Area 52 next Wednesday, July 31st!

Arena Season 4

Step into the arena and compete in the most savage 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 combat. Take down foes to rise through the ranks, gather Arena Rating, and unlock the most brutal gear and weapons.

Here’s what’s coming in Season 4:

• Enhanced Brutal Gladiator Gear & Weapons
• New: Season 4 Off-Pieces
  • Bracers
  • Belts
  • Boots
  • Backs
  • Rings
  • Necklace
• Lowered the Arena Rating requirements for obtaining gear
• New Cosmetic Sets and a Mount
• Vengeful Weapons available for Honor
• New: Random Stuns moved to Controlled Diminishing Returns table
• 2 New Arenas

New Gear

With the launch of Season 4, you can now compete in the arena to earn Brutal Gladiator Gear.

Additionally, new off-pieces such as belts and boots mean you can completely drape your hero in full PvP gear to dominate the competition.

Random Stuns moved to Controlled DR Table

Crowd Control is an extremely important facet of the arena, and having consistent Diminishing Returns across CC types is essential for the integrity of that competition. The following spells are now on the Controlled Stun DR Table to make them consistent and streamlined with other stuns.

• Impact: Now stuns for 3 seconds, up from 1.5 seconds
• Lightning Overload: Now stuns for 3.5 seconds up from 2.5 seconds
• Stoneclaw Stun: Now on the Controlled Stun DR
• Mace Specialization: Now increases your attack power and armor penetration instead of having a chance to randomly stun

New Arenas

Two new arenas appear for you to conquer: Blackrook Hold and Ashamane’s Fall
