Well Arena Season 4 is due to start on 25th June in the EU - and not a moment too soon I think. I usually keep up-to-date with info as soon as it comes out, but last night I didn't find out this fabulous news until I logged on to grab some Battlegrounds. The arrival of Season 4 will herald a new start in PvP for me. Where I'll finally be actually playing for rating rather than just points. I'll admit that in my mish-mash of PvP gear I'm still averaged out somewhere in power between S1 and S2, which is under-geared to compete. But my partner and myself have improved somewhat since we started out and I really believe with some Gem and Enchantment changes on my S2 items that I'll be grabbing from Honour in Battlegrounds, we have a good chance of climbing up in rating quickly (albeit to a cut off point where we'll need to gear into S3/S4 mixes from the points we've earned.

I think that our primary aim would be to get to 1700 - which with some S2 gear upgrades, enchantments and gems should be doable. This will give us access to purchase a nice mix of S3/S4 items. Until then I'll be found in Battlegrounds grabbing enough honour to give my gear a little boost as soon as the 25th is here. I'll also be found farming more gold to get the latest and greatest of Gem and Enchantment technology sorted out.

In other news, my good IRL friend and fellow guildmate - Leggy (a.k.a. Rafeeki, Orc Shaman) has got 2 weeks of WoW downtime while he moves house. Not sure how he'll cope with that but I remember when I had a similar issue and it was hard work. For me it was while my guild was part-way through the BWL progress push, so I missed a lot of wipes on Chrommagus. Rafeeki however isn't into his raiding - and like the rest of us in the guild; he plays for Honour against other players. I'll save a spot for you in the group mate ;)
