So the longest arena season ever is finally over. The season of wizcleaves, spell haste,(omg I kicked that fear!) & carried by Shadowmourne is finally complete. So how did y'all do?
My priest was my main for this season. I got him full wrathful and we got to 2150 in 3's running disc, resto sham, & prot pally.
My Druid I played for the first part of season I got 1970 in 2's as resto rogue and pretty much stopped for season.
My rogue just got weapons on Friday as resto sham rogue. (2 days of playing out of nowhere lol)
My shammy & lock just high enough for full wrathful offset and no consistent partners for them otherwise.
A pretty good season for me and excited for s9 to come.
So how'd you guys do?

This was my first time ever really trying to do arena. We had our ups and downs, didn't get any special ratings or anything, because we were both pretty new to arena and our chars weren't all that pvp geared.
But I had fun with it, more than I thought I would since I'm not a bit pvp fan. Hopefully come cata I can learn a little more and become better and have some more fun with arena.

Played for 3 weeks, got to 800 without really trying (10 games each week) with a feral druid who had no PvP gear.
I also played blood DK/shd rogue/ele sham in 3s this week and had a lot of fun; wish I had been playing that comp for most of this season. The only games we lost were when I overextended and got bumped out of stealth.

Didn't start until about six weeks ago or so and our 2m toons were under geared for most of it but we'll be doing it again as soon as the new season starts so might actually have a rank worth talking about then.

The good thing is that it's pretty much impossible to be undergeared in the new system, since everyone can get everything but the 2200 weapons at any rating.
The beginning and middle of the seasons may be a bit imbalanced, but it should be pretty equal by the end for the people that have been active.
Not very well, had problems finding a partner I clicked with. Didn't really stick with it and hardly played. Partly due to my messed up schedule the past few months. I found one good partner we played a team from 0-1600, started going roughly 50-50 at that point, I was excited and thought the team had potential. Kept playing, basically never heard from him again. 3+ weeks he didnt login, it was too bad, he was a geared warrior who knew what focus charging was, watched his focus bar, switched stances to pummel, its rare to find decent players on my server who know whats needed to succeed in arena.
My main problem with arena is its SOOO dependant on your teammates, I mean you can literally be carried to very high ratings by playing with exceptional players or you can go nowhere if your partners suck. Without QQing too much, its way too dependant on your partners which basically comes down to who you know.
If I want to play seriously in S9 I need to further tighten up my keybinds, watch a bit more arena and practice more in 3v3 where it really counts. I had one crazy amazing season, hitting 2500 in 3s and duelist then never found players anywhere near that caliber again after half them quit and I transfered back to my home server.

Yeah, this is basically what made me lose interest in it entirely. It's a lot of fun when you play with a good group of players and you play a fun comp (unless you just do arena for the epeen; I certainly don't), but if you're playing with bad players and a boring comp, I don't know why people would do it.
For example: I played a week with a resto druid. We did fine, made it to 1300 easily, even with me being undergeared. I was so damn bored playing the comp though, that I eventually just teamquit.
In an alternative example, the 3v3 team I mentioned previously (blood DK/shd rogue/ele sham) was a ridiculous amount of fun. We'd basically sap the healer, then open with ambush/lava burst and insta-kill a player on the other team before they could do **** about it. After that, the shaman would do spot healing while myself and the DK killed everyone else.
Priests (especially spriests) would literally die in the span of time it took me to premed/ambush/evis. It was a comp that required skill to execute, but almost no communication (given that the shaman was a 2k rated ele shaman and I'm not bad at rogue) other than to call out the main assist, but it was a ridiculous amount of fun to play.
Did you play the Blood DK Theo? That spec is awesome, isn't it?
I really did virtually no PvP at all. I got 1800 on my rogue at the start of WOTLK, but aside from gearing my DK in BG's and VoA I didn't really do anything else. Just the ocassional PvP on my completely PvE-oriented priest (trinket? what's that?). I used to hate TBC PvP because it was so stupidly reliant on CC, but after having seen WOTLK I'd rather go back to that. I wonder what Cata brings as I intend to get back to my rogue for it.

Nope, I was the shd rogue.
I don't play my DK anymore; the class is boring now, and my DK is still alliance.

Hn, reminds me of the time I went 1500-1800 without a single loss as RRD a month and a bit before S3 ended; I knew the other rogue from raiding, and he was fairly well geared (access to some PvE gear, though our guild fell apart before this which si the reason I wasn't playing mage anymore), though he only had daggers and thus, as mutilate, couldn't much take advantage. I was in mostly S2 gear, with no PvE at all. The druid, who we met in /2, was in 2/5 S1 3/5 S2. Clearly there was room for growth here - though, as mentioned, no losses.
The druid never logged on again.
