Season 4 Begins!
As I write this we are ETA 90 minutes from launch of season 4, and with it comes a whole new season of exciting arena combat, pvp videos, new teams, specs, gear, team setups and much much more!
I'm not going to lie, I haven't been this excited for an arena season launch since season 1, and I'm sure there are plenty who are sharing in my excitement.
That said, if you're reading this then you've come searching information, and ZugGaming.com has got you covered. Below I've listed all my recent articles, news, and guides relating to season 4.
Hopefully they'll be just what you're looking for.

Arena Season 4 Check List
Well, with season 3 rapidly approaching it's end it's time to start preparing for season 4's launch on June 24th. From gems to enchants, and honor to arena points, it may take you some time to get everything in order.
Honor / Arena Points
75,000 Honor Points
5,000 Arena Points
Of course, in addition to the points you should already have purchased the new pvp trinket. The extra resilience just makes it that much better, allowing you to get additional offensive stats in other gear slots.
As far as arena gear is concerned, you'll have to weigh your individual situation. The new rating requirements may make you think twice about what S3 pieces you'd like to purchase prior to S4 starting.
Gems
The gem choices you make are certainly going to depend on your class and spec choices, but generally speaking there are a few definite decisions you can make.

Season 4 Start Date Announced
If this season seemed like it's been going on for an eternity, well that's because it has. But at long last Blizzard has finally given us the 2 week warning.
We’re currently planning to end the third Arena season and begin Arena Season 4 on June 24, 2008. This exciting Arena season will introduce the Brutal Gladiator set, and will also allow players to purchase Arena Season 2 items using the honor system. Please note that we will be resetting all Arena team and personal ratings. Players will still retain their Arena points and teams with this reset. The team and personal rating will simply be reset to the default 1500, allowing all teams to once again compete for top honors with a fresh start.
Also, with the end of the third season, players on the top teams from each battlegroup will receive their end-of-season rewards. These include Arena-specific titles that they can display proudly until the end of the new season, and, for the best of the best, an Armored Nether Drake. Please also be aware that with the end of the current season, all previous end-of-season titles will be removed.
Wrath of the Lich King Release Date Announced
Though it has yet to be officially confirmed by Blizzard yet, Vivendi announced earlier this morning in a press release that Wrath of the Lich King will be released sometime in the second half of 2008.
While most World of Warcraft players expected it to be within this time frame, it's nice to get a definite answer from Vivendi. With the cat out of the bag, I would imagine an official response from Blizzard would appear in the near future.
Season 4 Changes Confirmed
The past few weeks have been filled speculation that major "changes" would dramatically affect the arena system for season 4. Comments made by Tom Chilton fueled much of the speculation that was finally confirmed today.
