Did you think I'd miss the chance to post this video up when we're talking Arena?

So the it's time for this year's Arena Tournament 2011 and this year we're entering.  That's right, Runzwithfire has stepped into the Arena Tournament with visions of glory, fame and scantily clad women; although is more likely to finish the tournament with a debilitating injury, tetanus and a small semi-aquatic creature clad in a risque gladiator's outfit.  Anyway it got me thinking more about Arena and PvP in general.

Now I've been a PvE Mage since I first rolled Runz back in 2009, but before that I had my Arms Warrior in TBC and my focus was very much on PvP (possibly because before WoW I was an avid Halo and Halo 2 player on Xbox).  I've found that over the past few months, what with me no longer being on the progression raid team whilst all these shiny new raids are about, that my attention as a Mage has drifted back to towards PvP and the Arena in particular.  Don't worry, I'm not suddenly going to turn this place into some kind of PvP shrine and I will still continue to argue that PvE balance should be more important than PvP balance.  But there is something in PvP that stirs a carnal instinct in me, the desire to taste the blood of my enemies and teabag their broken bodies (yes I really did spend A LOT of time playing the Halo deathmatch games before WoW).
