What do you think with the new changes in patch 3.1? I see that lifebloom and spirit are taking a MASSIVE hit so maybe resto is a bad idea but i already have 3/5 pieces of the resto Savage Gladiator set…
Also, what set would a Boomkin wear – i heard from some people that with Boomkin in arena you can mix Balance gear with Resto gear to get more mana regen etc – does that actually work?
So what spec and partner do you think works best for arena and what arena gear set should i go for?
Please help me out!
Two things:
1. From what I hear, burst is king. You want to be able to do massive damage, or to outlast the massive burst from the other team. If either one of you can be killed by the burst from your enemies in under 6 seconds, then healing won’t matter as much.
2. Lifebloom’s mechanics are changing. It’s a difference in play-style, but not a nerf. All it requires is that you let the spell bloom to get half the mana cost back. Additionally, the blooms now stack as well, meaning a three-stack will give a massive bloom + lots of mana back.
Personally I’d go feral, but I am feral, so 
. I know I can survive burst, since in my PvE gear I have around 34k self-buffed. And I can stunlock as a kitty. Plus Survival Instincts are great. I honestly think feral will be good until higher levels (in my book, above 1850) because of the survivability. -Naoki – level 66 Mage on Skywall
Aureliano the Insane – level 80 Druid on Sen’Jin
Junkboxing – level 80 Rogue on Sen’Jin
Noaki – level 58 Warlock on Sen’JinLess than 12 hours from last post and not even moved down half a page does not warrant self bumping and is only likely to provocate further ignoring of your topic.
Have some patience. I don’t know that we have many arena junkies among this crowd, but if there are some they’re sure to be along eventually.

Ranawaran – WoWBump.Also, it seems the febloom change may actually turn out to be abuff in pvp – does this mean S6 looks good for trees??I’m looking to start arena-ing more now but i still not sure whether to go:
