Summary:
With only three weekly resets left before the end of WoW TBC Classic Anniversary PvP Season 2, players have limited time to spend their Arena Points wisely. Season 2 Merciless Gladiator weapons will become much cheaper when Season 3 arrives, but several classes still benefit greatly from farming these weapons before Phase 3 content begins. This guide explains which classes should prioritize Season 2 Arena weapons and which players can safely save their points, though some may choose to use wow classic anniversary gold for other gearing options instead.
1. Why You Should Spend Arena Points Before Season 3
As Season 2 approaches its end, Arena weapon prices are expected to drop significantly. Based on previous season changes, some weapons may receive a 50%-60% reduction in cost after the new PvP season begins.
For example, a two-handed weapon that originally costs over 3000 Arena Points could become available for nearly half the price. However, waiting is not always the best choice. Some Season 2 weapons remain powerful options until Black Temple, Mount Hyjal, or later upgrades become available.
Players should first identify whether their class has a true Best-in-Slot option before saving points for Season 3 gear.
2. Best Season 2 Weapon Choices by Class
Warrior
Protection Warriors can consider the Season 2 shield because its Resilience helps with defensive builds, especially for encounters like Illidan Stormrage. However, if you already have better alternatives, saving points is acceptable.
Fury Warriors generally do not need the Season 2 weapon because dungeon and crafted options such as Dragonstrike provide strong performance.
Rogue
Combat Rogues should strongly consider the Season 2 off-hand weapon. Before obtaining Black Temple upgrades like Blade of Savagery or Warglaives of Azzinoth, this weapon remains one of the strongest choices available.
Warlock
Affliction Warlocks benefit greatly from the Season 2 main-hand weapon. Combined with a strong off-hand item, it remains one of the best caster options before Phase 3 unless your raid already provides stronger legendary spellcasting support.
Priest
Shadow Priests should prioritize the Season 2 weapon because it remains Best-in-Slot before later raid upgrades.
Holy Priests usually do not need Arena weapons if they already have strong healing weapons such as Lightfathom Scepter. Discipline Priest players also have little reason to spend Arena Points.
Shaman
Enhancement Shamans should pay attention to weapon speed. Two Season 2 Merciless Gladiator's Cleavers provide a reliable temporary solution because they match speed requirements.
Elemental Shamans should also consider the Season 2 weapon and off-hand because they remain excellent until stronger raid drops appear.
Paladin
Protection Paladins are among the biggest winners from Season 2 PvP gear. The Season 2 Gavel, Barrier, and Shield Wall can all remain valuable during early Mount Hyjal and Black Temple progression.
Retribution Paladins usually do not need these weapons because several PvE options outperform them.
Druid
Feral Druids should strongly consider the Season 2 Maul. It is one of the most important upgrades for both Bear and Cat builds and can remain useful for a long time.
Hunter
Most Hunters can skip Season 2 weapons because raid drops such as Sunfury Bow of the Phoenix provide better performance.
Mage
Arcane Mages can benefit from Season 2 dagger and off-hand weapons, although future raid upgrades may replace them. Fire and Frost Mages generally do not need to invest heavily.
3. Final Preparation Before Season 3
Even if your class does not need Season 2 weapons, continuing to earn Arena Points is still valuable. Around 1000 points per week can become useful resources for Season 3 gear after conversion.
Players should also prepare enough WoW Classic TBC Anniversary Gold for enchants, gems, and upgrades once new equipment arrives.
With Phase 3 approaching, these final Arena resets are your last chance to secure powerful PvP rewards. Choose carefully, spend your points efficiently, and prepare your character for Black Temple and the next stage of TBC Classic Anniversary.
