In addition to a single new PVP Battleground, the Outland also introduces the Arena PVP system, which allows for smaller groups of enemies to face off in single combat without having to worry about dealing with the objectives of Battlegrounds.
Both of the Arenas currently in the game are in the Outland, but there are battlemasters that can warp you to them from most major cities. You can't join a ranked Arena Team until you're level 70, but players of most levels will be able to join practice or pickup matches before you reach the level cap. You can play in Arenas in groups of two, three, or five players, facing off against an equal number of players from the opposite faction.
Fights in the Arenas have a number of specific rules intended to keep the fights relatively fair. To wit:
- The pre-match warmup session will reduce mana costs for all your spells to zero, allowing you to quickly buff all team members without worrying about mana. Warlocks can also cast any Soul Shard spells without using any Soul Shards.
- No player can resurrect when killed; when you die, you're dead.
- No consumable items save for bandages or conjured food/water can be used in the Arena. No potions!
- No spells or abilities with cooldowns of more than 15 minutes can be used. If you rely on Retaliation or Lay On Hands to survive fights, prepare to test your other skills for a while.
As such, when an Arena fight starts, it's a simple matter of killing everyone on the opposite team before they're capable of killing you. You don't get any points for effort here; your goal is to win.
While practice or pickup matches are played simply for the fun of the fight, when you reach level 70, you can form Arena Teams that can be ranked. The process is fairly simple on its surface: your rank goes up when your team wins match. You gain a lot of ranking from defeating teams that are more highly-ranked than you, while winning against lower-ranked teams will net you a lower amount of ranking prestige. Correspondingly, losing against higher-ranked teams won't affect your ranking as much as will losing against a team that's inferior to you.
