At that point we will go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week. It&#39;s very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the arena-specific titles and/or Deadly Gladiator’s Frostwyrm to refrain from transferring their character to another realm until after Arena Season 5 ends.<br /><br />The following Arena Season will not begin for at least one week after the current season ends. During this time between seasons, all rated matches will be turned off and only skirmishes will be available. When Arena Season 6 begins, all teams, personal rating, and arena points will be wiped, but matchmaking rating and honor points will remain. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div><br /><div align="center"><object width="560" height="370"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/INB_OTRZIuk"><b>Arena Tournament Current Standings 3/31/09</b></font><br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from: <b>Bornakk (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/17/16019614961-arena-tournament-current-standings-33109.html" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</span></b></div><div class="blizzquote">The top 10 teams of the 2009 Arena Tournament’s online qualifier as of March 31, 2009 are listed below:<br /><br /><table style="font: inherit; color: inherit;"><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit; color: inherit;"><span style="color: #0099FF;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Rank.</b></span> <span style="color: #0099FF;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Team Name</b></span></span></span></td><td valign="top" style="font: inherit; color: inherit;"><span style="color: #0099FF;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Classes</b></span></span></td><td valign="top" style="font: inherit; color: inherit;"><span style="color: #0099FF;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Win – Loss</b></span></span></td><td valign="top" style="font: inherit; color: inherit;"><span style="color: #0099FF;"><span style="color: white;"><b>Team Rating</b></span></span></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit; color: inherit;"><span style="color: #0099FF;">1.

The Battle.net Mobile Authenticator performs this function for the recently launched Battle.net accounts -- only instead of a physical token, the application exists on your mobile phone for easy access.<br /><br />The Battle.net Mobile Authenticator is now available as a free download for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch from the Apple App Store.

Unholy is popular in PvP paritally because of all of the utility that tree brings. But a major portion of Unholy damage in PvP was in Icy Touch, and that spec has been brought down a lot. Unholy also benefited from things like Lichborne and Frost Presence which have been nerfed for DKs overall.

Razorice had this bug. I believe it has been / will be hotfixed, probably just to make the debuff not dispellable to prevent it from being used to protect other debuffs.

Therefore we changed Sinister Calling to increase the damage bonus to Backstab and Hemorrhage from 5% up to 10% with max ranks.<br /><br />This change is coming in patch 3.1, we have not hotfixed anything at this time.
