Arena Set
Currently, the Arena Sets are simply upgraded versions of the GM/HW Sets – even keeping the exact same set bonuses and set names. I would like to point out the notable exception of the Warlock, which has 1 GM/HW Set but has 2 Arena Sets – I don’t know why.

Costs are as follows:
Head – 1,875 Arena Points
Shoulder – 1,500 Arena Points
Chest – 1,875 Arena Points
Hands – 1,125 Arena Points
Legs – 1,875 Arena Points

Real nice info, thanks

I'm glad you posted these, though I'm pissed at Blizzard for not putting ANY Spirit on the Druid Balance set. Given it's PvP so you aren't really worrying about MP regen, but what about Innervate? It's basically a worthless ability with that little spirit. Blah.
