Okay, I'll approach it from a different direction... The screenshot tends to give off the same atmosphere and vibe as the Gates of Ironforge, I think. It "feels" like Ironforge, but not just because it's a city in a mountain.

Is it that you have 3 KBs?

I assume it's because one warlock was Soulstoned or something?

Pretty much, I had no idea soulstones were even usable in the arenas.

Although it is possible to rez someone in there. (Got rezzed in a match to victory!)

I think it takes all conjured items off you when you enter but you're free to reconjure them so Locks can make Soulstones and Healthstones.

I made team <ROAR IM AN ELEFUNT> with that mage with the Elekk. We're at 1300-something at the moment, but trust me, we're on our way up.

I figured you couldn't use Soulstones since you can't use abilities that....are over 10 minute cool down or something?

I'm going to SS my Paladin in my three man now though.

I redid my PVP gear last night (Pic was taken 3 nights ago) to I get 9500 health while while keeping my crit chance above the 25% crit chance mark.

Working pretty well for now.

Well, this is true, but making a SS is not even on a CD, however using said SS is, and I'm pretty sure there is nothing against using items with high CDs!

Pretty off topic but can anybody tell me if other MMOs have these constant class adjustments. It just seems it should not be THIS hard to keep 6 classes balanced.

I assume you mean 9 and it's probably because as soon as they buff/nerf one class, another's shortcomings/overpoweredness come into the limelight.

edit: also that they are always adding new content which has the same effect in exposing the strengths and weaknesses of classes.

also that they are really haphazard about everything and often release new content full of obvious mistakes and errors (like items with +1237842 to stamina, which they're finally fixing in 2.0.10)

Maybe, but it's only a result of them making stupid, hack fixes to begin with. For example, warriors in extremely high-end gear were doing ridiculous shit. Insanely high raid damage, insane burst damage in PVP (even with FURY, honestly). It was probably getting out of control. So, instead of fixing this through itemization or talents or something else reasonable, they just flatout nerfed rage generation. Initially they said it'd only effect those in high-end gear, and some warriors in lower end gear might even see an increase in generation, but in practice it turned out that pretty much everyone had their rage generation turned to absolute shit or something, and as a result there was of course the collective whining of all warriors ever. I guess they watched the video of Hulksmash in PVP, and that other video of the warrior sustaining like 1400 DPS on Patchwerk, and decided that wasn't a skewed presentation at all, and proceeded to base their ideas of balance around the fact that ALL WARRIORS were doing that and fuck 95% of players over.

So yeah, all warriors I know complain about how now they can't get any rage at all, whereas before maybe it was a little overboard, now it was absolutely terrible and way more than Blizzard said it would be. I guess that would explain the 15-20% increase for all warriors. But uh, I don't think this type of stuff happens often. Only when they find a slight imbalance, manage to fuck it up so that in rebalancing it they actually make it far, far worse, and eventually have to correct it to stop all the complaining. Other MMOs probably do the same things.

Yeah, it's absolutely not unique to WoW... blizzard just has a very heavyhanded approach to game balance and usually ends up shifting balance to opposite extremes when fixing things.
