Season 4, Week 2
Week 2 is behind us as of this morning, though my struggles and frustrations continue. Stoney is now capped on arena points but lacks the rating to even get the Brutal Linked Leggings which only require the basic 1550 rating. In fact the source of my points for the week was the 5v5 team which and it's crappy 1420 rating. We did 7 games with what was supposed to be our "good" group and got eaten alive by full Vengeful teams still in the 1500 bracket. We finished out the week with three games going to a "throw-away" group just to get points on some of our alts.
I think I will end up spending the arena points on the Vengeful helm and the Brutal Gloves, just to get some sort of an upgrade. To say nothing of the 40k+ honor points sitting there.
Nix is another story: 1577 rating on 3v3 after only 5 games but only 197 arena points (before today's reset) and a constant need to bring honor. Thankfully it was AV weekend and I could bang out AV's all day Saturday to grind enough honor to get Nix his Guardian bracers. But it is so frustrating to have the rating and not the points on one toon, and the opposite for the other toon.
Ah well. I'm off to DC today to catch the Dropkick Murphy's and Mighty Mighty Bosstones in concert TOGETHER! Two of my favorite bands in one night. I'm stoked. It should wash away my PvP point woes.

What mods do you use? I love your screen set up and have seen simular ones before. I've tried various mods in the past that are supposed to set up the bottom bar like yours, but they always seem to have something screwed up with them. Thanks in advance, Ddonk

Ddonk, I use a LOT of add-ons. I'll do a whole writeup about them in the future. But for now the action bar mod I use are Bongos3 and AutoBar. I like Bongos because you can configure it any way you want. I have small bars for my totems, organized by tree, and big bars for my main action buttons such as Stormstrike, shocks, and Heroism.
Autobar is a smart bar system that automatically adjusts the available buttons based on what you have in inventory, and groups up similar spell/potions/etc together. For example the hearthstone and Astral Recall are grouped together, all battle elixir are grouped together, all guardian in another group. This bar you can see in my screenshots off to the left, just above the chat window.
Thanks for the comment. I'll start posting about the mods I use in the future.
