lacksmithing is great for warriors,
paladins, and classes that need the
heavy gear. With Blacksmithing
you'll be making better-than-quest gear for
yourself (top-level raiding instances, such as
Naxxramas, provide the ultimate in gear).
For leveling gear and early raiding, the stuff
you make with Blacksmithing will be great.
Blacksmithing is going to hurt. This is the

The rules for preparing for Arena PVP are
different from Battlegrounds PVP.
One you enter the Arena instance, your
health, mana, and energy are maxed (even if
you were dead). Buffs, conjured items, and
pets are removed.
You have 60 seconds to get ready, which
includes summoning pets, applying buffs,
making soul stones, and so on.
Here's more from the official site:

No consumables other than bandages

in the arena. (No food or alchemy
buffs allowed.)
