    WHAT!!!!! I hate it not because it's not fun, but because now I have to make a choice...spend all my time fighting Arena or missing out on the good loot. I admit I'm slow but I'm only just now recovering. Ruined my entire CA social network.

    It had better be different. But yes, somehow War will be incorporated.

          Arcane Blast is 1 Attack, 1 Defense stronger then Champions Aura and I have little doubt it will be far less expensive to purchase.

            I'm not sure how a 33% increase in stats over the existing purchasable spell is not a useful upgrade. Esp if it has no upkeep. Also, having a second item to backfill spells with means a LOT less in the outright cost considering the new item starts at 0 (as in, initial cost).

              It's pretty disappointing if you already have access to Royal Seals.

                But its only the 3rd purchasable item. Compared to the regular PvP's 3rd ranked item, it rocks.

                Imagine a rank 21 item.. would kick Kings Crown's ass!

                  True, but for the rest of us it counts as a cut rate upgrade that really is an upgrade. Magic, for the most part, charges no upkeep anyway. But a 33% improvement at a lower cost is still a 33% improvement at a lower cost. Those already having 400 or more Royal Seals may be somewhat less impressed, but the percentage of CA players having those Royal Seals is rather low when compared to the total population.

                    Yeah, but I'm in a glass half-empty kinda mood today.

                      This.

                      I for one am happy about this. I still need around 250 Royal Seals and this will give me a cheap alternative for about 100 of those.

                        Jehann is absolutely correct when the opportunity cost of war points vs battle points is analyzed from a pvper's perspective.

                        7500 war points means 7500 stamina if you win every time against someone your own level (10 war points per 10 stamina spent). 7500 stamina could provide 75000 battle points under the same conditions.

                        Not trying to whine or get the developers to change the rewards as war is intended hybrid players, and many of them do not have the motivation or ability to get the battle rewards.

                          Yeah, but what good are 75,000 more BP if you're already High King? You'll find me in the War.

                            I would only use 12 of the Arcane Blasts were I able to buy them today with an army size of 521 ... and I could simply buy 12 more Royal Seals if I wanted them ... or eventually I will get enough drops from PvM.

                            Essentially the Barbarian Captains and the Arcane Blasts are useless to me .. I am using 317 of the Ornate Axes to equip my army of 521 though.

                            Like previously said once I hit High King (likely this week) I'll buy some number of High King Crowns and then BPs will be meaningless ... so I will PvM and go to War.
