Hats off to you sir! Good to see someone has made a post about this. However, I guarantee you there will still be posts asking the same questions you've answered.
No. Season 2 offset gear is available for honor at the moment. Season 2 main set and weapons during season 3 cost arena points but at a reduced cost compared to the season 3 gear.
S2 should become available with Honor when S4 comes out with SWP, which should be around mid-to-late 2018, according to my estimates. And yes, this means that S3 will be extremely long - around half a year, at least. If anything, this means that going for arenas on S3 would be a worthwhile investment. Which is nothing bad. S3 was my favourite season on TBC.
sorry for not understanding this completely. My situation is following: I want to buy caster 1h weapon for arena points - atm i can buy s2 for 3,1k AP. Should i buy it now or wait for the new season to hit (and buy s2) ? thanks for any rational answer.
