Season 8 Delay... delay

Sorry, I really should have broken this story on Tuesday... I don't really have an excuse >_< Anyway, yes, the points were reset but the season wasn't. Next Tuesday will (likely) mark the beginning of season 8.
So far, we have had limited testing with the new resilience change, but enough to know that it will matter a little bit. Essentially, whenever more damage reduction is added to the game, I simply get beat up less while stunned. Essentially, Ferals have the added benefit of EVERYONE and their mother having stuns now, which means that Cat Form takes less damage from everyone while stunned... which is often.
The hilarious thing is that I had the Marks hunter we picked up try and Kill Shot me in a duel while stunned with Barkskin up... Kill Shot crits you for 2k... hilarious damage reductions with Resilience and Barkskin and stun damage reduction.
Guntir doesn't think there's anything in store for us besides the Resilience change... but I think that there MIGHT be something more in store Arena-wise. Something like a blanket PvP-healing reduction, but you never know. He's probably right.

If you check the official PvP forums there is a sticky saying your points should get refunded then wiped NEXT Tuesday when s8 starts.

Ah... well that's pretty nice of them. It doesn't really matter, after all, but still - pretty nice.
At least the guys who only needed 1-2 more dailies to get their T2 weapon(s) will be able to buy them now.

Yeah I'm sure most people did like I did though and burn em all on marks excepting s8 on Tuesday. Kinda ass to not mention the delay coming knowing we can get points from BG dailies now.

So how has the first week been going so far? My plate is full fo sho! haha
I got 2 2s teams:
-Feral/Frost Mage -- Going EXTREMELY WELL, cyclone/poly = win
-Frost DK/Resto Shaman, haven't started this yet, will tonight, have high hopes here because I just know over past few months both of us are playing worlds better, better at focus casting, watching debuffs, timing CCs, all that good stuffs.
2 3s teams:
-Unholy DK/Shadow Priest/Resto Druid, again haven't started this, the S.Priest is geared already, but we gotta gear the druid. I know both guys personally (one in RL, other is friend of other guy) and are both very capable players.
-Resto Druid/Elemental shaman/Frost Mage, this team is me on resto action frost mage from my 2s team, and my resto shaman from DK's 2s running elemental, we should do well I hope
And jeez I know that is a lot, feeding 2 mouths can be a lot haha! But, like always I'm sure some will lose interest at some point, they always do, and it will come down to 1 or 2 really active teams.
