Blizzard has released a ton of new information about season six.
The first big change in season six is that teams will no longer start at 1500 rating. After four seasons, the default has been changed to zero. Whether or not teams can go into negative numbers has yet to be clarified.
The ratings on the new "Furious" gear has been lowered to come in-line with this. However, this is where it gets a bit confusing. Rather than lowering them to around 115 rating (like deadly gloves are currently 1615, after starting at 1500) they will require 1400 rating.
The hardcore arena players might think that sounds like a good thing, but it seemingly goes against Blizzard's new take on arenas:
"we [Blizzard] reevaluated item purchases and felt many of them were too difficult to obtain so we will be altering the rating requirements needed to purchase the latest arena items."
Exactly how gaining 1400 rating is easier than the current 250 remains to be seen, but forum posters are predicting that the points per win will have to go up. Nothing has been confirmed by Blizzard, however.
The "Deadly" gear sets, currently the top tier of gear, will be pushed down to 1250-1500 rating. Deadly off items, including trinkets, will have no rating requirement what so ever.
However, as with everything in WoW, these changes are not finalised.
