Weapons & Shoulders
The two unlocks people actually buy: weapon at 1,700, shoulders at 2,000.
Before you pick one
Only two slots in the whole set are gated, and both gates work differently than most guides say.
Which slots are actually gated?
Most of the Vengeful Gladiator set has no rating requirement at all. You can buy the chest, legs, gloves and helm at any rating as soon as you have the points.
Two slots are the exception, and they are the two that decide games: weapons need 1,700 and shoulders need 2,000.
Does it check team rating as well?
No. Both gates check your personal rating and nothing else. Arena teams do not exist on the Anniversary realms, so if you have read that a weapon also needs a team rating, that guide was written for original TBC.
Rating is tracked separately in every bracket though, which is the detail that sends people to our tickets: a comfortable 2v2 number does nothing for a 3v3 gate. The full rating requirements guide has the complete table and the mistakes that cost people a week.
