A few days ago CM Dresorull updated the 3.3 patchnotes with the following statement:

“All abilities that have base cooldowns of 10 minutes or longer cannot be used in Arenas, down from 15 minutes.”

This change caused some speculation in our forums, because it could mean that items like [Arena Grand Master] and [Tidal Charm] wouldn’t be usable in arena games anymore. I couldn’t get in an arena on my twink because few twinks transfer to the PTR. Instead, I farmed Prince Nazjak on a premade 80 Rogue until he dropped a tidal charm for me, and I tested it in a skirmish match:

tidalcharm

As I hoped, the new rule doesn’t apply to trinkets. All your items and abilities that work in the arena right now will still work once Patch 3.3 goes live.
