WoTLK Beta

[GRT]

meh, it's specifically built for mutilate, aka 60 energy attacks, really doesn't seem reasonable to giive it to 30 energy hemo or 45 energy ambush/backstab

[Correction]

It just seems like they're trying too hard to make Rogues use daggers again. Mostly by making it harder to optimize sword/fist builds.

Of course if they really wanted that they'd make better...you know...daggers and stop splitting the good dagger talents across all three trees.

I know subtlety rogues don't need it either, but it's just a worthless talent by default. With locks getting a teleport, hunters getting backflip disengage, DKs dragging you around with death grip, many classes with reduced stun/snare duration talents, and new ways to break snares, shadowstep is going to be even more important than it is now. You have to give up cheat death on top of that if you want to go far enough to get mutilate, which is certainly better than before with the positional requirement removed, but still not worth it.

[Krandor]

Not really, considering you'd have to drop shadowstep to pick it up. All the deep assassination/combat pvp talents are retarded.

Well, they're obviously trying to improve PvP viability for most classes specs, so if you were pvping as Assassination, it would be a nice talent.

I take no responsibility for any haxing of your dudes that might occur. Filesize is correct.

Trustworthy checksums/md5s.

The download was an extreme pain in the ass, Blizzard's downloader completely rapes your bandwidth : /

It's basically just a torrent.

Speaking of, you can usually get much faster DL rates if you find someone who has extracted the .torrent from the patch DLers.

Blizzard Downloader is just a giant piece of shit, back in the old days it wasn't such a pain before they invented that infernal contraption.

So I finally hit Northrend with my DK. The exp is ridiculous, I mean I'm like halfway into my level upon doing like 10 quests. : p

[aers]

did you go at 68

[Gulkeeva]

did you go at 68

Most likely, it'll slowdown when you hit the gigantic wall of "exp required" from 70->71
does the same thing when did Lv 58-> 60 in outlands!

and...
"SAVE AS" then veiw, this does not stream (well)

Yeah, but it obviously uses an ancient version of the bittorrent software at it's core, going off the incredibly amounts of lag it can cause on my network.

[aers]

It doesn't use an ancient version so much as doesn't allow you to limit upload bandwidth.

[Boyiee]

nvm, and I dont know how to delete a post so yeah.

[HAcoreRD]

Utorrent took me from a 6 hour download to 3.5

All in all, guess i gotta call out tommorow to play it

One of my friends that has a beta key said they are letting you try out level 80 characters that are fully geared now? o.O Is that true?

[Rivero]

It will be soon once they implement the raids like Naxxaramas in order to get more people to test them.

yes. 3 level 80 premades, per account, in pvp gear are available on the beta servers now.
