WoTLK Beta

[Scythiroth]

That's pretty cool, definitely let's people try out higher level stuff without having to spend too much time leveling in the beta.

[Gulkeeva]

I'd still want to level a character from 70-> 80 so I know where things are and where to go for quests!

Kind of curious though... on the selection of premade Lv 80's... the top 2 an orc and humam... are those able to be made into DK because there are no DK's on the list of premades.

[aers]

premades are pretty dumb unless all you want to do is pvp.

[Norellicus]

Yeah, when they get to raid testing phases they throw in NPCs that give you all sorts of free shit. BC beta had an NPC that would give away like T5 gear and all the best flasks possible at the entrance to the 25 mans, lol.

[Gulkeeva]

ahh I need a raiding guild on beta!

oh and... seems their be incomming nerfs/buff on DK like...
Blood is getting buffs, frost DK is getting more aoe tanking (but maybe little less dps too) and scourge strike "little damage reduction" is probably by 50%

Or for people who are in the Beta like myself, but spend most of their time raiding and don't have time to level to 80. My guild wants to test out Naxx, but almost all of us that are in the Beta just tried out DK and then went back to trying to finish all of sunwell before release. This atleast gives us a chance to take a quick look at the new Naxx.

Actually I'm pretty sure the beta premade gear is at least on par with tier 6. I had something like 1700 spell power on my paladin premade as holy which equates to 3200 +healing I'd say? 23% holy crit, 250 buffed mana/5, not too shabby.

I so wish I took that guy's offer yesterday for 9000 gold for my beta key right now

Because you tried to log in during friday maintenance?

Same thing has happened for the last 2-3 weeks at the same time, I'm actually very surprised (in a good way) that Blizz has been able to keep up with their intended patching cycle.

It's not so much friday maintence, it's i guess shitty timing. I get email 5 pm yesterday, 6+ hours of Download. Then i go to work, i manipulate the schedule to get out early and i get this.

Plus there was no coffee at work, so i'm on edge

[Gulkeeva]

Maintence is probably because...

Actually, the premades being available on the existing realms was a mistake. They are being removed. There will be a specific premade realm.

the issue is it's pvp itemized so you have barely any hit/spellhit as a melee or caster.

anyway, new build today.

[Ishido]

Storm peaks back in with this build, I wonder how long it takes to get closed again.

[Eaglestrike]

I wonder if the paladin update is coming today, I'm kinda doubting it though, since they just started asking 2-3 days ago.

[Lee]

Affliction is getting an update as well, can't wait to see it.

[Gulkeeva]

Supposedly they letting us play around in ice crown too.. oh joy! Well at least the insanely large outer area...

It feels kind of small on epic flying though... guessing they may have a crapton of stuff that will probably shoot you down if you try... something like those annoying as hell birds flying around... whats that place with those kairi birds you can't outfly on epic flying.. O_o

oh yeah dots getting a major boost... got warlock to try out and see what happens.. specced it into affliction too!

Hope its decent!

[Egobrainz]

so are they still giving these out?

[Gulkeeva]

so are they still giving these out?

yup

and on a side note, first place goin to suicide at is ice crown if its actually open!

[Ishido]

Haven't seen anything indicating Icecrown will be open, are you assuming from the mmo-champ news?

Skettis. And yes fuck those birds and their one hit 70 damage instant Daze/Dismount that craters you.
