WoTLK Beta

Did some fairly easy bosses in naxx 10 man, Anub'rekhan and Faerlina. Video tomorrow, got good footage of army of the dead in action.

GG bliz. First they change steady shot making BM hunters sit practically at the 1-1 shot rotation cap. Then they release gear with a lot of haste. Way to up and screw over a talent build. I mentioned how haste would be bad a few pages ago for BM, looks like they read my post and made sure it would happen.

Because Steady Shot isn't being unlinked from Auto Shot and our weapon speed will have absolutely no effect on our dps?

[Correction]

Shhh! You're robbing him of the time-honored hunter tradition of crying over game mechanics he doesn't understand!

I'll ask.

How did anyone hit 80 or do dungeons w/the constant world server dying?

Or is it cause everyone from the premade server jumped over?

[Noobta]

I'm confused, will 1 spellpower=2 healing?

When I was playing beta the servers DID crash alot, but it wasn't so constant that you couldn't level because of it. You can do like 4-6 quests and an entire instance before it would crash, and that's a decent amount of exp right there. The server crashing doesn't always mean a rollback, so you just wait a bit and keep going from there. It was annoying, sure, but by no means did it make it impossible to level. Might have changed by now though.

How's warrior looking, the talents for arms look like they'll have a big more of a focus on bleed effects and overpower/execute spam (meaning mostly battle stance?) rather than what it is now, looks interesting =o

Is anyone able to get the stats for the BT or at least all the tanking plate badge gear (want to know if I should get the 2.4 paladin chest now...have the 2.3 paladin and 2.4 warrior atm) after the reitemization? I've been staying low on badges throwing epics at my newly 70 rogue, but I'll go back to heroics if I need new badge gear once the content patch comes.

They're usually pretty stable, right after a new patch sometimes there are things that make the servers go boom a lot that need to get hotfixed.

1 spellpower will equal 1.9 healing. Try to not think of it like that though, think of it like a new coefficient for your heals.

Was fun until the allies brought LV80s

instance servers dont crash with the rest of the world

I hit 77 like a month and a half ago when there was like no one on beta, it rarely crashed back then..

1 spellpower is equal to 1.8 healing under the mechanics on live.

If anyone is on Northrend, I'm in a guild called The Frozen Throne... Not sure if we're going to do raids yet, but if anyone needs a home whisper me ingame -- Groldun.

I thought it was funny that I said the server didn't crash much when I was on beta, and I logged on today to check something out, and the as soon as I logged in it goes:

[SERVER] Restart in 15:00

*literally 3 seconds later*

[SERVER] Shutdown in 1:00

then I lol'd and logged out and thought about this thread.

[HAcoreRD]

I was doing the first few northrend quests, the ones where you gotta kill the allies on the boat. sure enough, every like 4 kills I got DC'd

[Ishido]

The reason for the numerous crashes last night turned out to be art issues in Storm Peaks, and a DK ability that would both cause the world server to crash.

Basically DKs were able to crash the world server on command.

[HAcoreRD]

I can't level or test

They're setting it up to be strongest in Battle Stance, but I really don't see it working without some more changes. It'll be excellent for going toe to toe with a Rogue, but it's too limited past that.

You have to stance dance to use either Intercept or Intervene. You can't Pummel on demand. Battle Stance is also vulnerable to Fear, because you can't use Berserker's Rage. Spell Reflection works in Battle though, so that's at least a plus. In the end though, you lose too much having to sit in Battle and you'll never be able to keep rage between all the stance swaps to use Intercept and Pummel.
