It's a 13 item level difference, roughly the same between tiers currently.

I want to see before/after screenshots of the new polycount-enhanced models for players.

I know its pretty far off (if not by huge massive gaping margins!)

BM hunter seems sort of untouched last patch (excluding killshot which crits maybe 1/2 damage it used too)

Just got my beta invite but it's so slow downloading. Is there somewhere else I can download the patches?!

**Scythiroth** · 2008-09-11 20:15

That is what I am currently suffering through at the moment as well. I think I started downloading the beta client around this time yesterday and it is currently at 95%. >.> Oh well, I am in no rush.

Maybe Syaoran was taken and he really likes Cardcaptors?

**aers** · 2008-09-12 12:04

Well it's quite clear that's where the name comes from considering his avatar, which is why I was questioning the spelling.

However I'm willing to allow it if Syaoran was taken.

Still don't know why the fuck you'd name your WoW character after a CCS char--wait you said Cardcaptors. Get the fuck off my internet.

On topic:
My characters on the pre-made server (alliance) are Ninurta, Shaymin, and Srea.

Aw dang you're horde.

an interesting note:

(3:19:42 PM) Kytele: how you liking it?
(3:20:02 PM) Russta: beta?
(3:20:19 PM) Russta: if only patches were fucking instant lol
(3:20:23 PM) Russta: btb got a beta invite too
(3:20:26 PM) Russta: so did ally and luni
(3:20:26 PM) Kytele: sweet
(3:20:30 PM) Kytele: wow
(3:20:31 PM) Russta: so that's 3 people i run with every day
(3:20:36 PM) Kytele: everyone got one but me
(3:20:36 PM) Russta: a few others in my guild did too
(3:20:38 PM) Russta: oh yeah
(3:20:41 PM) Kytele: wtfux

(3:20:58 PM) Kytele: uhhhh no
(3:21:06 PM) Russta: warhammer online - what a strange coincidence that eu gets flooded with beta invites!!

Still no beta invite for me... I am a sad panda. I have to update about it with the limited time I've got on it.

**Eaglestrike** · 2008-09-12 17:49

You're not missing a whole lot...well, I'm just kidding, you are. However, the lag is almost unbearable. I'm not playing now simply because I lag too much. It's not fun to take 5s to cast your instant cast spells. Hope this is fixed either during the middle of the night (which I will stay up to play during lol) or just in a patch that's coming soon.

While I'm at it, can anybody recommend a good Warlock levelling spec? My warrior's probably going to remain protection and my rogue's best weapons are still swords so their fates are decided. Just wondering if I should take the plunge into destruction/demonology when I've been affliction my entire life.

**JasoNintendo** · 2008-09-12 19:52

You talking about 1-70 or 70-80? Either way Affliction's pretty much the best thing to go for leveling, though you can get by with a Felguard spec just as fine once you're passed 55 for instant corruption. But yeah, grab all the talents in affliction that improve your dots, imp howl of terror, dark pact and UA and then I'd probably put my points into Demonology for leveling (stamina increases) and then once you hit 70 spec as you see fit.

I'm not in the beta (yet, hope) though so can't comment on what the leveling is like in Northrend, but I'd assuming going further into affliction to pick up haunt will only increase kill speed/survivability and so it'll likely remain the fastest leveling spec unless Demonology gets some love. Would love to see some demon talent tree's similar to the hunter ones, here's hoping that Blizzard has a nice review of talents next pass, lol.

**Correction** · 2008-09-12 19:56

Yeah I was looking for a spec to level from 70-80 with.

My gear has a lot of +shadow damage so I figure it'll scale better in Affliction than the new 'use fire or be gimp' Destruction tree.

**Gulkeeva** · 2008-09-12 20:05

Affliction = fast lvling/requires effort

demo = decent lvling = afk mode

destro = instance/raids

as always!
