Beta Build 13066 - Portals removed from Shattrath and Dalaran
Blizzard doesn't want you to use Shattrath and Dalaran as portal hubs anymore, the latest beta update removed all the portal to the cities and replaced them with class trainers.

whoa, whoa, WHOA.

Fuck the Heck?

not really that surprising, there would be no reason to move your hearth out of dalaran otherwise. Also there are boats/trains between all major cities anyway. And you can fly.

**Kaylia** · 2010-09-27 23:45

Can you warp from city to dalaran/shattrath at least? I hope so...

**vrumpt** · 2010-09-27 23:48

portal to blasted lands still, boat to northrend.

and you can fly.

also theres that circle of portals to all the new zones, so that also cuts down on travel time.

**Kaylia** · 2010-09-27 23:56

I know that, but I hate the idea of wasting 5min to go to dalaran, even if it's just occasionally.

**Koul** · 2010-09-28 00:53

so yeah. Trying out my holy priest on PTR with the new talents.

at first I was a strict disc purest but damn. after messing with Chakra... that shit is freaking fun! I'm still not really feeling cata though so I don't know if I'm gunna play immediately but if I do, priest will definitely be the first I get to max level. Might retire pally because... after messing around with holy power it just... I dono, doesn't really do it for me.

Is there a place I can DL the beta files so it doesn't take 4 years via battlenet :<?

/2 wtb mage portal to dalaran tipping 10g

**Metta** · 2010-09-28 07:39

What is in dalaran that you will need in cata anyway? I honestly cant think of anything.

Profession trainers i guess.

No, their new beta system is this streaming thingy so you can't use a mirror afaik; play once you get into yellow mode, it'll prioritize streams for the files that are relevant to your immediate playing area. It works surprisingly well.

**Tricen** · 2010-09-28 07:51

Yeah I just noticed that, kind of intersting imo

**Lee** · 2010-09-28 08:20

After FFXIV - that Dalaran/Shatt thing is nothing really.

**vrumpt** · 2010-09-28 08:55

theres literally nothing in dalaran/shatt that you need in cataclysm. everything is moved to main cities, there will be trainers and auctioneers in shatt/dal so you don't have to keep bouncing continents. Only reason to visit them in cata is for alt leveling and if you want old quests/achievements from them.

Not much since I completed every quests, but I'm sure I will have some grinding left over there (like completing every achievememts)

Anyway, it's not a big issue with Kirin Tor ring I guess, I just wont have 2 hearthstone now.

**Boyiee** · 2010-09-28 20:03

Why hallo thar

Immolate base damage increased by 55%.

I was slightly concerned about mages getting 20% damage increase pretty much across the board on every major spell, but now I'm not.

**Norellicus** · 2010-09-30 20:32

I'm mildly amused at Blizzard saying "Look, DPS DKs, stop trying to take BCB ok? We know you liked it, but you can't have it. Go play with something else."

Pretty much makes the DPS trees no-brainer for all three varieties lol, Unholy/DW Frost/2h Frost all have very clear tree makeups now that really don't require much cost evaluation.

**Galkaeater** · 2010-10-01 06:33

and blood tanks wont be picking it anyway since past the 2nd tier theres alot better talents than BCB

HAY GUYZ LETS PUT A DPS TALENT WAY DEEP IN THE TANK TREE SO NO ONE EVER USES IT K?

**The Stig** · 2010-10-01 08:04

Norellicus where did they say that?

I've played around with the new trees and I'm actually happy how I am forced to take stuff I won't normally take to fill the 31 point requirement. I like utility, makes me feel important, and it seems unless there is a better (although they're probably is, I'm just posting this out of initial excitement) cookie cutter tree to go with, I'm having to take Anti-magic zone (that massive bubble is so awesome since I saw it in the initial DK quest down at some basement of some castle).

EDIT: yay it looks like I'm partially forced to take improved Unholy Presence, meaning movement speed while in DPS (Frost) presence haha XD

EDIT2: I think this is good at least, probably isn't. So don't grill me =p

EDIT3: Probably not going to help as much but it seems I can dual wield in unholy =p (for fun). Dual-wield + a steroid enhanced pet... yayyyy.
