Anyone else in Beta?

[Captain Zifna]

Iapetes, perhaps? Through a lucky combo of events I've found myself
with a key (though as far as I know the "opt-in" keys are yet to be
sent out).

I'm on the PvP server, with a deathknight named Macbeth and my shaman,
renamed Zifnastorm. Feel free to friend me if you're in.

In the meantime, tho my time is limited preparing for my upcoming IRL
events, if anyone had something they wanted me to try to check for
them I will do my best to do so!

[Farmacy]

Just keep us updated on what good stuff is going on and where they
continually fail us.

[Captain Zifna]

Hehe... okay, well then my first installment of the Good, the Bad, and
the Interesting:

Good:
Thunderstorm is amazingly fun.

Bad:
I agree with the theorycrafters who say you can't spec into it for
Elemental PvE at the present time.

Interesting:
The change to Spellpower made my healing weapon slight better than my
Naj'entus dagger on test... in part, because the +healing enchant on
it had been converted over to +43 spellpower, while my +damage enchant
became +40 spellpower.

I made it into the beta as well courtesy of a guildy who works for
Blizzard. So far I really like how they set up the starting area for
Deathknights. The class seems like it will have a lot of potential to
be fun to play.

So far it feels like the expansion will play just like TBC did when it
first came out. Basically if you enjoyed the expansion, expect more
of the same from Lich King. That said they have some pretty cool
questlines to complete. A guildmate sent me a video of a dragon quest
line he was working on. Pretty cool stuff.

I'm in the beta as well, although I don't expect to spend a ton of
time there (will max at 75 at the most - I like having unknown
content).

Characters are Solwolf (elemental on live, enhancement in beta), Zod
(warlock), and Deathwail (DK). Humperdinck the hunter and Megaera the
mage are on there as well, but will probably see limited use.

I'm starting to think that going enhancement for beta is a mistake -
since I haven't meleed since the early days of MC, I don't have much
to compare the experience with, so my feedback is fairly useless from
a talent-tree perspective.

To echo Zarrik, the DK starter quests are a lot of fun and are very
well thought out - the world evolves with you, a first in WoW. There
are a couple quests that need to be tweaked, but the zone itself is
easy and doesn't require a single talent point investment to
complete. The transition from minion of the lich king to a free-
willed, do gooder DK is very abrupt, but I hear they're going to
smooth it out some. The end of DK quest line gear is absurdly good
for the level - I'm killing Silithus mobs in 5 seconds or so.

[Mushin]

Anyone have any numbers on the new healing coefficients? :D

Actually, Zif, can you check if the new warlock talent in the destro
tree procs from immolate?

[Binkenstein]

I'm not on there too.

Alliance PvE & Horde PvP, toons have yet to be re-named.

[Solwolf]

According to MMO champ, Paralyis will be replaced with something, and
deep elemental is being changed somehow as well.

It seems blizz is aware of the 43/28 elem/enhance power build and is
going to strengthen elemental to compensate.

Yeah, saw the post on the beta forums. Hopefully they take note of the
massive post I got Malan to put up before I got my beta key.

[Captain Zifna]

"Actually, Zif, can you check if the new warlock talent in the destro

I can certainly /w one of the warlocks on there (I have a warlock, but
she's not levelcapped on live and I didn't transfer her over) but I'm
a little confused as to what I would ask.What talent are you referring
to?

[Farmacy]

I want to know if ticks from Immolate proc molten core.

[Solwolf]

word on the warlock beta forum is "no"

[iapetes]

Oh well this answers my previous question. Zifna, I have great news. I
have a friend with a well geared ret paladin on the horde side on
beta, and he's giving me his account info for beta, so once I'm on
I'll be sure to contact you! =)

[iapetes]

Also, now that I know you're on the beta I'm a bit surprised to not
see you here at all: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?forumId=7573198&sid=2000

[Binkenstein]

Already there :D

[iapetes]

where? :o

[iapetes]

nevermind, I see her in the paralysis thread now... wow I read that
thread, how did I miss seeing zifna there? O.o

Sweet! I'm gonna be afk for 2 weeks or so... (Marriage this Saturday!
Honeymoon in Disney!!), so don't get discouraged if I'm not around,
I'll definitely be back. If you see "Icibumm" on, you can /w him too,
he'll get me. =)

[Captain Zifna]

Oh, and as far as the Beta forums... been a bit busy, and shortly
after I got access they announced they were planning changes to deep
Elemental, so I'm holding off a bit on really commentating. No point
in noise just for noise's sake, right?

[iapetes]

Yeah true enough. Congratulations again on getting married!

[Binkenstein]

True, that's why I haven't posted more either.

Also: I'm on PvE (Northrend) alliance as Binkenstein (original I know)
