Right lets get down to it.

With the guys that have played around with the new talent trees, how do you find it ? Any big changes in respect to your old build ? DPS increase ?
HPS increase and what not ...

Details people details.

I'll be able to try it tonight :)
 
Well my mate managed to crit for 5700 in cat form yesterday.
 
Wish I could answer those questiopns, but the truth of the matter is that WOW was completely unplayable last night. Firstly it took ages just to connect to the server, then after 30mins of trying to connect, I had serious lagg of more than 2k. LOL, my fps was a constent 3.1 FPS :o ! I eventually gave up and logged for the night.

Although I have to say, that with all the folks lvling Inscription, there were plenty of Glyphs being given away.
 
Well truth be told.

On my onboard GFX i got 8 fps at best :eek: Now Yesterday I got a 256MB GFX card
so WoW will be a whole new experience for me :p Moving from Low Settings to max and a decent FPS rate will surely be IMBA !

Can't wait
 
I specced my mage 61 arcane and then went into BG's killing warlocks. No jokes.

I specced full arms on my warrior and proceeded to pop sweeping strikes, recklessness and bladestorm resulting in four dead clothies.

I haven't even logged into my hunter or shaman yet. Damn this work bizniz!!
 
My Holy Priest now has a DoT that works beautifully - just like a locks! And the mana refund from overheals is just peachy! :D:D:D I'm smiling all the way to the mana bank.

As for the mage - its a fun new FIRE talent tree and I'm thoroughly enjoying. Living Bomb is my favourite new spell. It goes... KABOOOOOOM ... but I'm sure you guessed that already.

I haven't touched the warrior tree yet and I think my tanking days are going to be over. :( Can't see myself lvling with a punching bag)

My pala is still in progress but I'm sure he'll be having more fun with the retri tree.

As for Wow Server performance... omg!! how awful. This was a seriously flawed patch and the engineers deserve to be shot for being so careless. Don't they test the patches first?? anywayyyy..

WoW Addict for LiFe (or until my wife pulls the plug and burns my toons)

So much for waiting till WOTLK ;)
 
:D

Only got to my pala given the addon nightmare that occured post login :( Once that got sorted, I went exploring with some friends and ended up in UBRS doing Leeeeerrrroooooyyyyyy!!

/me is Sarri Jenkins now :p

/gief off days, work is da poop!
 
OMG I just found out.. I might have to start working again.. for real. Woe is me. why now? what cruel fortune is this just before WotLK is released. Think I'm gonna cancel the interview
 
My Enchancement shaman if I read the Patch notes correctly will get a Strengh bonus = 100% of Mana pool with a new talent at 3/3 spec.... Now that is Bloody insane O.O

Think my Mana pool was last sitting at 2.7k

New Talent: Mental Dexterity (Enhancement) - Increases your Attack Power by 33/66/100% of your Intellect

Ok seems it's the + Int only.... Still that is a shyt load of extra AP and not strengh but same thing kinda.

GUYS.. the only reason why these bonuses are insane is that they are insane only for Outland. Northrend is going to be a whole other kettle of fish.

Lets take for example that in WotLK there'll be more funnies without aggro tables just like some of the Outlands raid mini-bosses. That makes things far more interesting and it won't matter how much threat generation you've got if the damn thing hasn't got an aggro table.

Intellect being replaced with Strength? I can only imagine that they could be compensating your melee capabilities because of greater magic resistance in northrend?

But thats just me conjecturing about something I know nothing about :) .. try it out and you tell us whats different.
 
aside from the world server being down error it was great.
My fps is up to around 85 in city, the graphics and spell effects are better, the latency at 5:30pm was around 275-350, and my dps was looking great!
 
@Nick> dude do you have an unshaped, uncapped line feeding into a 2gig dedicated VRAM gfx card or something?
 
Well took me most of last night to get my toons speced etc between all the dc no addons etc...

but finally managed to run out on my warr tank and all I can say is omg 5k sheild slam without even trying to hard, 3 shotting mobs it used to take me a week to kill, landed up just running around finding stuff to hit :D

Also hunter new pets, got core hound or what ever its called = really cool
 
O guys

What I gather from my post above regarding the enchancement Spec for Shamans.
I can see Enchancement Shamans in Elemental gear do a shyt load of DPS :eek:

:D
Downloaded the patches over the weekend so didnt have to wait to dl em yesterday.
Running on a WA unshaped 4mbit line, GFX Card is a Radeon HD3650 512MB dedicated -> 1024 MB Shared.
 
Was great .. just for fun a few of us went and killed ony and yes the new telents etc are great, but i think northrend is going to be insane.
 
My threat generation has gone through the roof with my tankadin, but I am trying to puzzle out why they replaced int with str on the tankadin gear

all plate tanking items will be the same for warrior, paladin and death knight. I believe you are getting mana back through some other new mechanisms far too complicated for a warrior :D

My warriors threat generation also went ballistic. We went into Kara last night and a warlock who previously had to hold back said he was spamming SoC on elite groups(the ones on Moroes's Room). We rocked that room. Taking an elite group and non-elite at the same time. 2 prot Warriors. Thunderclap and Shockwave. We put our vigilence buff on a healer each, and in so doing got a portion of their healing aggro too. In Moroes room we went totally nuts, taking the whole big table, small table and 2 elites in one go. Had a blast :D

next time we go in, the OT is taking the 2 groups on the left and I'm gonna get at least 2 groups on the right in the big hall. 2 elite groups and 2 non-elite grps. Should be fun lol.

Anybody have any experiences with the new and improved Enhancement Shammy class? I need to check how the intellect will effect my melee damage, but if 1 int = 1 AP, then I might just kit myself out in Elemental gear and swing those fist weapons around in my pretty new dress.
