Ret pallys are ruining pvp testing You guys aren’t being reasonable, so I doubt I’ll respond again by asking horribly slanted questions. Let’s have honest discourse or none at all.   Argument 1) A ret paladin can divine shield and kill someone immediately in Arenas. The higher HPs of people at level 80 with resilience gear in conjunction with the critical strike decay as one levels will lessen the odds of that. If you looked at the paladin forums, then you’d notice that paladins are asking for the double damage component of seal of the crusader on a stunned target to be removed. We agree, our burst is too high, and ghostcrawler has stated that Blizzard feels the same way. My first post asked that you realize changes are coming, but slowly and that is the price of testing during beta. All of the same weakness still apply to ret paladins, and once the burst is removed a healer will still be able to just spam heal and outlast their damage output.   Argument 2) A ret paladin should never have that level of damage being a defensive support class. I’d agree except where is our defense? Most utility is

Two Handed Weapons and their place in WOTLK   If we take a look back to how Two-Handed melee weapons have been in WoW its had a very checkered pattern.   Pre-BC we only had the occasional 2h Fury warrior Using a Two-Handed Weapon and Shamans. Arms warriors and Ret Paladins where both laughed at for coming to raids, instead of not being Fury or Holy. Shamans only seemed to get away with using Two-Handed Weapons because thats all they could use.   Now in BC currently things have changed. Both Arms and Ret Paladins have been getting invites into Higher end Raids such as BT and Sunwell and put Two-Handers to good use. Both Fury warriors and Enhancement Shamans have both turned to dual wielding and for the most part we’ve been cool.   Now with the upcoming WOTLK, I fear we may run into issues with Two-handed Weapons. Now they are now one of the most desired type of weapon with the changes to Fury with Titan’s Grip and the introduction of the Death Knight Class.   What’s going to happen with these weapons now? How are they going to be split up amongst the three Classes, not to mention the occasional Hunter?

Additional Character Slots   Is it possible that there could be a few extra character slots made available on each account? I’m unaware what the reasoning is for there being ten, so perhaps there is a very good reason. Perhaps it adds that much more to servers or is just ruled unnecessary.   When the game initially launched there were eight classes per faction, and most people only played one character. Then The Burning Crusade came out and (most) everyone added a Shaman or Paladin to their list of alts. Now it’s four years later, there are ten slots and ten classes to choose from. Some people that have been playing for the entire duration are likely have several characters at the level cap, and probably have played every class part of the way up.   It would be nice to have a little extra room to create a new character without having to think about which alt to delete. Perhaps this doesn’t affect too many people, but those that have been dedicated, extra nerdy, or enjoy leveling are the ones who will run into this issue.

The Fate of High General Abbendis   “Salvation, young one. It waits for us all.” –The Prophet Velen   I’ve been playing the Wrath of the Lich King beta for a few weeks off and on, leveling my Blood Elf Paladin and having a merry time doing so. I’ve enjoyed pretty much most of the quests thrown at me, even if some are just simple grind fests, my interest has been kept up.   With the exception of one questline, The Death of the High General of the Scarlet Onslaught.   I don’t think I’ve ever been sad, upset, and disappointed with at quest, not to mention all that the same time. So an idea came to mind one day, after doing a wee bit of lore research.   I believe it wasn’t the right to decision to end the quest there and end it the way it did. It ending in a 3-man quest to kill the Abbendis and take her head to (in my case for the Horde) High Executor Wroth.   Now…time for my evidence…   Here is an excerpt from the WoWWiki article on her: “Of all the leaders of the Crusade, Abbendis is perhaps the most fervent. She hates undead with a fanatical

Ask a Beta Tester: More on leveling, Alliance lore, and starting zone RP “Ask a Beta Tester” took a short break during patch 3.02 madness, but we’re back! DM7000 asks… What happened with the glyphs that turned (Druids) into a polar bear or a lynx? This is a question I asked constantly in the beta for about a week. As much as I was excited about the talent changes and new skills, I was even more excited about form customization, because I hate Tauren cat form. I love my class dearly, but all of the form models have basically been unchanged since the original game went live, which is very hard for those of us forced to live with the unadulterated suck of Tauren cat form. It’s kind of a bitter pill to swallow wandering the beautifully rendered landscapes of Northrend and seeing the quantum leap of Blizzard’s artistic touch while using an ancient, low-polygon model like Tauren cat form. I found out that Glyph of the Red Lynx (and other Druid-form glyphs) hadn’t actually gone live, which was a devastating blow to those of us with Tauren cat form. The glyphs exist in the game files, but none

So, about that world pvp…   I know, PvP server, blah blah blah…   …but at this point I’m honestly unable to do any testing at all. Any class that is at all overpowered (coughtpaladinscough) ends up exploiting it mercilessly, and in general people just run around killing rampantly, and just generally being jerks.   Yes yes, qq and all, but I’m on a pvp server not by my choice but because that’s where my guildmates rolled. It’s absolutely frustrating to get ganked over and over (and over and over), but whatever, I can just not play easily enough. However, I’d like to actually do the testing that Blizzard ostensibly wants me to do, and currently I have yet to live longer than 60 seconds for my last 14 lives (yes I kept track).   Fundamentally, I don’t believe world pvp isn’t really what needs testing now — particularly at the expense of everything else — and yet, like it or not, it’s all I’m engaged in. Any chance it could be toned down, or disabled, even on the PvP server? Or could more PvE servers be added?

Who’s who at BlizzCon: WoW Insider’s guide to the staff of Blizzard Everyone going to BlizzCon this year will get to roam around the convention hall with some of the very people who bring you World of Warcraft and other Blizzard games. While many World of Warcraft fans might be familiar with the online pseudonyms such as “Drysc” and “Tigole,” very few probably know what they actually look like. We’ve searched the internet high and low for pictures of these folks and have compiled them into a nice and handy gallery complete with some biographical information. The pictures are small and mobile enough that they can be saved to an iPhone or other mobile device that can be brought into the convention hall. If you happen to be going to BlizzCon be sure to stop and say hello to these Blizzard people. And if you aren’t going, check out WoW Insider during the convention for the latest and greatest reporting right from the floor.

BlizzCon 2008: WoW Insider interviews J. Allen Brack Here at BlizzCon, we just got to sit down with the head honcho of our favorite game, J. Allen Brack, lead producer of World of Warcraft. And the biggest surprise of the interview wasn’t a nice tidbit about the future of WoW (and its battlegrounds) or how class changes are made, though we did talk about both of those things. No, the biggest piece of news we got out of him is that he loves WoW Insider — he told us that Blizzard is paying close attention to what not just us bloggers but you commenters are saying on this site, and that the community plays almost as big a part in directing the game’s development as the developers themselves do. But the WoW Insider love didn’t stop us from grilling him on what’s next for the Wrath release and the game beyond. We talked about what changes Blizzard aims to make to battlegrounds, what kind of ideas Brack and his team have for after the second expansion, and even what he wants WoW to do that it hasn’t yet. And yes, we got the story on dance studios, and why we won’t be cutting a jig quite yet in
