Not having demonic embrace's 10% +stam may hurt all around... having just 7-8k health is not a good thing. I don't want to PVP gear it either but I guess being a clothie open to ganking during leveling I really should. It really wasn't that bad at TBC release though - everyone had a mutual understanding and there were only 2 or 3 rogues' names being spammed in chat. Damn rogues! 😀

Better yet for pvp servers is probably lawlguard: http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=I0xMbZoxIzsgoVzsguVo - wish I had a chance to test this on PTR though.

I'll just copy the beta mods over and wham, bam thank you ma'am. Although, my Bartender is messed up and I can't change the settings... I've had to modify the settings files to set people to my Death Knight's profile so they're playable :x. I probably won't even play Live again really until beta goes down though.

Whats wrong with specing into failtard 😛

I tested it on the PTR and with the changes to fel armor there is virtually no down time plus my felguard can hold agro on mobs, something my VW fails to do.

Metamorphosis isnt as great as I thought it would be, but the 600% armor increase is nice, my lock is hitting over 17k armor when shifted.

i just hate the play style of it
running around dotting is much better IMO
 
damn, looks like I spoke too soon....downloaded the big patch, which meant the double ToA agreement clicks, and a revamped loading screen (I quickly closed it, but I was thinking of Wc3 TFT for some reason).

just loaded WoW again, and the 3.0.2 update is under 400 MB. Now I can view the patch notes.

*edit* meh Lupi already posted the patch notes a page or two ago
 
so even with all the 3.0.2 updates listed per wowwiki... I tried to run WoW and it had to download 20MB more, then after full patching (which took a long time) it goes and downloads another 9MB and installs again. Looks like a long night for those who haven't started. I'm finally in and a handful of servers are up. 😉
 
yup realms are slowly coming back online....

ghostcrawler had this to say about the patch:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft....d=11162847323&sid=2000

The build going live right now has a lot of class changes. But it doesn't have all of them. Some changes, particularly those that affect high level abilities and some of the changes we made more recently won't be in today's build. But you will get them all on or before Nov 13 when Lich King goes live.

While we have done some balance testing at level 70 with the changes, we tested at level 80 a lot more, since so many players are focused on Arena combat and endgame raiding. Balance at 70 is going to feel different from 80. 🙂

If you played WoW at the 2.0 version before Burning Crusade shipped, you'll remember that this can be a crazy time. You have new abilities through talents, but not new core abilities, and not enough talent points to get everything. There are major gear changes, major mechanic changes, and a lot of class changes. Some of those are going to take some getting used to, and despite our best efforts, it's entirely possible we'll find something broken that needs to be hotfixed right away.

The game should start feeling a little more normal again when Lich King ships. It's cool to keep providing feedback and testing things out. Just try and be a little patient and understanding over the next couple of weeks as players learn about the changes (especially players who weren't in the beta), get all of their broken mods working, and we make whatever fixes we need to make on our end.
 
An update on my previous post; I was watching a portion of the update run on my second computer and it seems they included the BC cinematic as a placeholder for the wrath one and the replay is intentional.

Oh, I thought it was just because the client was completely reset that the movie played again. This happened in TBC pre-launch patch too.

My patch also relocated my game...

It ran the patch/relocated, download 20 MB more, ran another big patch.

Anyone else stuck at the character retrieving screen?

Yep, on most servers I am. Two servers that I have very low level chars are fine but I don't really want to play those. My main server was just taken down again.
