TBC Beta Info and Questions....

spentmotiff · 10-20-2006, 02:29 PM

Since the last thread became so fagged up that it no longer had anything to do with beta and more on whining about class balance, I thought I would start a clean thread for people who are not in beta (like myself) who want to ask some of the people on the board who are for beta information.

Please, please don't turn this into another bitchfest. I swear to Christ that the beta question / answer posts on the official forums have less bitching then in here. If you want to bitch, please use the countless other threads here. Thank you.

So, on to the questions:

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but even with hunter pets being nerfed back to Azerothian levels, could BM still be considered raid viable? With the haste and the 30% damage increase, does it even compete with MM? Is there anyway to test the DPS between both builds? (Not taking in to pet damage at all. Just raw DPS differences between both the builds.)

Thanks for answers that have been already provided, btw.

Blood elf women need larger breasts, and need to pull out a trampoline while performing the idle animation.

No, the breasts are pretty well balanced now...

So Im in the process of saving up 60 AV, WSG, and AB tokens for the xp jump when tBC hits. Am I wasting my time?

Ahnkosis · 10-20-2006, 02:57 PM

I thought tokens only stacked to 20?

Eyonix stated that fear will be a far less used mechanic in TBC encounters, so it wont have the massive effect it did in vanilla (mag, nef, and ony).

Algol Devilstar · 10-20-2006, 02:59 PM

uhm 60 total as in 20 for each BG, sorry for confusion.

They've been saying that forever, and yet fear ward is still very useful in naxxramas.

Gluth, some trash, and that one encounter called PVP...

Yeah they only stack to 20 but checked yesterday and the tokens got bumped up to Unique(100) as of the last beta patch.

I think that's because they added X number of Marks as well as Honor points to buy the pvp stuff. And there's a new mark from Eye of the Storm that's needed for some gear as well. Dunno where that'll come from other than Eye of the Storm, but the Waepons/Gear are like Ex: 15000 Points 10 Marks etc..

Hmmm, the unique(100) thing probably won't make it to live servers until BC hit's I'm wagering...which sucks.

I've also got my quest log almost full of winterspring/stratholme/scholomance quests complete, ready for the exp jump. Am I wasting my time? I'm also amassing a ton of Deadwood Headdress Feathers and Scourgestones for the miniscule exp turn-ins in large quantities. Am I wasting my time?

In short, can you only receive exp from 60-70 in TBC zones?
