Ask a Beta Tester

[The Doctor]

Well I haven't seen any of these kind of threads here but I have seen plenty of questions regarding the beta. I'm in the Lich King beta and have been since the Friends and Family Alpha, so if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask!

Played Shaman, Hunter and Warrior all to 80.

They update skills for every class nearly every patch, they update talents on a review basis, where they do mass overhauls for the talent trees of a specific class (or two).

As for the Cache folder, right now on the beta they aren't refreshing, so I can't get you one as it's always empty.

How are Ret paladins? You mention you didn't play a Paladin but how are they in PvP (if you PvP) and hows there DPS compared to others in PvE (if you PvE).

I've been messing around with Wintergrasp and I ran the 10 man Naxx last night, which had a ret paladin in the group. The damage of the ret paladin was decent, but it didn't compare to the rogue, myself (fury warrior), and the mage, who were consistently on top, but mainly because rogue instant poison is bugged right now on the beta.

They're changing around coefficients on damage every patch now so classes are really spiking damage wise, but in Wintergrasp ret paladins seemed pretty good, I didn't face very many but a couple of them managed to do some great burst to me in the duration of a HoJ, if they stay the same as they are now they'll definitely be viable in PVP.

How fast did you level them to 80? (/played)

Took me around 6 and a half days. A friend of mine finished in around 5.

Thanks for the quick response. I hope they do infact stay viable for PvP, I doubt ill get into PvE again.

Nope, as I said the Cache folder isn't refreshing on the beta, so everyone's cache is the same 0kb folder.

Mine is, The Doctor. I have 0.98 mb Cache folder.
