Troll Backdrop and Gear Update
The Trolls have finaly been given their own backdrop on the character select screen, I'm assuming at the moment that the Gnomes would also have the pleasure!
Oh thats new!
As you can see I have been able to upload some more classes to the Beta, issues that stopped me doing this previously have been resolved with the new client.
The image below shows the difference between the holding gear model above to what look to be finished gear models below. I actually liked the simplicity of the holding models but the new designs look great across all the classes that I see running around Deepholm!
New Gear!
With the latest changes to the damage output of mobs, it has become a far more challenging game to play. I'm having to learn how to play my class solo again, which is great! I suspect in the long term (and its been mentioned by Blues) that some of the damage will be down tuned, hopefully not to the point where there is no challenge to levelling at all. One of the biggest disappointments after coming back to WoW was that levelling could be achieved with far less skill than I remembered from Vanilla and BC.
At the moment pulls can feel like a genuine challenge, where reactions matter and rusty skills need to be polished. Its been along time since I have had to kite, CC and counter effectively in a PVE environment. It maybe that I just really suck at magecraft (very probable), but its refreshing and very enjoyable to be forced to play the class!
