I’m not quite sure what’s going on.. but last night I continued to fiddle with Beta.
Findings:
Tatia, my level 70 holy pally, in live is seeing 330 dps on mobs on the Isle.
Tatiå, my level 70 copy of my holy pally, in beta was seeing 558 dps on mobs on the Isle.
This is alot less bleak than yesterday’s tests with the level 80.
I copied a pre-made level 80 Paladin to the Beta PVP server. I wanted to get a feel for the “completely redesigned class”.
In the live environment, at level 70, in PVE healing gear Tatia is seeing 330 dps. (Recount of dailies on the Isle)
In the Wrath Beta, at level 80, in PVP healing gear Tatia is seeing 400 dps. (Recount of mob-kills in Howling Fjord)

“In order to make the transition from The Burning Crusade to Wrath of the Lich King flow as smoothly as possible, all accrued honor points will be reset at the launch of the expansion. … For those with unspent honor points prior to the release of the expansion, we will be offering a few upgrades and special rewards in next content patch solely for purchase via the honor system.�
Oh, and all the marks of honor are disappearing as well.
So.. all that grinding that happened during the Olympics week.. Poof, gone. *sigh*
So.. should I spend Lilac’s accrued honor on the PVP trinket? Or should she spend even more time PVPing and get a mount instead? Or should I just not care?
[Edited to add: ]
So they changed their mind. Honor isn’t going to reset. So.. um. Whee!
I can’t believe the number of people wailing about how bored they are. I have too much to do and too little time to do it in. Wrath is coming. Hell, before that patch 3.0.2 is coming. It’s breathing down my neck.. and I am not prepared.
If your meter looks like this:
dps1 *************************
dps2 ************************
dps3 ***********************
dps4 **************
dps5 *************
tank ************
dps6 **********
healer *
Then someone isn’t doing their job. This holds true in 5-man, 10-man and 25-man. (Hell, it probably even holds true in 40-mans).
Last night West Kingdom raided The Eye. We tackled and took down VoidReaver. I think we wiped twice on trash on the way to VR. (we only had one warlock.. and that make taking out the saw-blade throwing demons more challenging). We started at 7:30 PST and got to VR at 10:00 PST. Two and a half hours just to -get- to the boss seems a bit long. I really think we can tighten that up alot. Four purples dropped… then we killed Voidreaver.
We one-shotted him. Unlike last time (when he died 8 sec after his enrage timer) we totally blew him away and had about 2 mins until he enraged when he died. Lilac got her T5 shoulder token from him (yeah!). This was on my “major upgrade” list. Fiancee and Khoss (our shaman healer) got the token as well. Go us!
I finally got Tatia copied over to the Beta. As I was about to log into Beta I cried out “Oh My DEAR GOD, WHAT WAS THAT?” Then I had to sit on the log in screen for a while to see if it happened again.
