Who Will Be On The WoW Final Euro Beta?

[LWA]

Hey guys,
With the Final European Beta on a few days away (hopefully), who will be playing?

I got my key ages ago and have been dying to start. I have played on the open beta but only for a short while.

Do you intend to play horde or alliance? I am intending to play alliance and am looking for others to create a party.

Thanks for reading,
Leon

Myself, Vimeous and another mate will be playing, but we are going horde PVE.

No-one playing alliance? Come on!

Oooo, ooo, I'm playing! I intend to play both sides, so that I can experience as much of the game as possible (and all of the species are good as well. Apart from the forsaken. And gnomes.)

[LWA]

Mike_w - cool, I will be glad to do some fighting with you!

P.S. What's wrong with gnomes?

[TiG]

they get owned a lot, just watch Paul Adams' video as proof

I was a gnome warlock for a while, backed up by their imp friends they seem quite good.

I have a Gnome Warlock he is not too bad but I am more into my new character now, a night elf priest. There are not many priests ingame so I am pretty sort after for heals and rez's.

[LWA]

I haven't played a priest yet, what are their offensive capabilities like?

[wedge22]

Not that amazing yet but I am only lvl 10

[LWA]

Are you in a party or solo-ing?

[LWA]

No-one want to join me on the side of the allies? I'm looking at being a human or a dwarf so I could do with a friend to join me?

Hehe, it's not the race, it's the fact that mages can only wear cloth armour - they have amazing power but if a monster gets in melee range then you are in trouble.

The frost spells are useful to slow creatures down, or the Nova Storm one can freeze them in place for a few seconds - then you back off and blast away with the more powerful fire spells.

As a comparison, my girlfriend plays a human paladin who can wear mail armour and use a shield - her armour is about 2700, where mine is about 800ish (these are "buffed" values).

This is where grouping and matching classes is very important to complement the strengths of each - the paladins have "auras" which give bonus effects to themselves and any party members withint 30 yards.
Blessings are also very cool - 5 minute buffs to do things like reduce the threat level of my spells so monsters take less notice of me
So running around with 2 cute female paladins with auras and blessings aplenty means I can stay in the background and provide atillery power.

And with my amazing engineering skills I can make target dummies to draw monsters, and exploding sheep!

Playing a solo mage character would be very difficult, just so people are aware - and it's an entirely different playstyle from a melee character like a rogue, I am finding.

I got by beta kit this morning Now waiting for the final beta to open...

I'll be playing as a Tauren Warrior in the beta I think. I might have an Undead Rouge as my first character in retail though, I heard warriors suck :O

[LWA]

Hey sounds like we have overwhelming support for the horde!! Still no alliance players :-(

Never heard of an undead rouge before
