Hi All,

As you would know, beta has begun and with this Beta the NDA has been lifted so we can freely talk about it.

So is there any questions any of you may have that would like answered? As you may have seen via the Beta forum there are some very knowledgeable people in the Beta that play the druid class.

So, if you have anything you would like to know.. Hit us up.

Cheers
~Bob

::Edit - After looking at how many questions we are getting in such a short amount of time, it really is not feasible for me to maintain one post with all 3 specs over on the beta forum. Over time, Im sure we will make some more threads over there regarding individual specs. I will link them here as they emerge.

Some good reads so far is Lisanas - "Balance Talents - Beta analysis 1" thread.

Q u o t e:
"TELL THEM TO NERF ..."

---

All other classes apart from druids pls.

i don't know if it's been decided but with the new healing spells are HoTs not going to be enough in 5 mans and up through raiding? With nourish and the change to healing touch we can incorporate them into our rotations, is this something they want or something that feels right? I do like the addition of the spells and changes but will that mean that HoTs are going to be marginally less effective? Strictly pve btw

Since I haven't seen anything official with regards to this:

What new class abilities (eg: not gained through talents) do Druids have?

What new class abilities do other classes have that Druids might be concerned / interested in (in your opinion)?

Uhm, yeah, I've seen that... But, there's no new abilities listed there. Unless I am blind and not seeing something.

I was assuming there'd be new abilities like in TBC. Are there no new abilities in the Beta? What about those abilities people keep talking about like Lockjaw (though I hear this was removed).

There you go, made the thread. There is some really nice people over there (Lis and Delphine are awesome!!)

How many times can typhoon hit a target if something like a rogue or warrior is trying to get on you?

Does starfall seem to proc a lot of stuns from celestial focus?

1) green armor on items, havent seen any yet

2) does starfall chain proc

you summon a flurry of stars from the sky on all targets within 30 yards of the caster, each doing 111 to 129 Arcane damage, and an additional 20 Arcane damage to all nearby targets within 5 yards. Maximum 20 stars. Lasts 10 sec.


ok


you= y
x = enemy

x4 x5
x1 x2 x3
y

to make sure i post this clearly

starfall hits x1 and does 111 dmg to x1 and 20 dmg to x2-5
starfall hits x2 and does 111 dmg to x2 and 20 dmg to x1 and 3-5
starfall hits x3 and does 111 dmg to x3 and 20 dmg to x1-2-4-5
starfall hits x4 and does 111 dmg to x4 and 20 dmg to x1-3 and 5
starfall hits x5 and does 111 dmg to x5 and 20 dmg to x1-4


so each enemy takes ~200 dmg

so in theory if you had the max of 20 enemies each mob would take the 111 dmg then 20 slash dmg from each of the 19 other mobs for 380 so each mob would take 500 dmg.


something about this seems broken but correct me if im wrong that is indeed the way its worded is it not?

Has anybody figured out what is going on w/ bear form threat yet? In other words did it get changed as well since Feral Instinct got changed.

Q u o t e:

2) does starfall chain proc

Proc what?

I think he is talking about the 20 dmg component. In theory, if you had around 10 people standing around, could the 20 dmg keep bouncing around?
At least, that is what I think he means.

What does the tooltip say for Dire cat form!?

Q u o t e:


Dire Cat isn't in the Beta yet.

=(

So far, in the starter zones, how much of your tanking gear, if any, got replaced? If you did replace tank gear, how were your stats affected? Also, any initial impressions on how the Armor->DR formula has changed, if at all?
