Beta Time

I know it's been a bit of time again since an update. There were changes with the latest beta build that I intended to try out, but I was one of the many people stricken by error 132 so often I just go frustrated and gave up.

  • Fists of Fury clarification - Damage is spread evenly over all targets.

As you can see, things are changing fast. The talents are moving around or becoming completely new ones every beta patch. The Zen Sphere I like already for leveling as a Windwalker because we seem to take a LOT of damage (I couldn't finish heroic Pit of Saron as a level 86 for example). 



I'm also leveling a young Mistweaver. I did heal one instance of BFD with her. This was before the change to Serpent Stance making damage done cause healing passively (and now well before the 100% increase to attack power from spell power) so all that healing was pretty much Chi Wave and using Soothing Mists if anyone got to about 60% and it was easy. I'll try again soon.

If  this Error #0 I'm experiencing with these Wyrmhorn turtles can leave me alone I'll get a lot more info up about what I've learned on the beta so far.
