Beta

[streetfighter]

Yeah, yeah, I know it's against the NDA, but is anybody here in beta and willing to share some insights? My mouth is sealed.

I saw the leaked AA's from EQ2flames, but I am sure those are out of date by now. I hear Summoners are getting a bump so I am tempted to bring up a conjurur (would have liked to level one anyhow). What has everybody else heard about it?

So far it's the grass is always greener on the other side...

Every class believes they are getting screwed and every other class is getting everything that is so much better.

IMO, from the AA's I've seen, SKs are getting boosted again. So if you don't run an SK for tank, get one, the other 3 aren't nearly as useful.

Summoners.. Still useless. They can't compete (and never should) with a sorc/pred DPS.

They are still working on not having 4 bards and 4 chanters in every raid, but so far failing at it, so you still need 8 in total.

But as we've all come to learn, what is read on AAs and people's opinions, together with a level cap is very hard to guess. Level caps ALWAYS mess with power and balance.

SK's are indeed getting yet another boost, however, Zerk's are getting a decent boost also both in dps and survivability.

Wizards and Assassins still rule the dps category and by even more now I would say.

A well played conjy (extremely rare) can definatly compete with wiz/warlock though.. we have one in our guild and consistently puts out 16k+ parses, although the new tools they get only marginally help.

Brigs got the shaft again and are still only on par with swash for single target dps but still fall well below swash on ae fights.

Templars still OP as hell.

Yeah, I actually got a beta invite yesterday so I'm DLing all of the files right now. Hopefully I can gain a little insight and have some fun messing around.
