Hi guys! So weird to still be recognized after almost three years off-server.
And yeah, f&f - which is a shame, because I wish I had a bunch of keys to just toss around to people.
In Beta I've been playing mostly paladin and priest (though, like everyone else, I had to try deathknight). I've been pushing for some tankadin changes because even with T6 most guilds don't want/need them outside Hyjal or Fel Myst.
Since you're a fellow Chicago paladin (I just moved here; this place is scary), let me tell you about Beacon of Light. My healing gear is not bad (like 2200-2300 +heals in live with talents) and in beta my BoL heals for...about 450 a tick. Oh, goody. It also costs 1050 mana or something like that...so hopefully it gets fixed soon by either decreasing the cost or increasing the heals or some combination of the two.
On the priest side, disc. is looking really good - I can cast forever without needing mana, and the +healing isn't gimped too hard with the way the talent trees are organized.
I've lightly touched warlock and shaman, both of which seem to have gotten decent buffs. I think the role of shaman in raids will stay the same; I love raiding as a shaman right now, because I've bound chain heal to "q" and can just qq all night. Brutallus is seriously six minutes of Q.
If you have any questions I can hop over after work and try to answer them
