Warcraft Cataclysm Beta is here and your hosts are not invited. We’re fairly certain it is due to Seven’s choice of headgear. This week, Brian and Seven give you the latest WoW beta news and development, minus the detailed screenshots and video.
Think interpretive dance.

Gear Progression:

WotLK ICC25 man gear may make it to lvl 85 dungeon
A level-82 character should feel significantly more powerful than a level-80 character, for example. There are some epic and legendary items from Wrath of the Lich King raid content which may take a while to replace, but chances are most of your gear will be replaced by the time you start running level-85 normal 5-player dungeons.
Spellpower Changes:
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/25626455868/wotlk-gt-cata-loss-in-spellpower/
We’re trying to keep everyone at about the same power level at 80. We want your Fireballs and Flash Heals to show about the same numbers before and after the conversion.
Now as soon as you gain a level from 80 to 81 all bets are off and numbers are going to start changing dramatically.
Worgen Human Form Customization
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/25626345763/quick-question-about-worgen-creation/
- Might not be customizable, but will be visible at character creation
- Dont want people deleting and recreating constantly
Tanking Threat Changes Being Considered
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/24702403015/the-tank-thread/
- Dont want tanks to fall asleep at the wheel
- Faster threat decay
- Temp boosts from misdirect and tricks of the trade
Looking for Dungeon “Unlock”
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/25170844684/unable-to-queue-for-wailing-caverns-or/
The vast majority of our dungeons must now be visited and their entrances explored before you can LFG for that dungeon. A few classic dungeons will always be available that are extremely hard to visit or are low level. Ragefire Chasm, Stormwind Stockade, Deadmines, and Wailing Caverns are automatically unlocked.

5 Star Review by Jimseg on iTunes
Confused, then Crushed
After missing last week’s podcast, I thought Brian had a new female cohost! But alas, after a few minutes, I remembered that bassless voice was Seven. Still a great podcast with him though, only wish it was longer and had more tear stealing bats.

Unicorn porn, beer, and a little wow. This podcast is raw awesomeness.
