Ya I figured it out, half way through 91 now! Going back to paper writing though for the next ~18 hours
But on the plus side, I got 5 Shadow Orb Perk as my 91 perk
Also for anyone else trying out the beta, Insanity is pretty much mandatory for leveling - since you begin with Glyph of Mind Harvest and can kill most mobs with Mind Blast -> Devouring Plague -> Insanity -> Death.
I was plotting to test numbers on stuff like Mindbender but there are no tome of clear mind vendors in the first couple towns - so pick the right talents off the bat.
Halo is very strong too now - highly recommended.
Oh look, its that same person who is spamming Hunter forums with fake theorycrafting and Shadow forums about how Shadow doesn't really suck; its all the players. Are you sticking with this name or swapping around?
There's hardly anyone playing. Don't worry about PvP. Its also currently horde only.
Can't wait for the 5 orb perk. Right now I end trashpacks with usually 1 orb (from SWD) or 3 (from glyph of mind harvest) and with glyph of mind harvest means you end up going over 3. You cannot really test the class without all these perks. You're basically testing how it plays on 6.0 launch. If you end a fight with max orbs (which often happens for me) and you pop DP + MB you end up with max otbs again, making SWD not grant you an orb.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Ya, I will need to get to max level before I can do any solid number crunching - the perks do play a pretty critical role.
One of the things in alpha I really don't like so far though is - some of the glyphs are now mutually exclusive - like glyph of dispersion (15s off dispersion CD), glyph of free action (30% runspeed that doesn't stack with boots/sprints during dispersion, woohoo), and glyph of extended dispersion (not the right name, but increases the cooldown of dispersion by 3 seconds and reduces the mitigation to 50%).
If want to focus on emphasizing some aspect of our gameplay - because it is core to your playstyle - we should be allowed to do so - is it really too powerful to have a terrible sprint, a 9 second self-silencing shield wall, all on a 75 second cooldown? That sounds like something you couldn't get the locks or mages to take for free - and that's our major defensive cooldown with all three glyphs.
The one that actually annoyed me was Glyph of Mind Harvest is exclusive with Glyph of Mind Blast (4s root on crits) - I actually quite like Glyph of Mind Blast, particularly for PvP (but it would also be nice for leveling).

CAUTION: Do not look directly at the results. Staring at the results for more than 10 seconds can cause permanent eye damage. If the radiance of a thousands suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty Results.
Yeah the first thing I did when I logged in was enabling Glyph of Mind Harvest and then Glyph of Mind Bl.. wait. What? They should rename the Glyph of Mind Blast to something else, and Glyph of Dispersion as well.
I do think they want to make sure synergies don't become too strong, it becoming a spaghetti to manage. It also can avoid bugs (???). And dumb choices (I'm aware of at least the example of Warlock, using the glyph where Eternal Resolve becomes passive 10% damage reduction and then another one which enhances Unending Resolve).
I also wonder if they can't just remove that restriction from Glyph of Mind Spke.

I hadn't thought of it that way before, but ya - I graduated highschool in 2004 which was the year WoW came out! o.O
Canadian education is pretty well subsidized, and I was getting scholarships for my first couple degrees - and then was a professional student for a bit there. I'm paying for this post-grad program though - and I keep telling myself these will be the last degrees - but I have told myself that before... ^^
I like my life I'm starting up a video game company at the moment - so that might actually keep me pre-occupied enough to stop collecting fancy wallpaper (degrees).
Where can I Kicks art Yvaelle's game company?! I MUST KNOW THIS.
