I scored a beta key from a friend and guildie today! I’m so incredibly happy! I’ve scoured the Internet and various WoW blogs as much as I could but I could not find much beta stuff from the perspective of a Priest.
Today that will change.
I’ll post a beta journal every few days or so chronicling what I’ve been up to, what I’ve found to work, what doesn’t and such. Master Lume informs me that the name Matticus has been taken. In case my other alternative names are taken, then I’m at a loss as to what I should name my Priest.
In any case, don’t expect too much just yet. I still have exams to write at the end of the week. But after that, that’s when the real fun begins. With luck, I hope I can continue to be a tried and true source of information for all of us Holy Priests as we gradually shift towards the expansion.
Of course, I need to download the client first.
And it takes 5 years.
Canada just got cable TV and running water last week.
Two cans and a string is what consists of our Internet connection.
Grats!!!! Be sure to join the cool kids on Northrend! Oh, and I found the best way to DL it was to do it overnight – let your computer work for you while you sleep, smart eh?

And dont´t forget: after downloading and installing the client there´s of course about 300MB of patches to download. But compared to the client that´s nothing ;).
Anyway, welcome to the beta. Have fun.
Gratz mate, looking forward to your views.
The indignity though, who would have the nerve to call themself Matticus!?

Lucky fella, congratulations. Hopefully those cans and string can help you bring info to the rest of us (unblessed masses, untouched by the wonders of the beta…).
Oooh, exciting! I think that I’ve stumbled across one site in my travels that actually focused on current beta information regarding the Holy priest. It’s helped me stay as minty fresh as possible for the expansion so that I can bumble around like a neophyte when it comes out. Congratulations!

Grats Mat your lucky bastard.

Until they give mages a “conjure beta key” spell on the live realms…it appears I’m still out of luck.
Gratz.
Dear Matticus,
I hate you.
Love,
Apathy
PS: Gratz on the key. 😛
Ooo, be sure to try out both Disc and Holy healing specs… I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that disc is actually worthwhile.
Just seconding Amanita – there’s a serious dearth of good information on the viability of Discipline in Wrath, and though I’ve been enjoying healing as Holy for most of Outland, I am quite fond of the Discipline spec. Reading the talents and crunching the numbers only goes so far – the real question for me is how does it *feel* to heal as Disc? And of course how do the numbers really work out in testing.
Leave it to Matt to join the carebear server with the rest of the scrubs.
