First Impressions of the PTR


This week has been pretty exciting both on the live server and the PTR. 

My guild on Draenor-us is progressing along nicely, and still having fun while at it. Gear is all in order, and consumables are also in order. Group 2 for our 10 man groups downed Mimiron last night.

Though that is not what this post is about. This post is about the PTR.

Several people from both Dark Evolution of Draenor US, and Several guilds on Azuremyst US have banded together and made a guild over on Broxigar.

I suppose that my first impression would be flying into the Argent Tournament Grounds and going "oh my god" upon seeing the completed coliseum. I did make a quick stop on my priest to check out the new Crusaders Quests at the argent tournament, since my druid never actually did those quests, and the pre-made toons weren't automatically given max faction with the 4 alliance cities, and the Silver Covenant.

I've had a taste of several different types of toons including two of my own. I acquired a pre-made Paladin, and a pre-made Druid. I wanted the extra druid aside from my own which I copied over form Azuremyst, along with my Priest from Draenor. 

The Paladin is rather fascinating, I've never been able to level one myself, but was able to figure out most of the skills needed to play both Retribution and Protection. I feel that the Paladin still needs adjustments, a friend of mine was playing a holy paladin spamming heals and his mana was going up instead of down. The mana regen issue is a little skewed with them.

I've played around with a boomkin druid as well, the boomkin is cooler than I thought. If you've browsed my blog previously I had posted Thuradin's video from Youtube. Druids are a really good class regardless of the form.

I took some time this afternoon to try out the new Battleground. Sadly, as cool as the BG seems, the PTR was probably not the best place for me to try it. Though I did have fun ripping horde apart, I never really got past the base.
