I managed to copy over one of the premade characters Blizzard had available so I could check out Hunter stuff at level 80 without having to worry about that “Been there, done that” feeling when the expansion is officially released. What took me so long? Well, I just set up a new computer and I had to go through the process of downloading the Beta client and getting it patched up. Things appear to be working pretty well on the new system; my one complaint is that (ironically) it has half the RAM my old system had. In the new computer’s defense, I did a lot of… tweaking… to my old system, heh. But, I digress. Long story short, I’ve got a few new screenshots from the Beta to share with you.

Welcome to Dalaran!

Meet Torvog, my shiny new Level 80 Dwarf Hunter!

My dwarf hunter, Torvog, taming a kitty from the Sholazar Basin

The mount (most) premade characters received:

(Yes, it’s the raptor mount from ZG.)

I’m not a huge fan of Dwarves in general (as I’m sure you noticed, I’m an elf kinda gal–always have been, always will be), but running around on Torvog for a bit was actually really fun.

For those that are wondering, Torvog came equipped with the following:

• 5000 gold
• 3x“Gigantique” Bag
• 1xNetherscale Ammo Pouch
• 1200xMammoth Cutters
• Savage Gladiator’s Chain Helm
• Savage Gladiator’s Chain Armor
• Savage Gladiator’s Chain Gauntlets
• Savage Gladiator’s Chain Leggings
• Savage Gladiator’s Chain Spaulders
• Savage Gladiator’s Rifle
• 2xSavage Gladiator’s Waraxe
• Hateful Gladiator’s Band of Triumph
• Deadly Gladiator’s Band of Victory
• Hateful Gladiator’s Sabatons of Triumph
• Hateful Gladiator’s Waistguard of Triumph
• Hateful Gladiator’s Cloak of Triumph
• Hateful Gladiator’s Pendant of Triumph
• Medallion of the Alliance
• Battlemaster’s Aggression

All of which amounted to the following ridiculousness (with a MM/SV Hybrid build):

The Hit Rating is a bit pitiful, but the other stats… well, the image speaks for itself.
