Here are a few videos of combat in EPL and WPL. The first one shows some combat against melee and caster mobs, the second how easily a DK can take on an elite mob, and the third shows the summoning of a ghoul from a dead human mob.

At the end of a busy Saturday I decided to give a go at creating a Death Knight. Ever since I heard about this hero class, I had been tempted by the mix of tanking, dps’ing and facemelting casters in PVP. I can only say that the current implementation – before the most probable incoming nerf – is fulfilling my expectations. For now I have concentrated on the DPS talent tree, Blood, which offers a mix of dps, tanking and passive healing abilities. So far it’s been ideal for going through the Death Knight startup which is fairly easy but for a couple of quests. These series of quests is meant to help you discover your talents, and gear your Death Knight up with in full dungeon blues.
The game play so far is very similar to a Retribution paladin, where you apply a buff/debuff, apply physical damage to the mob and every now and then cast a spell producing instant or over time damage.
Here are a few pictures of the DK starting area, I will add more as I take them in combat or other situations.

Great surprise last night as I was logging out after we raided BT: an invitation to beta of Wrath of the Lich King. It took the whole night to download the 1.8GB file, and then more time this morning to install the whole lot. In the meantime, I copied Erbodie (and my paly Erbkaya) so that I can login and start exploring Northrend.
Here are the few of pics:

Will report more as I find time to play a bit. And by play, I mean login, play a bit, and see the client crash or get kicked out by the server – which crashes a lot as well. Very early beta indeed.
First thing I noticed is that respec’s only cost 1 copper. I hope that this price makes it into the final version.
