Okay so far I leveled priest and rogue to level 20 here is some of feedback from me.
-Class changes: more specs being playable without hindering your group or suffering like oomkins is great. Not gonna talk about state of class balance right now as we are only level 20 and there is probably much more changes coming in near future
-Changes to talents/spells like improved scorch only benefiting person casting them seemed strange at first but after some thought I must agree its a really good change. Now you dont need to bring 2-3 specific classes/specs to make your spec perform optimally.
-professions are worth doing now during leveling which is great
-base spelldamage changes are a bit concerning especially for specs like elemental shaman/druid which got hit the hardest
-I like that dungeon spamming is not the best way to level now THO doing dungeon once now gives too much power/experience imho
-More quests is great addition to game BUT
- My main concern is leveling feels a lot too fast right now its not really possible to explore new quests when you are overleveled and can move to next location while completing like 75% of quests in zone + dungeon
-What I loved about vanilla leveling is exploring and finishing zones for example as leveling a human elwynn forest → westfall → loch modan → 2nd half of westfall → early redridge → finish loch modan. Now doing westfall + DM/Hall of Thanes was enough to get me to lvl 20 skipping other zones like loch modan/ darkshore completely
-I remember fighting 2 monsters as rogue was life threatening experience in vanilla. On the beta my time to kill each mob is too small imho. Trivializing combat is a bad thing and makes leveling much more boring for me.
- Items provided by dungeon quests are too good compared to difficulty of monsters in open world. Doing a quest gives you guaranteed item and they just feel too powerful. I’m okay with item dropping in dungeon having that much power but for quest items its too much. Also dungeon quest experience should be nerfed a bit currently it seemed 1 dungeon run gave about 1,5-2 lvls at levels 18-19 and thats too much for me for 20-30 minutes run.
