You'll know combat changes have gone to Test when...

[Magic Wand]

<DIV>You take your level 50 ubertoon into Oakmyst Forest to harvest collectibles, accidentally double-click an Oakmyst Beetle (funny how they adjust their paths to move under your cursor, isn't it?), and are dead before you can hit your first hotkey.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Erronn]

I will just wake up the next morning, and start using attack skills again, hopefully dispatching the beetle before I leave for work. <span>:smileywink:</span> </span><div></div>

[Odinwray Treewalker]

....people start planing their charcters around the stats of other classes instead of their own, the paladins become wannabie guardians who are only good as cannon fodder and first aid kits, and you have long conversations in OOC on how to play a different class because soon you will be that class <div></div>
