16 weapons have a speed greater than 2.8 seconds. Nine of those sixteen have a speed of 2.9. There isn't a big difference there.
And, anyway, for Multi-shot and Aimed Shot you don't just use the speed of the weapon but the high end range of it as well. --------------------  |

didn't affect it at all... i have a pretty good system but nothing too fancy. in fact the test server was smooth as silk... they might have had a smaller population cap or something (or hopefully just maybe improved code efficiency?). could have also been due to the fact that almost everyone on there had done the "copy a premade lvl 60" feature, and there was only like 20 total profiles to choose from.
it was really cool though, i chose priest (bc my main now is a priest), the queue was insane (like 3300) but once i got in, i was amazed at the stuff they gave you. everyone had the full blue set (w/the new bonuses and adjusted stats). my priest (all priests were female dwarves) had an epic tiger mount, benediction/anathema staff, touch of chaos (wand off chromaggus), choker of the fire lord, neltharion's tear, talisman of eph power, cape off broodlord, onyxia head quest ring, and an 18 slot bag full of reagents and lots of other random stuff like a 5 stack of flask of supreme power, keys to all the instances, and misc high level profession stuff. oh and 150g so you could respec several times to try stuff out. other new crap i noticed... the flight path thing is really nice, you basically can see any flight path on the entire continent you're on, and it will auto fly/land you there past the points in between (ie you could go light's hope chapel to booty bay). priest changes are sweet, i'll prob go disc to get power infusion (really sweet looking gfx on that btw). edit: oh btw the weather did have a slider so you could adjust the level of detail |

(i can't read wow.com at work). and if they did, it wouldn't be some night and day difference. i'm pretty sure the test server was smooth because there was only like 10 character models in memory to render. as opposed to a normal server where you'll have 150 people all wearing different gear and have like 5000 different gear pieces to render. |

I activated a 60 druid on that server but I can't get it to work. Everytime I try to install the patch it doesn't work, it gives me some kind of crap errors
