Hey there, sorry I haven't had much game time the last few days due to some family court stuff. I spent about 1½ hours playing around with the tutorial...VERY fun class abilities. Yes, arenas feel sorta WoW-ish, but the targeting is reticle-based and you don't have an insane amount of skills like you do in WoW. You have about 10 skills. The arenas are much larger than WoW's and all classes have sprint and have abilities that allow them to be very mobile. For example the Pyromancer has an ability similar to a WoW hunter's Disengage, which allows them to jump backwards very suddenly out of melee range, however, unlike WoW, the distance you jump is HUGE, and you can control the direction. If your reticle is pointing at the ground, you can jump straight up, or maneuver yourself to jump backwards onto an upper landing. The Warden also has a sort of "whirlwind" attack, and depending where you point the reticle, he can 'helicopter' up onto higher landings as well. I haven't jumped into the full game yet, but I have to remap all the controls for my n52te. The keyboard default is nice, but I never use the keyboard for this style of game. Will give more info when I have it.
Although it looks like the date is almost here and he hasn't said anything yet....
