It's a big download, but fortunately what I'm talking about happens as soon as the video starts showing the combat.
The video depicts a NE priestess (I think), but don't bother looking at her. She's got a dwarf warrior and a NE rogue fighting with her. Watch them. When they are fighting a raptor (I think), in between swings of their blades they stand upright, with their feet together and their hands by their sides. It looks awful, IMO.
I realize that it's probably an old video, but that's what I'm trying to figure out - if the new combat animations look better. That in between strikes, the character models are in some sort of defensive-looking stance, kind of like in Neverwinter Nights.

That video either must be VERY old or the animations could have been bugged because durring the Stress Test, when people were in combat, they had their own combat stances while fighting.
That is certainly not a very good combat representation of WoW in it's current form.
I'm a little confused, what is a "Bloom" effect? I did notice complaints on the WoW beta forums how this new effect is way to bright, but I still don't know what it really iis? How does it chamge the graphics??

OK, I'll try to show you what I'm talking about using a video over at gametrailers.com

Yeah that looks really crappy. It's the kind of thing I'd notice too so I can only guess it was an older build (or I didn't actually notice).
Can anyone who's in beta clear this up?

Are there any screenshots comparing the original graphics to these new graphics that are going to be put in?
