Frosty Faustings is live. Bad weather to visit chicago. But the punching must continue. Think this is the first real tourney with 2xko?

CC is definitely a valid role in a group, and you'll generally want a class that can break camps by pulling in some fashion. There is barely any AE dmg abilities so burning packs down isn't in the design at all.

Keeps taunt and defense up. Plus all the tanks have a combo when they can slam the mob in the back that does pretty high dmg + perks every 20? Seconds. Spellblade also gets dps if they get smacked with their bubble up. Definitely some meta gaming with some classes to taunt off the the tank...

I think that was the plan. Should say on their website somewhere.

The complaints with bard charm was it works to a higher mob level than enc, and it's pretty disruptive if your in an outside zone doing flyby charms for half the camps in the zone and slowly working them down. So could be worse in a dungeon now? The cool looking shield i thought he said it was...

Full blast gamma is still fairly hax. It's on a list of things to adjust further down the line (again) But they'll probably wait until ultravision is available for testing again to clamp the visibility ranges without lightsources. Gonna be awhile. Shit looks pretty bad with blown out...

Honestly that's pretty good for an "ugly and huge" race. I expect it'll trend upwards a touch. Their racial warstomp has some potential for meta cheesyness, and while they toned down the stats, they are still quite good for melee or tank classes. Ogre monks having another stun is pretty sick.

The size scaling on ogres using bows is hilarious. They're ENORMOUS

I mean the only thing that is gonna put a dent in the DE popularity is the fact that you'll have to reroll one/ do a fresh start on new servers when module 1 comes out, and I suppose if you don't want to play a gothic elf. I'm more into the deep gnomes personally, even though their class...

Fuck me. Achewood was the best. It looks like he's been doing more strips on patreon!

Didn't catch the whole stream, but open session this month not likely. Something in Feb hinted at. Which makes sense, i'm sure they'll want to do a stress before beta.

Yeah, that would be annoying to have your mouse floating over there if it counts as a separate normal monitor.

Rangers getting melee procs too. Oh and arrow recovery. No more cursed corpses for shooting arrows at them. Annoying for bow pulling for other classes though.

Last I heard, they were looking to invite a ton for beta, so pseudo open. If not open open. We’ll know later.

Sk+rogue. Or fighter prolly work too, but having a snare is handy.
