    Negative. They only have to die while the 1 second Flame Breath debuff is on them. You can get the kill shot during debuff and it counts.

    I think it's actually easier if you can aoe one shot them. You only need to kill them while the breath debuff is on, which lasts a second or so. Just time your aoe to hit right after the breath cast and you'll get credit even if your aoe does the kill shot.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Well, they made Finn lose his accent, so somebody was thinking something. One of the theories is that Rey is a Kenobi since Obi-wan is the only other character that also had that accent.

    That's what I'm guessing. Doesn't have to be Mara Jade, but somehow Luke finds a force capable woman and they have Rey. She turns dark, takes Ben with her, and adopts the Snoke cover. Luke hides Rey away before going into seclusion. Given the way everything so far has heavily mirrored the...

    I like cool weapon procs and whatnot as much as the next guy, but the Legion weapons just don't get me that excited. All they did is move the skills you'd normally get leveling up and put them on your weapon. No one will be not using their artifact so it's no different than if they were just...

    I think they didn't split the vote because they weren't 100% sure they had everyone on board. Split the vote and even just Joe flipping and you get into some possible bad scenarios. A repeat of Tyson's elimination on HvV would have been just as cool though.

    Fear the Walking Dead

    I don't get that they would be panicked. They were trained soldiers that have been doing patrols out in zombie territory for a week+. I get being a little uneasy over the sheer numbers but that was a shitty response. Just calmly walk up to the fence and cap them one shot at a time without...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Most of the complaints are that it's a snowball map, but I think that's because people haven't figured out how to defend a punisher push. They don't attack like other bosses do and people haven't figured that out yet. My biggest problem with the map is how the spires work. They're 100% win...

    Heroes of the Storm

    I don't know if it's just because I play at night, but the treasure goblin mount quest is a bullshit implementation. I've gotten exactly 1 treasure goblin per day; my own. Never get one otherwise at night. Somehow I doubt they'll keep the quest active for 50 days.

    Fallout Shelter android/iphone

    I enjoyed this game, but probably more because of the fallout IP than the gameplay. The beginning is pretty slow while you build up, but once you get three wide rooms of everything resources start rolling in. It's definitely a facebook paced game where you play for 2-4 minutes several times a...

    Having one artifact for both your hands does seem to make sense. I was wondering what was up when they said ferals get a dagger. Seems like they'll have to rework leveling content a bit though, or will cats use 2-handers while leveling, and change completely when they get the artifact. Same...

    True, a 100k heal can't compete with a 100k shield; but if you think there's nothing that can compete with an absorb you're just not creative enough. Hell, there are tons of systems already in game you could give healers. Damage/heal sharing between tanks like the ring, some kind of 3rd...

    The problem is, after running HFC twice on my mains I'm not fucking running old LFRs with absolutely no loot upgrades besides the ring runes. I don't mind the steps to kill the bosses once but remove the stones/runes. A 715 ring is no big deal now anyways, so why make me go through all the...

    They have a poll up asking what your favorite WoD dungeon boss is. I actually felt kind of bad that I could barely name the dungeons much less the bosses. It's not like I didn't run them either, I just haven't run them since that first month. I can still tell you my favorite dungeon bosses...

    My guess, in addition to plain misinformation, is that people are just trying to get it done before 6.2 knowing that most of people will switch to Tanaan reps and groups will dry up. That and there's nothing else to do if you already have loremaster and explorer done. Any word on a rare...

    FedEx Cup

    Apparently those greens were 12 on the stimpmeter. If anything that seems low. The fairway on 16 looked faster than most PGA greens. Those drives were rolling 40 yards perpendicular across fairway and first cut. Overall though, I thought it was an entertaining tournament. Mediocre first...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Regarding the Tower of Joy fight, I always pictured Howland fighting more like Bronn; agile as fuck in leathers while hamstringing knights with his frog trident. In the typical swordfight trope, Dayne has Ned on the ropes but completely ignores his backside and Howland gigs him.

    My understanding from reading the Q&A is that unlike the Burden of Eternity the Empowered Apexis Fragment token is applied to the finished item. With the way WoD items have randomized secondary stats this allows you to pick the item you want to upgrade instead of getting stuck with a shitty...

    Heroes of the Storm

    What's with the back to back to back +xp weeks? Is it just to boost people up to hero league or is there something else going on. My 1-2 match a day ass isn't complaining mind you, but if they're going to continuously have the xp boost why not just change the scale or the order of rewards.

    It felt like the vs ai took a step up in difficulty a patch or two ago, especially using ai teammates. It used to be faceroll easy. Now ai teammates ignore map objectives and play poorly in general. It's not that the opponent ai plays all that great but even a great player can't withstand a...

    This only works because it's the spring season. When Russell went back to back they already filmed HvV before he knew he didn't win Samoa. The good news for Mike, Joe, or whoever gets voted back is they will have some time to recover and modify their game. Russell played HvV exactly the same...

    Just because they didn't find a clue doesn't mean there wasn't one. The clue Joe found in the soda bottle could have easily been missed if he hadn't spotted it.

    My kids make fun of me every week for saying all of Jeff's catch phrases right on que, and can't ever recall "a reward with all the fixins." Maybe if the actual reward was burgers or hot dogs or something, but what the fuck is all the fixins for surf and turf. I'm rooting for Mike and...

    The "zero-sum" crowd is not only stupid, but flat out wrong. I recently rerolled to a highly active server from a medium one. Having players with gear means that more pugs happen. Those pugs are often more successful, not because of better players but because the average ilvl is higher...

    Does that potential cast list mean that Mike and mama C don't win? Maybe Jeff's comment at the very end about taking the weakest means those two are doomed anyway. I don't know who the fuck would win if those two are voted out.

    It's also dumb in that it really does nothing to fix the gathering professions. It's a bit like vanilla hunter's tranq shot; it doesn't add anything to the class other than a gimmick to make the class needed. What is everyone going to do with all the raw materials that flood the market from...

    I know we're talking about seconds at this point, but you don't have to do all that every time you log. Log at table, refresh missions, move to trade huts, refresh those. Log out right there. Tomorrow do it backwards. Only open crates once a week or so when you're motivated. You cut out...

    I can't say first hand since I got rid of my lumber mill early as soon as I got the achieves but I don't think it's nearly the chore it used to be. Lumber doesn't have a cap anymore. Combined with what I imagine is much less competition than the first couple of weeks and I'd guess you could...

    Obviously Mike knows what a real idol looks like...he found the one Joe got the clue for. Even a fake idol has its uses. Worse case he could use it the same way Joe tried. Best case he gives it to Rodney and gets him to play it when the blues split.

    I totally get that BrM needed to be brought back in line, but going from 50+% stagger to somewhere in the teens/low 20s seems brutal. I loved that BrM was one of those specs that rewarded skilled players and was somewhat unique among the tanks. Now I just don't know. I hate too how these...

    I would add that unless you're actually using your small plots to craft gear, go do the salvage yard quest chain in south spires as soon as you hit 96. This will greatly increase your ability to raise follower ilvl which in turn unlocks the bigger GR, gold, and gear missions. A couple 630...

    I read an interesting piece today. It suggested that gays should use RFRA to claim that states not recognizing gay marriage "substantially burden a person's exercise of religion." They wouldn't even need to make up a gay religion; apparently for much of it's history the Catholic had an actual...
