    Maybe. We'll let you know around 6 or 7pm CST.

    Disappointed there's no mention of a curse rework yet. Quad-Curse Bladefall was my first level 90 character on Hardcore way back in Talisman, make curses great again.

    Hey can't I just suck all the temperature out of the air *in* in the Volcano chamber?

    I wonder if Impale is going to push pure physical over the top or not. Even if it's "just" competitive with BV and GC, that's still more variety without nerfing elemental damage conversion, which is interesting in its own right. And if Impale makes pure physical *better*? Could happen, you know.

    Man I love the dual wield change, makes a ton of sense even though it's going to piss a lot of people off. So alternating weapon skills suck balls for a league or two, but it sounds like main hand only skills got the Cleave treatment, and if so I bet they can still be pretty baller. Great...

    *Shrug* I thought it was some pretty solid sci-fi, the world is incredibly fleshed out if you give it a chance, and wtf is actually going on is never quite explained so it's easy to think about.

    'Fixed', hogwash! Not whiffing attacks against dead targets makes the game incredibly easy. IMO the only true version is the original NES version.

    Do you tend to dislike most sci-fi films that aren't action oriented (e.g. Moon), or was it something specific about this one you think?

    Well I thought I kept it blocked, but it looks like I cleared one block up too high so it drops gold currently. I'll definitely dig a vacuum around it, but what do I do about the 700 degree gold it shits out?

    It works that way cause the pressure builds up at each end point and will continuously flow based on usage after that. If you have it all in one pipe and that pipe is full pressure back to the start, only a very small amount of water will travel through it to the end, and if that small amount...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just takes some game knowledge, I get to yellow maps in about 8 hours (which is 2 or 3 play sessions depending on how casual I'm taking it) now which I don't think is too much to ask for starting from scratch. On subsequent characters with twink gear, that time is substantially reduced. The...

    I think it absolutely matters, if the base damage is as good as it was before with the endurance charge consumption, the 35% chance for extra damage is just gravy on top. The increased area I agree is insignificant, so if the base damage ISN'T upped accordingly it's gonna suck.

    That, but also the 20% increased damage taken on taunted enemies is so much better than anything Guardian gets, and I like 16% less damage dealt by enemies over the block offered by Guardian for survivability. Intimidate can be achieved through other means, and Crusader Slam I don't think is...

    I dunno, looks like the new base is the old +endurance charge area, so if the damage is upped accordingly it could be pretty beefy. I'm wondering if the new charge consumption will happen on hit like it was before, or if it's now on attack.

    I found a gold volcano right next to my base on this run. Wtf do I do with a gold volcano?

    Templar doesn't really have anything unique except that 40% buff to HoP. Champion is where the real money is at for minion builds, especially with these new brands.

    We'd have to see how it scales to draw any conclusions about the less damage there, it could be flat or it could scale.

    Yeah but summoning two totems at once is a massive upside, maybe even enough to overcome the numerical inferiority. I'd have to play around with it to be sure.

    Should probably wait on the patch notes. Jugg is a pretty safe bet on being tanky, but what skill to go with depends on what they nerf, buff, and the effectiveness of the new abilities which historically have a 50/50 chance of being total shit or OP.

    On Arcanists, I make them yellow and open them, not worth it to use too much currency on them just to not get it back half the time.

    It's got a bunch of little walls in the way that force you to backtrack significantly if you can't leap over them.

    I agree with all of that, too, but the pop tile system just didn't grab me. Like the adjacency bonuses I skip after a few planets because most of them are useless past a certain point. Ascendancy had a great pop tile system for its era, and it always seemed to me like Stellaris tried to...

    I'm with Agraza on this one. I don't think the pop tile system is interesting enough to justify the slowdown in late game performance at all, and anything they changed in that system to make it more interesting would probably just make late game performance get even worse.

    They just all look so good to me! Like 9 out of 10 times there's a dupe with a high skill/interest combo that I don't feel right passing up, and it always feels like I could use someone else to do something that's falling behind.

    Eh, for just supporting your own damage it doesn't matter too much. Warchief tends to clear out adds a lot better, and 18% more damage is roughly equal to 20% more attack speed, depending on the character. But Facebreaker Warchief is an extremely solid build for cheap.

    I've watched him, there's just more I need to understand about the game to really get it. Like I copied his Electrolyzer setup exactly and my base died because of it. EDIT: Tbh, it's probably because I get too many dupes. Things really go to shit when I got 16 dudes running around on cycle 40.

    I think so, yeah. It takes a bit to get the hang of it, but when you do it's very versatile and easy to dodge things with provided your movement speed is decent. Like it's definitely the safest skill I've used to kill Hydra boss, could probably do that fight with CI+EB on a cyclone character.
