I'm also going to echo the criticism that the game is just way, way too easy. I didn't even go for the quickhacking build, I did a Cold Blood build and once you get the perk that gives you armor per Cold Blood stack and the perk that gives you Cold Blood stacks on crit you basically can't die. I...

They probably signed a contract not to release it for PC first.

My take: No great filter. Universe has intelligent life on millions of planets, they're all just too far away from each other to ever find each other since FTL is impossible.

I beat it on run 15 using shield with hangover damage and +4 bounce. Shield special can offscreen things, you don't have to stand still to charge anything, and hangover makes up for the otherwise terrible damage.

Chainbreaker from Lethal Pride converts mana regen to rage regen. The downside is you lose rage when you hit a target but that drawback doesn't apply to totems, or you could use a spell that doesn't hit. That let's you use the rage on Berserk alone.

How high can one get gem quality? Alt quality Berserk gives 2% more spell damage per quality, that seems insane if you just do a spell totem build with Tukohama's Fortress, as you can get the rage for free with Chainbreaker.

With Potion of Illusion as the only spell in your deck, Tortollan Pilgrim is guaranteed to copy it and make a 1-cost 1/1 copy of itself, which lets you copy your entire board for 1 mana every turn. This means you can play it plus some reborn taunts, or it plus random battlecry minions, and also...

Edit: WTF how did this end up in this thread? I'm sure I had the other thread open.

Getting a goddamn haircut is now harder than getting a doctor's appointment. No walk ins, you have to make an appointment over a week in advance, are expected to show up 30 min before your appointment and can expect to wait up to an hour after your appointment time to finally get seen. I went to...

These changes actually buff DH, by nerfing its hardest counter in Warrior. A corsair cached lance or ancharr can't kill a 2/3 enrage minion anymore

This has got to be the worst beat of all time. Rogue opponent has 4 life, 3 cards in hand, and 12 cards in deck, 4 of which are bombs. He has nothing in play and I have 32 life and some stuff. He draws Galakrond, plays it, hits only one bomb on the draw 4 which goes on the armor. He plays a free...

Does the Temple of Atzoatl Atziri split into the full reflect form? I really should have thought about this before leveling that room up to level 3, Mjolner Arc obviously doesn't deal with reflect.

It did not. I'm currently running a build based on it and am basically afking all the bosses because nothing does any damage. I've never actually tried to kill Sirus on HC because apparently he's full of bugs that just randomly kill you but I might try it this time.

I don't see how 1s activation on Arcanist Brand is DoA. Storm Brand deals an average of 707 base DPS to the target it's attached to. As an example, Wave of Conviction Arcanist Brand will do about 1,070 base DPS to the target it's attached to. If you assume the lost gem link for Arcanist Brand is...

You're not using iron commander? Also, siege ballista is a ballista totem now which has 3 totems baseline, and you can get three more on the tree.

It's a build for hardcore so I stacked up the defenses, DPS is like a half million between the two spells which isn't spectacular but it's over 10k EHP, 40% less damage taken, applies blind, and both block and dodge are capped. Unless they stealth changed it in 3.11 without mentioning it in the...

Well, these changes solidify my choice to do the block/dodge cap build. It actually got buffed and I got to retain stun immunity with cyclone.

I actually checked to see if his old reviews are still up, and yup. I really have to say, if you leave up content like the above in the current political environment, you've got way bigger balls than I do.

I want to see Yahtzee review this game. I've said it before but I'm amazed he's avoided getting cancelled but I think this game review might do it.

I already did one for Scion. Acro/Phase Acro, the Overwhelming Offensive cluster, Assailum, Hinekora's Sight, and Atziri's Step get you to 65/65 and a quartz flask gets you to 75/75. You have to use a channeling skill but Cyclone is still good so whatever. Then you just have to get to 55% block...

They put Glancing Blows and Wind Dancer on the core tree, so with Gladiator or Scion you can now do a build that gets them both while capping both block and dodge on the same character. Glancing Blows blocks don't count as being hit, even though you take damage from them. If you cap both you can...

Might as well explain it: Blocked attacks don't count as hits, even with Glancing Blows. So if you cap dodge and block on the same character, "haven't been hit recently" effects like Wind Dancer will essentially never deactivate. So with blind you can get your chance to actually be hit to below...

Fuuuuck there's a thread on Reddit that exposes the maybe-bug that I was going to base my build on. They're certain to fix it before release now.

That Vicious Syndicate Warrior control deck is ridiculous. You naturally clown on all aggro and Wrenchcalibur beats Mage/Rogue by themselves, since neither of these classes can heal. It even shuts off Alex/Zephyrs.

Less area on Arcanist Brand looks abuseable because other than conc effect support there's basically no other sources of that. I'm definitely going to try out Firestorm/Icestorm brands because if it's like 50% less area you're going to have a situation on bosses where basically every single...

The meta is still better than what it would be like if they killed the proactive decks. Slow meta means 100% Dragonqueen Alexstraza decks where literally the only thing that matters is how much you can highroll Alexstraza and how many times you can copy/recast it.

It's still aggro DH. The nerfs don't make up for the fact that the only deck that could beat it lost the card that let it beat it.

I don't play much Wild, but what does the Open the Waygate change actually accomplish? I mean, that's a OTK deck, right? The Time Warp is needed to perform the OTK, and can't be used for any other purpose. By the time you've drawn all the cards necessary to OTK, isn't having finished the quest...

Yeah, now I know why I stopped playing this. Absolutely nothing but bullshit combo decks. At least 50% of my opponents are now either OTK Hunter, OTK DH, or Kael'thas Druid, which might as well be a OTK.

I'm surprised Warrior is on the bottom. I haven't played this expansion but shouldn't control Warrior just farm an environment with nothing but aggro decks?

If you click OK it updates to Workspace which means I can't login anymore.

Working from home with Citrix. At my job you have to use Citrix Receiver to login, the new Citrix Workspace does not work. It's official IT policy to use Receiver. I have no idea whose fault this is, but what's driving me nuts is that Receiver is the worst app ever in nagging you to update. It...

New Paladin defines lame and powerful. Liadrin + Libram of Wisdom + hero power is infinite value, meaning now there's two decks in the format (Galakond Rogue) where your choices are aggro, OTK, or lose.

Does this game still slow to an unplayable crawl about 125 years in? That's what turned me off it.

I honestly don't know why people ever play Hierophant, other than a small number of builds Scion seems strictly superior to the entire ascendancy.

This is the build I was planning on starting, 16k HP and block/spell block capped with no crazy items. DPS is meh but Soulrend clears really well and Allelopathy/Blight will still put out 500k DPS against bosses which is more than enough to kill anything. Still trying to rework this into an...

Blade blast combo is actually harder to build than I thought, it's physical damage, but since Archmage adds lightning damage you want to convert to elemental and use elemental overload. However, there's no good way to do that without wasting a ton of links and/or points on zero dps. With 4000...

I have one but I'm not sure you want it since I mostly play hardcore. So I'm overstacking defenses and then trying to find combos that mean my damage isn't complete shit afterwards.

New plan is definitely EK totems plus blade blast. I was expecting a damage bonus per blade, not a whole new spellcast. 4 EK totems is easily generating 20 blades per second, and I can set them all off with an x20 Archmage empowered blade blast for 20 copies? Yeah, that sounds fair.

Definitely arc totems for me this league. Huge mana cost multipliers for Archmage support without actually needing to sustain chain casting at that mana cost.
