    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    That makes more sense, I guess the speculation is it might be the new 6pc Inna's bonus. NDE is getting a nice buff. Also makes you immune to damage/CC for 2 seconds.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    So some information has been data mined from the 2.2 PTR. There is going to be a unique ring that causes your spirit allies to cast Cyclone Strike, Exploding Palm, Lashing Tail Kick, Seven-Sided Strike, and Wave of Light when you do. Considering WoL builds are already ridiculous, having two...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm jealous of your Inna's. The %damage increases the listed weapon DPS. So if it is (currently) 3,800 that'd add 380. Which is obviously better than rerolling the range if the max you can gain is 240. The interesting question is how good is keeping SW damage. I wish there was damage tracker...

    Is there ever a reason not to group? It seems like the buff for xp/mf just makes everything more efficient.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    It is a shame that there are so many builds that are gear dependent and getting the specific gear you need is so unlikely. There are multiple Monk builds I'd like to try but getting the pieces for just one build is a pretty daunting task.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Inna's is ridiculously good. The pieces I am wearing are worse than the gear they replaced, but it doesn't even matter. The extra spirit allowed me to switch up a bunch of stuff in my build and I can pretty comfortably (though not quickly) do T6 now.

    Gaz Priest is the only deck that really even has potential and it isn't that great. Kripp made a list for it thought, can Google it. Good starting point. Otherwise, no, not really.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Really enjoying my, probably in reality gimpy, Tempest Rush build. I got 4pc Sunwuko (really 3pc+RRoG) and I can clear Torment 4 pretty easily now. Getting close to making T6 a reality. My weapon isn't quite good enough yet I think and I could really use Inna's. Gungdo's are ridiculous, even...

    Kolento was at rank 1 for a while playing his Demonlock. Which may be even harder to play correctly than handlock is. Handlock is still really strong. Actually with healbots it can be argued that handlock has no weak match ups, it is probably a least 45% to win against everything. It is just...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Almost 70 on my s2 Monk (I hadn't ever done the RoS campaign, so I had to do that before I could do bounties). I've never played a Monk before so I'm just trying it out. Seems like so much changed about the game I feel kind of lost, but I'm having fun.

    Just went 5-1 with Priest (daily), hit rank 5 from rank 8. Two of those games I should have lost if my opponent played around Priest correctly (stupid stuff like opening up a really value turn 4 Shadow Madness, playing into Auchenai/Circle when I kept TWO cards in my mulligan, etc.) But that is...

    In my experience it is both AND where you are in the season. Beginning of the season from rank 16 to rank 12 I played vs Mech Mage 19 hours a day. Only didn't show up between 1 am to 6 am my time. Soon as I was rank 10 (and basically stopped seeing rank 12+ players) I stopped seeing Mech Mage...

    It'd be easy to do if you had enough people playing with some kind of match data gathering app running. I imagine if Hearthstats ever gets enough users active it could do something like that. People already do this to a degree on their own, you'll see streamers switch up decks based on the fact...

    The math is pretty simple. It is +25 wins to hit legend from 1 star into rank 5 (which, ignoring streaking into 5, is where you start when win streaks stop). A 70% win rate is +4 wins every 10 games (3 losses, 7 wins), so you need ~70 games. Pretty easy thing to chart out. 100% win rate: 25...

    I added in Bomb Lobbers to my Warrior, I beat Mage Mage consistently now. They need a really good start (including a Chugga if I have any weapons) to win. Mirror Entity from a Scientist is just too good a tempo play vs most decks, because the Mage gets to attack with it first. Warrior doesn't...

    Hearthstone

    Um, Priest beats Mech Mage. By a lot. It is one of the most favorable match ups on ladder right now, when played correctly. Kolento was just talking about this on his stream. Priests aren't on ladder right now because they suck against Rogue and everyone is trying out the new Oil lists.

    My new Dating Pool

    From my limited knowledge, porn stars often will do prostitution (and make more doing it in some cases then they do on their videos). But it is guest appearances at places like the Bunny Ranch, i.e., legal brothels.

    Kripp went like 9 wins yesterday with a deck that had 5 Argent Protectors and I think 25 cards in the deck were 3 or less mana. You play what the draft gives you, nature of arena. Drafting a good agro deck is actually incredible if it happens, easily 8-9 wins if not 12, but agro decks are VERY...

    Hearthstone

    Generally speaking whichever agro deck is the cheapest to build, can have a roughly 50/50 win rate in most match ups, and has games that can end by turn 5-6 is the most common deck on ladder. Currently Mech Mage fits those criteria the best (with Face Hunter being less consistent, but also being...

    It is in use actually, in India (and has 15 years of clinical human and animal trials over there). Clinical trials in the U.S started in 2012 and it was actually supposed to be available this year but various delays pushed it to 2017. It is 100% effective in every trial to date and is easily...

    Druids also have Ancient of Lore. If Shaman had a comparable draw mechanic, bloodlust would be fairly reasonable. You can build some really interesting Shaman decks but they all suffer from the same basic problem: no good options for draw. When you are running Gnomish Inventor as standard (which...

    So four 2 drops and one 1 drop. Borderline, if you get unlucky you can easily go 0-3 with a deck that slow. Not surprised at all. Getting the board back, especially post-GvG, is hard. If you get a slow start it is very easy to lose. @Deathwing: Pretty highly. I'll take a Zombie Chow over a...

    Generally in arena you want 6-8 1-2 drops, ideally. If you are losing by turn 8 it sounds like you didn't have enough early game and got out tempoed.

    Tides did his legend run last season with a Druid deck that ran Watchers/Fel Reaves/Ogres+Wailing Soul/Spellbreakers/Keepers for silencing their downside. There are a lot of ways you can build it.

    In arena or constructed? In constructed, not really. In arena it is certainly the top class, but nearly every time I get past 5 wins on Priest I go to 12 because I can beat Mages. Arena has a pretty clear cut meta right now. Mages beat Paladins, Paladins beat Priests, Priests beat Mages...

    You have a lot of tempo/tempo reversal cards there and some solid 1 and 2 drops. Not surprised the deck is doing well, probably hit the Mage wall at 9 wins, but 9-11 wins probably.

    Also not really clear from the card text, it'll clear every mech from your board if you have more than 3. Found that out completely randomly when I recombed into the head.

    Arena is arena. I lost to a terrible Mage today at 6-2. He had Ysera+Faceless, at least three Frostbolts, at least two Fireballs, at least one Flamestrike, and honestly he didn't play a single minion I wouldn't put as first or second tier for arena. Easily a 12 win deck, but he played like shit...

    Agro decks in arena generally do very poorly. If you try and draft one on purpose and get unlucky in your later picks, that is an easy 0-3. Generally up to ~5 wins in arena a lot of people go face and sometimes they win as a result, but those aren't agro decks, those are players who don't know...

    Stringy meat comes from overcooking, you've put it under so much pressure for so long that most of the moisture has been wrung out, the proteins have been denatured, and it can't hold its shape anymore. Pretty simple. Very easy to do with a pressure cooker. You essentially have tight little...

    Arena - Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Wiki Has a chart. 12 wins is the only chance to get two packs and it is random if you do. I wish. You can get that lucky, but it isn't guaranteed or even average. Unrelated, Trump tweeted that he slept in because he made a mistake about the schedule.
