    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    The first time you log in each day you will get a spectral acorn appear in your collection. You can add them to decks like any other card. When you use them you get 3 mana and threshold and they permanently change into a squirrel card, basically they are one shot buffs.

    I'm pretty sure it's 'reverie' not 'revelry' btw, just makes more sense in context.

    Minor nitpick - that doesn't actually have anything to do with the turing test at all. It's literally that a person typing to a chatbot and a real person can't tell which is which with more than 50% accuracy. It probably needs a better test these days, as it's not so much chatbots passing the...

    Ignore pain is (28) * Attack power * (1 + $versadmg), so it basically double dips on versatility - versa multiplies the size of your IP, and then multiplies it again by reducing the size of hits being absorbed. ( e.g. a 1 mil IP will absorb 11 hits for 100k but nearly 14 hits for 80k )

    Demon hunter is way better than monk in that respect. The problem there is that for dps, 3/4 of your mobility skills are part of your rotation, so you spend the entire fight derping around like an idiot with a -75% chance to avoid mechanics. Tank wise I found it great fun though.

    Marvel's Luke Cage

    I thought it was pretty good overall, but rate it last out of the marvel netflix ones - the bad guys just weren't compelling compared to the ones from previous installments. David Tenant made up for a lot of the shit in Jessica Jones, as the incredible fight sequences did for Daredevil, where...

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    The constructed ladder has no entry cost. You just go in with your premade deck and fight people, it gives various prizes for reaching different leagues, and the top 64 of cosmic league go into a cash prize tournament at the end of the season.

    Hunter sprint is on a 3minute cooldown, it's been a particular nuisance for me given how fast tanks are now.

    As far as I know, legion crafts do not use your crafting skill for anything, so it's pointless unless you want some draenor crafted toys or whatever. Exception is probably engineering - there's lots of teleport toys that have a min engineering skill to use.

    Hmm, I see a lot of complaining about demon hunter mitigation, but a quick comparison among my various alts suggests they really aren't that different at similar gear levels ( slightly lower physical mitigation, higher avoidance ) and demon spikes is a far better active mitigation than anyone...

    Starting WOW - looking for advice and info

    It's waaaaay mpre important that you enjoy playing the class you pick than any other consideration. Don't try and plan out 'the best' optimal path at the expense of fun. If that means you both end up playing pirate rogues and have shitty queue times, that's still probably a better outcome than...

    I think they certainly intend to remove artifacts from relevance for the next expansion. It's actually a pretty clever way of having AAs without the ongoing power creep by effectively deleting them every expansion.

    It's not entirely clear to me how that one is working - it sort of seems there's no connection between the future versions of them and the past versions, other than the one-off letter, but it could also be showing results of the past time changes in the future. In any case, I have so say that...

    Bear tanks are great, but I wouldn't commit yet, blizz are still throwing around 50%+ nerfs and 100% buffs each balancing patch, so being in the lead isn't really a safe spot ;p

    Stranger Things

    I would not really call it a mystery show. There's a bit to start with but it's more kind of an adventure horror type thing. Think Stephen King I guess.

    That was very satisfying. Left a few potential hooks for a sequel* but wrapped up story nicely. * Alternatively they may just be being dicks along the horror story ending lines.

    Sure, I thought windwalker was massively improved, and unholy, arms, fury were a nice improvement. I think every class, except maybe warrior, has at least one spec update that sucked though. So you can probably get heaps of people who hate every class.

    Healers get a a huge dps buff in open world, which leads to some odd situations, such as disc being far better than shadow at levelling.

    You should check out affliction - if you spec endless corruption you are left with like 3 buttons, and one of them is only usable with soul shards. It doesn't seem to have any obvious performance issues, but it's damn weird to lose so many buttons.

    Playstyle didn't really change all that much from what I could see. It's nice to get big numbers from giant earth shocks, but single target is still mostly keep up dot, use lava charges, spam lightning bolt. AOE was way worse than it used to be - you need maelstrom to use earthquake, and it's a...

    After running a few heroics and mucking around with the dps specs, windwalker actually takes my award for most improved - WW just didn't work for me in any way in WoD, but the Legion version was a lot of fun. Storm, Earth and Fire sucked steaming balls, having it as a generic dps cooldown which...

    I figured it might be a scaling issue, so I tried out tree and resto shaman ( tree is roughly the same ilvl, shaman is 30 higher ), had no issues with either of them - the amount of tank spamming you can do is like an order of magnitude higher on both of those. In fairness, it wasn't easy on...

    Yes, there are no Shyamalan or Lost shenanigans going on. The crew starts the first season with their memories having been wiped, but all of them know who they were originally by the end of the first season, and none of the backgrounds are particularly shocking.

    Sure, the basic idea is relatively easy to follow, just the practice doesn't seem to match up there - when the first big enemies show up in proving grounds, it just doesn't seem possible for me to put out enough healing to keep the tank alive. There's no trouble with atonement on him, but the...

    Hmm, gave my various alts a try out on the PTR. My initial concerns on over-simplifying seem to be pretty much unfounded, the trees let you add a heap of complexity if you are so inclined - the choice of passive vs cooldown vs extra ability actually made for some interesting choices. It'll...

    You would have to assume so. Besides, we know for sure she murdered Frey's kids, carved them up, baked them and served then to him. That is some next level serial killer shit, whacking some random kitchen maid barely even rates on the morality meter. It explains jaqen's smirk at her 'fuck...

    It's not the UI, the whole concept is pretty flawed for what they were using it for. It's like the bastard child of TOR and Megaupload, and would have run into the same problems - technically some creepy old pervert is storing his kiddy porn on your mobile, and you are using your mobile data...

    Too clumsy to get the meaning in to use it as a subtle clue maybe ? I mean how would a scene explaining what it meant even work without being a gigantic huge "CLUE!!! CLUEEEEEE!!!" flashing light ? It's not just Cersei though, everyone in the series fucks up prophecy. At the rate of epic...
