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

    Yeah, every race has three unique cards they get from quests in the adventure zone. The first for completing the tutorial dungeon, the second for reaching the main ardent/underworld city, the third for defeating the dryad and crossing the second bridge. They vary in effectiveness, a few...

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

    That's one way you can do it, still needs some luck given you have to play at least 5 shards which means you can get screwed by the flamethrowers. I used a scourgecrag witch on my warrior (sucks up Queen's resources and uses then to buff herself to super strength), and a single righteous...

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

    The biggest abuse of warrior affinity is for dwarf warriors - battling a champion stuns them, meaning they get no resources back the next turn. It also prevents them from playing any new shards, which might be a bug, hasn't been confirmed. Currently though, get some good charge generation going...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The ring missions won't show up unless you have unlocked the ghost crew ship equipment ( spyglass ) - have to get it off the cursed captain in tanaan, and it's not a 100% drop. I don't think you actually have to put it on a ship, but that might be worth trying if you have it and haven't done so...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    The show is hitting all my buttons for stupidity in dealing with things that are 'immortal' via healing. 'Oh no, he can't die, let's just leave his body here to heal back up ?' Even with conventional means, dismembering them and separating the parts, sealing them in concrete and dropping them...

    Yeah, for the three episode roundup, I've dropped all the new shows except erased and dimension w. ( Only seen 2 ajin so far, but probably stick with that one unless it gets real bad real fast ). Gate remains good.

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

    Chests are pretty much a trap, don't spend gold on them if you want to build up a deck. Absolutely don't roll legendary chests unless you are really desperate for the exclusive primal sleeves. Boring as it is, the best way of building a deck is probably selling your boosters on the AH and...

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

    The lag seems mostly sorted now, and I've been very happy with the pve lineup so far. It's got a good mix of stuff, difficulty is kind of low, but it is the newbie levels (1-9) so that's to be expected. Shin'hare follow the proud tradition of sucking in every way though, play shin'hare mage...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I've been mucking around with alts lately, and need some advice from people that play locks or spriests. How the hell do you do targetting for multi-dotting stuff ? 'Target closest' action for tab seems to be completely broken - it won't target anything which is at the optimal range for...

    I agree the apexis shit is pretty tedious, but if you get 3-4 good greasemonkey followers an alt shipyard become pretty self sustaining. If you bother to get revered hand of the prophet, the oil rig means you can spam ship missions as much as you want. There used to be no point, but after the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They didn't update the token it gives to the current tier of tokens, and they added a vendor that sells 645 upgrades for followers, so bunker is not very useful, and when your guys are capped, it's entirely useless. There's no really compelling replacement though - I've changed the chars I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You can make a hell of a lot more than that. 'Unknown' is the shipyard. No rare gold missions for today, 7/11 shipyards in full operating mode, 4/11 still re-rolling for dwarf ships ;p Low amount from AH because I am recovering garrison resources from re-tooling all the shipyards ( 100% of AH...

    I thought it was good, if not as good as the first, but I find the riding around on the outside of the giant robots to be kind of ridiculous. Sure they apparently have forcefield bubbles or something, but it looks absurd.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's fine, I brought them up as an example of that playstyle being fun to play. Balancing is something different - rift was probably a good spot for them; if their healing is equal in every way there's no reason to bring any other healer. This is more of a problem for WoW because being able to...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm more optimistic on that front - rift choloromancer and vanguard blood mage both played similar to how they are aiming discipline, and it was a great, fun, playstyle. I think the biggest danger there though is the right in your face obvious one - if discipline is equal to other healers in...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Rogue and Mage are top dps by a fairly wide margin (~20%) at extreme gear levels. All the rest of the dps are pretty similar, except windwalkers, who still haven't recovered from the last round of capricious nerfbatting. If you aren't going to be mythic raiding it doesn't matter at all IMO though.

    Erased - interesting, will watch more Gate - continues to be good, will watch Divine Gate - rubbed me the wrong way, turned it off halfway through first episode Active Raid - not sure if this is deliberately a parody or not. Mixed bag, may watch more. Dimension W - this one was good...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He's M.L.N Hanover too - a surprisingly busy guy. I recommend The Black Sun's Daughter for that matter, very clever plotting, I liked it more than most of his stuff as Daniel Abraham.

    Yeah, two of them dropped from the cultist guys outside the locked door. That end boss is kind of crazy there yeah - not enough to have ludicrous hp and near instant kill ground aoe, but also has to have pets that debuff and snare ;p

    I did a level 21 secret area at 14 with shaman - I was kind of surprised to find that the exp you get for that is way worse than just killing regular stuff. Got a really good sword off the last boss, which is sadly useless for a shaman ;p

    What did you just read?

    I use amazon's newly released recommendations list. You have to put a bit of work into putting a list of stuff you like, which is a downside, but it's 100% on giving new releases on authors you liked, and has a reasonably good hit rate on related recommendations.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Frost has a rotation which is basically whack-a-mole so it depends if you like that kind of thing I guess. Legion looks to be making it less RNG-tastic by having killing machine only apply to obliterate, so you can never use it up on the wrong thing.

    Hmm, gave this one a go - did shaman, kind of fun with the insect swarms and lightning and such. Anyone got any tips on the crafting stuff ? Adding it to gear seems pointless because of how fast you replace it, but I am not sure if the early craft items are worth anything in the long run -...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For legion ? DK I think - death strike is being changed to use runic power instead of runes, so your dps doesn't go to hell if you spam it when levelling. Given how ass all the rest of the melee self healing is, I would not be surprised if they make death strike blood only though.
