    Blaming Moffat for Sarah Jane is a bit harsh unless you are suggesting he murdered the actress to make cancelling it easier

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

    Opinions on this vary. There are a lot of arguments among backers about how important a strong pve element is. I would have said it was a requirement but I have been surprised by the number of people spending huge money on the beta, so I think it is probably possible to build a profitable...

    Bypass defense leader skill is a lot better, with the time it takes to charge dilma or lava you only get one use per run anyway. You want melchio or gx to lead if you have them. Don't even need to be leveled (though you should anyway, those guys are awesome)

    From what I saw through the game, if you are ever in a position where you are taking a ton of melee damage that you can block, you are probably doing it wrong. Also the timer on whirlwind and flurry is so long that halving their damage would lead to absurdly long fights. Mage cc melee dps...

    Douglas is better for most purposes than any of the boosted guys so that probably counts as a win anyway.

    Yeah. This is a stupid mechanic. A lot of things seem to be counterintuitive to a large degree, so many wasted points in my run through. Some tips for new starts I guess: -Weapon skills are useless, see above. - pick pocket is useless -Bartering is mostly useless ( it works but you are...

    Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell

    I doubt anyone would argue that. In retrospect I think the reason the superpowers in sr3 were so awesome came from their limited availability and contrast to what you are doing most of the rest of the game. SR4 just had no point to any of the cars or most of the weapons really, it was a bit sad.

    Cayena doesn't have a lot of hp, fills BB relatively slowly and is vulnerable to blue, she's not that good/bad - just got unlucky I think. Sometimes RNG bullshit can be funny though - seeing a team with a lira leader as a soft target and having your entire team paralyzed or cursed in the...

    Defiance Season 2

    End of show budget blowout effects? Still, I found that pretty satisfying as a series finale. The kaziri being a bc thing really does not make any sense with the travel time though. Its tech is still able to control the new terraformers when it is millenia out of date? Even if deliberate...

    The Last Ship

    It's a pity really, having them using captive humans as a distributed computing resource would make a lot more sense. After all, creating 'dumb' computers to run the matrix on is kind of hypocritical in the first place.

    Brave Frontier

    The usual reasoning is that ideally tesla is going to be using his BB every turn, or guarding if it's not up, so won't ever get to attack, so it doesn't matter if his attack is zero. That being said, it probably doesn't make a huge difference long run anyway - the times where the extra def/hp...

    Bojack Horseman

    I thought this was a comedy, but apparently it's an angsty rom-com, like How I Met Your Mother, only with just Ted and none of the other cast. Didn't hate it, but failed to deliver the lols.

    No, no they are not. The ranged always has an enormous tactical advantage - pulling, kiting, aggro ping-pong, ability avoidance, spacing are just some of the huge differences. The only time they'd be equivalent is when attacking a immobile defenseless spawn like a target dummy. Even then...

    What other options are you thinking of? Two chars equal damage, one long range, one close range are inherently unbalanced. Lower health, lower mobility, helpless at close range, lower sustainability are all things that have been used in various places.

    The Last Ship

    On an action and interesting plot development point, the finale was pretty strong, but really, that has to the dumbest evil plan ever*, it fails to make sense in any way whatsoever. * The bar for this is pretty low - one of the previous record holders was the movie where a secretive order...

    I just had a thought - you know you can stealth in combat as often as you want for 1 ap right ? You don't have to use the vanish skill, as long as no-one is looking directly at you ( depending on sneak skill ). You also took guerrilla, back-stabber and swiftfooted right ?

    Casters usually get vastly improved defensive abilities - for instance being able to attack from range with no danger of retaliation ;p Along with various forms of crowd control. Giving them that AND equal armor and health would probably be controversial. Still, I could see a game where...

    Well, tesla doesn't do shit for damage (also whichever healer ), so if you have no problem surviving something, bringing him is a waste. He's also terrible for arena, so there's some possibilities for mega. Felneus doesn't care what color your guys are though, so the real question is do you have...

    One vendor no-one mentioned so far is the smith in silverglen - if youhe sells unidentified legendary gear too. ( Unidentified is a bit annoying coz you don't know if it's shit, but it means if you have high barter you can buy it, id it and then sell it back for more than the buy cost ).

    Aaah, it was the rubies I was missing. Always wondered what they were for - thanks, that should help a lot.

    Am I missing something ? When I make plate armor with crafting ( metal scraps + hammer ) I get +15% to resists with + to a single stat ( e.g. +3 armor, +1 lucky charm ), and neither of the armor buffs increases the resist percent. Or did you mean you found some legendary armor with 70% resist...

    Yes, he has monstrous stats and a lot of fantastic buffs. The only reason he isn't top rate is that a lot of his individual stat buffs have a stronger alternative available. ( Michele, Zelban, don't remember the rec one ). You need to make a spark team to use him as leader - they can be a bit...

    I can't see how? I have a thief and they pretty much wreck stuff. Only thing I would want is some decent aoe. What stats does your thief have? On a pure damage basis, dagger is like a third of 2h axe but hits four times for each axe swing plus the backstab bonus. More importantly though is...

    Muramasa/Foil are great for questing as long as you are fighting stuff that does not hit too hard or live too long. Sometimes you need that extra buffer to stop your guys getting 1 shot, or that extra bit of recovery to keep up with the pounding you are taking. If I used the same team for...

    Malnaplis evolves to felneus, which is one of the top 3 units imo. ( the other two being duel sgx and michelle ). He is extra useful in that you won't need to stay mono blue, you can mix in the best of whatever colour guys you have. Judge based on how many hits their bb and sbb have for best...
