    I did warm up to it, I wasn't a fan of the mechanics but now that I'm more comfortable just meleeing stuff I like playing Shade, the ult does recharge very quickly with the changes. I don't play it on Legend though yet, I feel like I still make too many mistakes for me to not be deadweight, I...

    I did halescourge for the first time on legend today, the nerfs helps A LOT. Our team was Huntsman Kruber(did most of the damage that run, very good player, good eye for specials and shit and thank god because the rest wasn't so great), Handmaiden Kerillian, Witch Hunter Saltz and me on Slayer...

    That damage reduction is kinda like whatever, it's nice to have but not a big deal. It does make Kruber himself a lot tankier than HM though, since you have 150health with 15% reduction, while HM is just 125hp with no reduction. Only tankier chars are like IB(150hp, 20%reduction, blocks a hit...

    Yeah foot knight feels pretty good for a "tank" because you can kill a lot of shit with good halberd usage and the low cd charge is great for controlling shit. On champion I could easily carry bads with halberd FK, it only sucked for boss damage and stormers spawning super far since I used...

    I mean in theory you can start before too and if you're good it's fine, unless playing Sienna then I wouldn't recommend it since you can't force vent nearly as well so it's pretty bad until 20. I leveled a bunch of shit from 10 to 30 on champ, but not the first characters, had to get used to...

    Until june. Then they do a flashback league I think temporarily, and then new league is like end of june or so.

    I haven't really played handgun much, but supposedly on legend it stops one shotting a lot of stuff without headshots. If you have good aim though and can reliably get headshots often at range, it's definitely a great weapon. Generally speaking, unless your Sienna/Kerillian/Saltz are trash at...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Don't know how you had them down to so little, I played on SSD too(I play everything on SSD really) and it was still about 8-12secs for even the smallest loading, and sometimes close to 20secs for the larger areas. It was really really shit as I mentionned in my post. That said from what I've...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    I played this a couple weeks ago in preparation for the 2nd one. It was... average? It wasn't terrible but there were a lot of flaws, in many ways it showed that it was a kickstarter project and stuff. The expansion content felt more polished and more interesting overall. If I had to list the...

    Item power isn't that big as long as you keep some of the items up since it averages your items and then add your class lvl which is generally higher when lvling. You can also craft stuff when you want a big upgrade at once. It's worth keeping a trinket with curse resistance for grim reduced hp...

    Really depends. The fastest way is incredibly boring and tends to be running Empire at Flames on high difficulty(hard to do if it's your first char though since you don't have the requirements for higher diff) and failling as far as you can get, getting to the wine cellar is like 400xp in...

    %damage vs armor can be good if you need a treshold for stormvermins one shot, but vs skaven would be better in this case too as I think you can get skaven+chaos on the same item. Still better than vs berzerkers though. There's a lot of not great stats, even the % power vs aren't great unless...

    No idea about controller, never tested and I never play any sort of FPS/TPS with a gamepad if I have the choice. For weapon balance the big difference compared to VT1 I think is that they added chaos mobs right, and Chaos Warriors(the big armored fuckers) are fairly common and much tougher to...

    It's not really animation cancelling anymore, it's just resetting the combos. You can't actually cancel block most shit anymore, but sometimes the moveset are shitty past the 1st or 2nd move so you want to block to reset it back. This is mostly a thing with halberd and glaive, I think you can...

    The datamining and actual theorycrafting is still underway, without mod support yet a lot of the testing is hard to do. Here's a general overview of the best choices based on what I've seen. Everything is subject to change and playerskill trumps everything as usual, push attack is a new VT2...

    Beam staff still great, just requires more venting. Which does make it shittier to level with, since venting options are super limited at low level. That said since that was the case beam wasn't really that amazing anyway for lvling. I leveled Sienna with a bunch of fireball and that worked...

    Well he got banned from Twitch obviously and Mineski made an announcement to apologize, but he hasn't been fired or anything(which would kill the team really so that makes sense).

    Spear isn't good. It could be, but just isn't. No weapon is good for legend other than Glaive, really. Like yeah you can complete maps with other weapons, but you're just making it harder on your team and yourself. Glaive charged attack does twice the damage Wardancer/Spear do on charged...

    Well for the skill stuff this next league should have a bunch, they've already started talking about it. I guess all the potential previous changes were pushed back due to other issues and that led to 2 leagues in a row with not much new stuff, some new skills that underperform and/or are the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Oh good that's what I was waiting for, some way to buy both legion and BfA without getting fucked in the ass since before that I'd have to buy both legion and BfA separately which was retarded with Legion only have a few months left.

    Some classes are still shit though which sucks because a ton of people are picking them now. Like so many Shades, even though the class is still bad even with lower cooldown, and all of them were shit too. Did some legend runs in pubs after the patch, it seems better than the beta version but...

    Steam has a deal until tomorrow(april 2nd) for the Steam link. Buy DOOM/Hollow Knight/Fall Flat and get Steam Link for 1$+Shipping. Shipping is expensive, kinda, but that still puts the Steam links pretty cheap. I grabbed Hollow Knight for 21euros total, since the game is 10euros on sale, that...

    Usually don't have issues but sometimes I'll get like 4games in a row going really bad, like retarded spawns or retarded people it's kinda weird. Rest of the time it goes fine though, some runs are a bit scrappier with deaths and shit but it's fairly balanced. Legend is meh though in pubs and...

    You can do champion super easily at 200item power if you're lvl 20+ though so it shouldn't be too much of an issue unless you want to do legend. The grind is the same before 200 than after too. Personally I just grinded recruit and veteran a lot and didn't open my commendations and since I...

    I'd say probably some melee thing with Scion, something that's like Reave for clear Flurry for bosses, or Molten Strike which is good for everything.

    Meh attackspeed isn't that great and you can get Swiftslaying on your weapon eventually which gives 20% speed when you crit, which means crit is a lot better. Crits also cleave more so for hordes it's often quite similar and then there's some crit synergy stuff. 2nd one, headshot does more...

    Yeah curse reduction is for grim, it's effectively additional health when picking grims. Very useful stat, worth getting on a trinket and then just keeping the trinket until you get another with curse resistance, no reason to switch them up while lvling. For the 15 passives on waystalker, the...

    I have no particular interest in DQ as a series but since it'll be on Steam I'll probably play it at some point on a sale or whatever unless I'm bored when it releases. I only played DQ Builders which was kinda fun but pretty shallow and a remake of an old one on 3DS, 6 or 7 or whatever and I...

    The host related issues are apparently longstanding issues with their engine, it seems there were various issues with it in VT1 too, so that's probably why it's taking longer. I've had decent results just whacking the boss with block push attacks and having it turn around even though I'm not...

    It's funny how the ability will sometimes hit like some shithead special that was behind a door and then one shot 2 more specials that you didn't even know were there and sometimes you see some fucker on a ledge lobbing poisonous bomb at your group, fire directly at him, and the arrows just bend...

    They obviously do since they're always talking about the economy and whatever and they do have a fair amount of standard players. The only time they go crazy with shit is when they void the leagues, and tbh the void leagues are often the most fun, because it feels kinda like D3 where you make...

    The Bard's Tale 4

    In some cases it'll be useful for catching bugs and for UI feedback. Content you should mostly ignore I think and that's why they only give partial limited demos for alpha/beta but it depends on what you do with the feedback in the end. I don't buy into alpha/beta tiers for shit like this, but...

    Ni No Kuni II

    30hours seems like a fine amount to me for a rpg. The old school jrpgs are mostly 30-40hours, it's just at some point they started becoming longer and now it's the norm somehow? But if you go back and play Chrono Trigger or FF6, they're around 30-40hours(although in my memory they were a lot...

    She's pretty shit until 7, at which point she gets ok if you switch to Pyro, then at 12 you're probably better off playing as Unchained for a while. Once you hit 20 or so is when you can easily go back to pyro and become god. She's great at everything with beam or bolt staff(with beam being a...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    Blizzard slowly going the way of Valve, they'll just make money out of the shit they've already made and aren't making any new games soon. I think they'll be re-releasing war3 and D2 for the next couple of years and just selling more wow expansions/overwatch costumes/heroes of the storm heroes...

    Iirc it's going to be cheaper to buy the vive pro+normal vive which comes in a bundle with shit than the shit on their own. Like you save 50bucks or something and you get a free normal vive out of it which you might be able to resell. I saw someone doing that math somewhere. Anyway shit's looks...
