Well, I carried an RPG as my secondary weapon for most of the game to deal with high HP enemies. The carbine took care of everything else without ammo issues, since almost everything gets one-shot by headshots. For fast/close enemies, stun things with your Vigor of choice to make it easier. I...

Admittedly I played on Normal, but I found those ghost fights the easiest "boss" fights in the game, so the strategy will probably work well on higher difficulties too.

To clarify: You can make any kind of character. The system is extremely flexible, there's a fuckton of skills you can combine in thousands of ways, and new ones are added every other week. You can make a high mobility, high dps, low defense melee character. It will, however, be a character that...

You can semi-permanently gimp your character. You can move like a third of your talent points around with free respec points (but they still have to link up correctly, so it still doesn't allow for very significant changes), and you can spend a buttload of in-game currency to move the rest. It's...

I wish I was you, Soygen. That game.

Racers generally only use 1 or 2 skill gems. Use the other A1 quest rewards to grab random blue gems, then use the blue gem + iron ring recipe to make cold resist rings.

Listen, if you are making statements along the lines of "people who play that hero" you're not quite at the level where you can make qualified statements about hero balance.

During PoP, Mortalis was on Venril Sathir, competing with Tide for server firsts and usually winning (IIRC). As far as I can remember they were consistently top ~10 worldwide during that era. I was in a rather scrubby guild on VS at the time, but I think that's right. I remember reading...

Holy shit.

I'm not a big fan of PL (entertainment wise) because he's not a very interactive hero post the early lane phase. Like AM and prenerf Lycan he starts spiraling out of control if you let him out of your sight in the mid-game, and he requires a coordinated effort to counter. Unless the other team...

You probably have a custom pick interface, either through installing one or through a bug. Google it and I'm sure there's a way to reset to default.

Don't kill him. Just hug the south west wall and you'll never meet him. That's also the fastest path between exits, so it works out well enough. If you do run into him, exit out and log back in. He's not worth the trouble.

I thought the controls were clunky as shit on my first character too. This is mostly due to animations forcing you to stand still, and early on you have no attack/cast speed, so it just feels really sluggish. Once you get some attack/cast speed those animations get sped up a lot and the game...

CI buff will be a great boost to level 60-70ish CI, and a solid boost to level 90 CI. Still, CI pools in the absolute endgame are already so large that it's not really the main issue. At level 60-70 you'll typically have a 200-400 ES chest. At 90+ you might have almost 1000 ES on your chest...

Arty is the only thing keeping heavy tanks / TDs in check.

Highly relevant. Few mobs do chaos damage, but the ones that do are very dangerous. Plus there is a map affix which deals constant chaos damage.

I picked this up again a week ago, hadn't played since Beta. At that time, Tiers 3-10 were in the same matchmaking pool, and there was no premium option to make driving Tier 8-10 tanks sustainable. You pretty much had to drive Tier 1-2 tanks or get smashed in Tier 3-6 tanks for cash, and the...

I'm 72 in hardcore and doing maps just fine solo. Difficulty is not the issue. Most of the time there's less than 10 public groups up in hardcore merciless, with half being for progression kills (where getting the kill matters more than the loot) and half being for easy xp grinds (where risk...

My character is designed to stay at maximum distance from the mobs, literally off screen in many cases. Being a CI user, I have 0 armor and 1 hp, which means I need to avoid taking sustained damage. To loot stuff in time, I would have to risk my HC character dying due to poor positioning. It has...

As far as I know, map drops are not affected by the # of players quantity bonus. Nor quantity bonus on your gear, for that matter. Maps have a fixed chance to drop from any monster of a sufficient level, and that chance is much higher in maps. The only thing that affects that chance is map...

I doubt they would make more money pricing things cheaper. My main is a dual totem sparker, I will probably drop $8 or whatever on the spiders since I love the game, cast that spell constantly and have lots of disposable income. If that effect was $2, would 4x as many people buy it? Probably not.

My current HC character is also a dual totem build, following Dominion's lead (see link in Etwynn's post above). Word of advice: It's boring as shit. I'm going to keep trucking because it's my highest HC character and I might as well go until I die, but there's no way I'm making another...

Your physical attack damage is relatively meaningless with LA. Half of it gets converted to lightning so it can be boosted by your +% elemental damage nodes/gear, but it doesn't get any other special kind of boost. Since 100% of elemental damage gets boosted by those same nodes/gear, elemental...

Looks like it hits his head, then his upper arm. With the arm in an unnatural position, that would be a handball.

The Enrique goal was nuts.

Most games are stomps because pubs give up immediately when they get behind. If they even try to win, they are terrible at playing from behind. It doesn't matter how balanced the teams are from the get go; A few lucky breaks in the first 10 minutes, and now one team is 5 kills and a tower in the...

Your stack of friends is carrying you to a higher rating than your skill level, then you get pummeled back down when you queue solo. Sorry, bro. Truth hurts. Since this has happened on multiple occasions, I'm sure you can dig out at least one example. Go on, we'll wait.

There's a button at the top of your shop which switches the look between tiled (lots of items, no titles) and detailed (few items, many tabs, item names)

*shrug* I prefer solo queuing over queuing with friends who are worse than me. The latter frustrates me to no end.

1617 (Platinum), 90% percentile. I'm genuinely surprised there are that many lower players. I'm not very good.

Who gives a shit about UK law? UK law does not dictate how many games FA bans him for.

Racism is an important overall concern for FA and international FAs. That's why Suarez got 8 games - setting an example. Physical abuse of snotty, game delaying ball boys is not a major concern. There's no way he's getting 8+ games. Also, I doubt a 17-year old really gets hurt that badly by...

Haha. Fuck you, dotabuff. It's a shame they had to go there. Dotabuff was a fantastic site before they started messing with DBR. Now the site will beseverelygimped.

If you played HoN you should have no trouble believing it. Visible PSR made that community even worse than the Dota community, which says something. Players would flame the everliving crap out of people with 20 lower PSR and bully them into playing support. People would insta-leave games if they...

Voted, and passed it on to guild members. I'm famous!

Radiance and Diffusal is 8450 gold. So you were going to have over 750 gpm from minute 10 to 20?

Buying a gem for map control can be a decent investment, but is costly. You can buy 3.5 sets of sentry wards for the cost of a gem, without the risk of handing your opponents a 1400 gold advantage on death. Considering counterwarding should usually be done by a support, that risk is significant...

I'd be delighted to sell Suarez for a ridiculous amount of money. The moment he stops playing like a god will be the moment he is nothing but poison for the team.

What program do you use to make simple renders like this?

Oh yeah, about that Pyros, Meepo is not weak to Cleave/AOE. That's a common misconception. You don't give a shit if all your meepos are at 20% hp as long as none of them die. Meepo is far more vulnerable to powerful single target burst than AOE. Obvious exception for Earthshaker.
