That’s fine, I guess if being slightly engaged is asking too much for “people historically interested in wizard,” they can play Elementalist: summon water pet for team mana regen, nuke every now and then (nobody will notice anyway, we’re all disengaged ), team loves you cause of +mana. All you...

I think the devs are focused on encouraging cooperation and socialization. Nothing I've seen leads me to believe otherwise. Quaid asked how people felt about playing Wizard. I've played one, I responded with my experience from playing the game during the last play test. If casting an...

Right. But we're looking for simple and deliberate gameplay here, not high APM high skill ceiling stuff. Simply press the right button at the right time, maybe even deliberate for a moment before pressing button. Get rewarded. Or I guess you could just not do that, just hit biggest number...

I didn't say anything about a super high skill ceiling or high APM. Is last hitting with the right amount of damage a high skill ceiling? There is no punishment for not last-hitting with your spells, you're just not rewarded with the mana refund. That's a simple and deliberate choice. Standing...

Gotcha. So there's no skill in this game, nothing to differentiate one player from another. /played = power. That's totally the type of game I want to pay a monthly sub for and engage in daily. As long as my time played is equal to theirs, I'll be equally as good. Fuck yea. Nothing could be more...

I am drunk so hear me out here, not trying to be an addhole. if the choice is between Gandalf melee and Raistiln coughing blood while his warrior brother assures everyone it’s ok man he’s good, not evil, he’s strong boy plz help him …. ? I dunno man. Y’all can sit? I’ll play the game and do...

Sitting between autos is lame and I expect that will be changed. Degen play based on current mechanics. Mana return on executes feels great - execute perfectly and get 100% mana back. Overkill, get a little less based on overkill amount. Cast a moment too early and you land the full damage nuke...

Here’s a an idea for a wizard passive: Concentrate Forcefully: stand still while targeting an enemy for 12 seconds, after which your magic damage is amplified by 20% on target. (Don’t hit tab) Now players don’t have to aUtO aTtAcK iN MeLeE rANgE and be in such danger, or away from their...

If Gandalf can swing a sword I think you can too. Spellblade is just a proc-based melee class that amps everyone else’s magic damage.

Seal of Magic is controversial because people think a wizard melee attacking is a problem. Fully stacked it’s a 20% magic damage buff. Absolutely worth doing when the name of the game for wiz is mana efficiency and last hitting for mana return. It doesn’t take that long to stack, and if you...

I thought the big deal with frontal stun immunity was that when other tanks got stunned, they'd take more damage because you can't dodge/parry/riposte/mitigate while stunned - so Ogres wound up taking less damage over all. Have I got that wrong? I'm likely going to be tanking in my group and...

There's a No Life Forsaken megathread on Reddit with lots of discussion about the book. I haven't gone back into the book to look for a physical description yet. Someone in a different thread last night said something like "oh and Qui... I mean Hasten" did such and such or something along...

Re: spell lists and whats available on the wiki I'm pretty sure they're still fleshing out the spells and abilities for classes. On NickHoTS' stream the other night he had a note pulled up with spells for elementalist: summon dagger, summon bandage, summon logs, that type of thing. My...

Considering the direction they've gone with Sense Magic and conning mobs/players to see buffs, I doubt they'd go that route for beneficial buffs. Maybe for the debuffs though.

Was cruising Reddit and someone said that:

I thought the Kharakanas stuff kinda made those two things (somewhat) interchangeable. Kaji, I think we were all a bit disappointed with this one. Not for what was in the book, but for what wasn’t, and what we wanted it to be, I suppose. Doesn’t make it a bad read, and doesn’t make us any less...

Couple of guys have been tearing up the park we walk the dog in. There’s a 4 wheeler in that we see a couple times per week. He’s done donuts all over the park. Last night we saw a pickup truck doing donuts pretty close to the dog park. Debating about how best to sabotage these fuckers.

This. 100%. I’ve got a buddy at work reading them, and I think he’s going to bounce off the second book, much the same way Hatorade appears to have done. Good ol’ Kyle. I think Return of the Crimson Guard is my favorite of Esslemont’s. I’m not sure what reading ICE without first having...

Completely hooked after the 10-day play test. Wish I'd played more in the earlier playtests. Been watching some of NickHoTS and alovingrobot's videos on twitch to see more about the game. Didn't realize there was a Bone Construct in Wyrmsbane. Not sure how I missed it. Would have been cool to...

My buddies and I had a great time during this play test. There are six of us, so clearly that helps. We'd fooled around one of the earliest tests a year or so ago for one night, but that was the extent of our experience going in. I've kept up with this thread, so I had a bit of working...

Just finished. Enjoyed it well enough. Like most, disappointed by the absence of our boy, among other characters from TGINW. Regarding power level and magery. I think Elder Gods are on a different level, but since Draconus was mentioned, I don't see how we 'leave K'rul out, considering his...

I just hit 16 on wizard and got Exodus, I may have to try this out. I made my way into Vale of Zintar the other night but was tired and died, just got my corpse back and gated without exploring anything there.

Awesome find! Love stuff like this. Where did it come from? My group is having fun - really excited about EA now. We’ve done all of Wyrmsbane, though havent got to farm the last boss for long yet. We’ve done both the goblin and ashira sides of Tel’Ekir, though mostly just the entry stuff. Last...

It describes Lorn and Tool’s descent into the ancient barrow, then Lorn chooses the acorn (finnest) amongst all the other items - Indiana Jones style. Not much description past that -Tool mentions that his Tellann Warren will have had its effect on the Omtose Phellack magic binding Raest, and...

Where's the goblin dungeon? My group did Wyrmsbane for a bit, but it's quite congested there and someone was training yesterday afternoon. So we just hung out on the undead highway last night. Very good exp for a group of level 5s! We also found an Ashira camp behind a hidden wall in the Shaded...

I’ve got a couple buddies at work reading Gardens. They’re not loving it but I’m trying to help explain things without giving too much away. I think if new folks can read through DG they’ll be hooked. I think the Chain of Dogs is some of Erikson’s best. I absolutely love this book and it really...

Ffs, Poe’s law in action there Oblig:

Have you ever thought about living somewhere that doesn't have elevators? Problem solved.

Unfortunate about the misspelling, but that’s still an awesome tattoo. Recently a couple of us at work read the Cradle series based on the recommendation of another coworker. After reading it and having some fun conversations, I suggested since I’d read his favorite 12-book series, he should...

I don’t like torgue at all, but I’ve been using the Convergence shotgun with Harlowe and it absolutely shreds, despite the ripper wind up. I’m running the Unstable Energy Pocket / Neutron Capture build. There might be a SMG that works better for this, but I haven’t found one yet.

This house is over by my parents’ neighborhood. They do this every year for Halloween and Christmas.

Sanderson’s work has some fantastically epic endings. Seriously awesome stuff at the end of each of the books. Getting there has been the problem in the last couple books. I appreciate how ambitious Sanderson is with his vision of the Cosmere and the story he wants to tell. He builds unique...

Been playing the Gravitar with my brother and buddy. We're having lots of fun, all of us around level 40 with a bit of story left to go. I have been playing the "support-ish" build with the little droids that follow and buff allies. Was planning to change spec and try something a bit more...

Hunted over my dad’s 3 year-old golden today, first time I’ve got to hunt with her. She did great, retrieved all 3 we got today like a champ. She was pretty pleased with hersel. Here she is with my brother and the first wood duck.

Just started the Cradle series last week on the recommendation of a guy at work. I’d seen this thread but never really thought to give Wight a chance. I’m burning through these books. Started on Thursday and I’m starting book 5 today. Really enjoying this series. The magic system is really...

Interesting take. I'd say his desire to win another SB is likely the only thing keeping the old codger kicking.

I don’t play chess. I understand the rules but it’s not something I ever got into. After the Queen’s Gambit show, I thought briefly about learning to play. Never did. All that said, this post was cool and quite interesting . Keep us posted as you continue to crush the local youth (and others)!
