    Man even the website is awesome. More like 90s website, but the fucking visitor counter gif that never stopped and the pink/blue links had me laughing, fucking geocities webpages.

    DOTA 2

    iG is a bulldozer, but other chinese teams aren't that impressive(inluding LGD.int which has played pretty poorly in G1). Other than china, Orange and Zenith can cause a lot of trouble in tournaments though, Zenith especially is unpredictable as fuck, they sometimes play godly, they sometimes...

    Dark Souls 2

    I very much liked that they showed Dual Wield actually working in the first 20secs or so of the gameplay thing. Game looks insanely detailed and beautiful but I guess it kinda strays furhter and further away from Demon's Souls style, where everything was a grim cold dark place. Dark Souls added...

    But you can. I don't think you understand how the spell is going to work. It's a totem. You cast it, then the totem cast searing bond on you. It's not a spell you cast on your totem. It's like Decoy Totem or Rejuvenation Totem, you summon the totem and it casts searing bond on you until it dies...

    Path of Exile

    Basic attack does nothing. You do no damage directly, which means attacks, spells, basic attacks, none of these do dmg. What does dmg is summon-type dmg, such as totems(duh), mines, traps and minions(zombie, skeleton, spectres, dominated mobs, converted mobs). You can also proc stuff, so for...

    Path of Exile

    Interesting but most likely worse. Spark totems cover the entire screen with sparks that hit basically in all and every directions, ice spear GMP totems have the massive freezing, this does dmg in a very small surface instead and require you to move around and line shit up correctly and what...

    Path of Exile

    The new totem looks fun but in terms of efficiency seems absolutely awful unless it does a billion dmg. It's fire, most likely small repeated hits(burning does jackshit), it has a very small area of effect, relies on you dropping a totem ahead of you which generally means the totem will die semi...

    DOTA 2

    Ogre has 2 issues, in terms of competitive power. First, his cast point is fairly shitty. That makes his stun, while having good range and no projectile, still not THAT good against heroes that have quick escapes(AM, Naix's rage, BKB in general, blink daggers, puck's orb etc). The second aspect...

    But instead of practicing, they'd just quit and go play another mmo where they don't have to get good.

    Path of Exile

    None of those melee stuff were OP. They still require melee range for the most part, which is still shittier than doing exactly the same thing on the edge of your screen using spark totems, lightning arrow or at least at twice the distance with freezing pulse(which also freeze obviously) or EK...

    More importantly I think, until devs add meaningful/interesting content while leveling, why would you not rush to max level where most/all of your actual long term character progression happen. When you design your game with a 3-4days /played to cap, you can't expect people who can actually play...

    DOTA 2

    If you're in a trilane or into a 5vs5 fight, but in a standard 2vs2 lane it's not that easy to get a full soul assumption count, and you also can't do jackshit but high dmg at that level. Also Juggernaut spin does more dmg, Soul Assumption at rank1 maxed soul is 20+3x65=215dmg, requiring 330dmg...

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    There's no benefit for doing every upgrade on the way, you get the listed stat(the ones you can see on the wiki for example) by upgrading to that level regardless of the previous state. The "exception" is if you want to dragon forge something, there's a higher % chance on higher upgraded items...

    CK+AA at lvl 2, stun, cold feet, rift back into cold feet for proc. Anything that can almost guarantee AA cold feet will generally result in a kill, I believe you can use dispersion too to force proc it at lvl 1 but not entirely sure and would be a weird lane kinda. Earthshaker fissure cross...

    And warlock. But they patched warlocks like really fast, think it was first live patch, cause I was still leveling when there was a bunch of patch notes that fixed a ton of bugs with the skills and tooltips of the talents and what not. Also important to note wow beta lasted a lot longer than...

    They added a really cool new unique, Tabula Rasa, it's a simple robe(no lvl req) without any stats, not even ES, but it always has 6links and the sockets are white(can accept any color). It's going to be inferior to basically any real 6L, but I find the tradeoff interesting if you don't have a...

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah basically, which would require some work and shit. Daggers tbh could have been fixed with a DLC adding 3-4 new daggers that would just be variations of existing daggers and other effects(like life leech) and it'd be just fine. For bows I think they should take a look at Dragon's Dogma...

    Dark Souls 2

    I didn't list everything because for the most part, playing with axes, swords or maces is the same thing. Spears are slightly different since you can use them with a shield combo, but other than that and small differences in the combat moves, they play fairly similar and are interchangeable, you...

    Dark Souls 2

    You just listed a bunch of swords. Having many types of swords doesn't make it that interesting. You also said shield wasn't necessary if using a 2H, which I completely agree with, but the point was that shield was way superior to dual wielding, not that shield was necessary. I probably...

    Armor is cosmetics and your "class" choice is simply your starting armor and weapon, so that's cosmetics too and well your starting weapon I guess isn't but since it's a trash weapon it doesn't matter.

    Yeah I assume it'll apply effects, otherwise it makes little sense to disable viper strike, unless it specifically was working with viper strike due to different mechanics so they had to disable it but don't think that's the case. No dev has commented on this specifically however, so not 100%...

    They're probably autoequipped in a different loadout. It's a retarded system, just check your other loadouts and make sure you don't have them equipped.

    Chaos should be used on maps and pretty much nothing else. If you happen to find a 6L of a good base type, chaos rolling it can be worth it, sometimes, but generally even that is meh vs alting then regaling+exalting. In general you shouldn't bother rolling gear for upgrades and just trade...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I wonder if they're going to move away from their plans, it seems weird that P3 is "later this summer" when there's currently pretty much nothing to test until then, that's quite a few months with not much. Don't know if it's PS3 stuff holding them or just content, but if it's PS3 it might make...

    Yeah I discussed that when I was replaying Dark Souls, there was very little variety in viable weapons. I made a dagger only char and you had so little choice, and even the choice you had was terrible, you needed to wait until you killed the lady in the painting to get the "ultimate" dagger...

    This would be a really good idea actually. That's why I personally don't mind when there's a lfg channel, because instead of sitting at the instance trying to group, I generally just read the messages while lvling, and if I see a group who's L1M of my class, that's when I'll go(minimum wait time...

    It didn't really take 9hours. I've done BRD full quests run including the retarded questline where you had to go outside to kill some event spawned mobs then back in with a semi static guild group and it took like 5-6hours. Granted that's still a very long time, but it was very fun, and BRD was...

    That argument isn't necessarily bad though, it is just not applicable to the current system where travelling is just a useless timesink and you have to do the travelling multiple times and shit. I think at the very least though you should travel once to the dungeon, assuming it has a physical...

    Maps difficulty is a bit random(mob types inside the map) as well as depending on the mods you roll on the map obviously. Sometimes they're hard, sometimes not. Most of the early maps are fairly easy though if you have a solid build with decent hp pool and good/maxed resists. The higher ones...

    Yeah even if just 2player coop with 1pawn each. Not that I care too much anyway. Was thinking a bit about it and since saves will carry over I might as well start a new char now, so I can get the annoying grinding out of the way and what not. Guess I'll start this weekend, need to do some...

    Just not sure if I'll play one of my old chars or start a new game, wonder if there will be anything new at all in the original game. Generally after such a long time I don't like playing old chars cause it feels weird not knowing where I left stuff and what I was doing when I stopped and what...

    Her fire form doesn't do that much dmg though, at least I tend to ignore it, chug a granite and keep DPSing, it's a good time to do so since she doesn't move around like crazy if she's on you. The only part I find scary in this fight is when she casts her teleport, but then walk into an ice form...

    Well first it's 120points, it really shouldn't be. Second, it has like no life. At all. If you crit on a reflect pack, you're dead. Well you're probably dead even with hp on a physical crit, but it's even worse. I'd look on the forums there's a good physical crit build I think somewhere, on the...
