    I think I'd rather get a shitty golden legendary than Tyrion, cause at least it's an easy choice to disenchant it then, disenchanting Tyrion is rough since it's like the best class legendary. Oh for people who didn't see it on stream/reddit yesterday:

    DOTA 2

    Reddit sidebar has a wealth of actual good links. Reddit itself is pretty trash though, so are the official forums. There's ingame guides to the heroes so you can follow that to learn new heroes, for general stuff the tutorial explains quite a bit, as well as some of those links on reddit I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Na, AH going down is on the 18th. That sounds just fine for 2.0, let them get a week of testing on live servers to fix some potential issues from removing the AH/2.0 shit, then patch RoS. I don't see the point of patching before AH goes down. 40bucks for the expansion, that sounds alright.

    Pretty sure he does, and don't think Valve is itching to "add a new hero not limited by the WC3 engine" when it's been shown that the dota2 engine isn't really any better than the WC3 one other than obvious graphical stuff. The WC3 engine doesn't really have any limits other than max map size(so...

    He probably means 1-15 NDA which they lifted for a few players and "journalists" to stream.

    Inb4 loltards complaining about copying lol champions. That said not sure why you'd assume Wukong, I don't think he'd be riding a horse. which begs the question, which heroes rides a horse, none really, unless they made Terrorblade some sort of knight, or Pitlord. Hopefully it's just not a...

    Wish they'd talk about fixing, or fix the fucking bugs though. I lost 2 games I think it was yesterday to bugs, one to Argus only buffing one mob(took my chance and dropped it on one side since I knew in the middle would be bugged, chose wrong side and it buffed the mob on the otherside only)...

    Up and coming competitive game to look forward to?

    On this board alone, I'd say the populations might be similar, maybe more lurkers on LoL just because LoL has a fuckton more players overall. Not sure if they ever took their head out of their asses and added better client community thing in LoL but dota has a very easy to use guild system with...

    Hearthstone

    CoC might be well designed but it was extremely cheap considering what it does. Blizzard was somewhat underpriced too. Holy Nova which is the easiest one to compare to is a lot worse in almost every situations(only time I'd say it's better is when you have stuff that procs on heal and a lot of...

    Hearthstone

    Yep sometimes you can't do shit even with a good deck cause you get a bit unlucky or the other guy gets lucky and gets insane cards. I went 2/3 paladin too earlier, but the deck was shit, had 3 consecration so I thought I'd go further but pretty shit curve, lots of meh mobs and almost no paladin...

    Hearthstone

    Stampeding Kodo is actually a pretty good card, the stats are kinda so so but you can often squish something and sometimes it's something very good/very annoying, like an armorsmith/elvenwhatever hidden behind taunters or a high health shit like lightwell, moshurak taunter guy etc. Overall...

    Witcher 3

    I only managed to play like 2-3 hours in Witcher 1, finished I think it was the first act then got bored. Read up on the story a bit, it was right before Witcher 2 release. Played Witcher 2, didn't feel like I missed out on anything important and really liked the 2nd one. If you don't like it...

    That's why I fucking hate Warrior in arena, if you don't get some specific cards, it sucks like really bad. You can't just stack neutrals and expect to do well cause the hero power is shit for that playstyle, you need specific class cards. You can play without weapons but then you're gonna need...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Illusionist+Teleport with Wormhole, or just teleport really. Storm Armor with the rune that procs movespeed on getting hit is nice too. On disintegrate yeah it tends to be very good while leveling, not much changed there but once you can get either good damage so meteor one shots stuff or ApoC...

    Up and coming competitive game to look forward to?

    Well we'll need to wait and see, Hearthstone could have a competitive scene, kinda does even, and they have done nothing to help facilitate it or promote it. It's literally designed as anything but a competitive game. Maybe for HotS they'll actually put some focus on making it competitive...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Oh wow didn't notice this had been released, assumed it was a while since last time I checked release date it was like february next year, but apparently that's the US date and it released already over here. Might buy a DS with that and the Zelda then, finally.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Actually he mentionned Nagel Ring and I did find one while I was leveling and it still has MF, didn't remember that, so yeah they're keeping it but in very limited sources, the gem in helm, that ring, maybe another legendary or two, but that'll be it. I guess it's a slightly better position...

    Hearthstone

    Well the healing is the new aspect of it, Holy Light especially(some people already used Lay on Hands since the massive card draw is great lategame). And by new I mean, new in terms of being popular, since obviously people ran that before. But the healing helps getting you out of pyroblast range...

    Hearthstone

    Think it's more or less standard midgame/lategame paladin with heals. 2 consecrations, 2 equality, 1-2 truesilver, 1-2 holy light, 1 lay on hands, 2 guardian of kings, 2 hammer of wrath, Tyrion, 1 avenging wraths, ragnaros, sylvanas. Some decks run aldor peacekeepers, argent protectors, sword of...

    Hearthstone

    Venture co is almost a surefire way to lose against a paladin if you don't bait a bunch of shit first, Aldor peacekeeper or humility on it screws you completely since you now have a really shitty minion that prevents you from playing the rest of your shit. Mages can also be bad if you play it...

    Hearthstone

    In arena I tend to draft Darkscale Naga and sometimes the priestess too, they're not super cost efficient(especially the priestess) but the healing can definitely make a big difference. Far Seer is definitely better than most people think though, 3 for 3/3 isn't bad to start with, and 3heal is...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    On Soul Harvest, you have to remember that while 2% sucks with current values, the lvl 70values are pretty fucking big so it still adds a fuckton. Granted obviously not as much but it also makes the skill less mandatory this way, as otherwise the damage boost for a single skill was too big that...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    There used to be higher magic find/more chances to drop legendaries in higher difficulties in the previous RoS patch, but apparently they removed magic find as a stat entirely(I don't remember finding a single item with the stat, it's not tied to difficulty, the paragon magic find was replaced...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well the expansion has a new passive that generates absorb shield as you kill mobs and stacks so most builds use that to actually survive, and then it's a bit of whatever. There doesn't seem to be one dominant build(there was a legendary with explosive blast no cd on it that everyone used but it...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well same thing really, the gear is still fairly good gear for any build, and there aren't any specific wiz build since both the current ones are getting removed(Archon won't have duration increase anymore and CM is removed). Also the legendary belt that most wiz were using last RoS patch was...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Well expansion isn't for several months, and CM gear isn't too specific, it's just high crit and attackspeed, so it works with any build really. A lifesteal Skorn for an Archon build I think would be a lot more useless than most of the stuff you buy for CM. Regardless all your gear besides a...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah pretty much fire elemental over everything else. Hex is ok but the fact it can still taunt can really screw you up sometimes, still top tier though as far as shaman cards go. I think the only shaman cards I don't like are Alakir, Totemic Might and Frost Shock. Mixed feelings about a few...

    Tracking bug's been fixed since last patch last week, but this shit still randomly happens, or might be caused by something else similar. Also apparently losing before you even pick cards, but apparently those don't count.

    Well you press a key on every GCD, I call that spammy but definition of spammy can vary I guess, you don't spam the same key over and over(unless you're a barely functional human who can't tell spamming the combo point builder without ever using a finisher or cooldown based stuff is the most...

    Well I don't think I'll play the beta much, it's not my account for one and I don't really care much about playing it atm as it's gonna be just farming which is easy to burn out on for me. I played the class a bit and overall I like it quite a lot, more so than I liked Barb(but only played it on...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Oh that's interesting, I assumed they were the same as Barb and Monk and were getting the 30% too, but just checked and yeah, they're not getting it, so I guess it makes a huge difference and explains why the passives and shit look better. So I guess geared if you spec for it yeah barbs will...

    So I managed to lose 3games in a row at 7-0 with one of the best mage deck I've ever drafted, it had 2 mana wyrms, 1frostbolt, 1cone of cold, 2fireballs, 1pyro, 1flamestrike, 1sheep, 1 ALEXTRAZA then a bunch of neutral good cards like 2 shattered, 2 dark iron, 1 yeti, 1armorsmith guy(the 4/6)...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I have no idea, however barbs survivability is nerfed a ton in the expansion, since they removed lifesteal from everything, so unlike live barb where you use the rend lifesteal rune and can survive mp10 with shit gear, can't really quite do that. I think so far the big difference is you can...

    LC probably a while until she's in -cm, for whatever reason they don't seem to like adding stuff to -cm for a while, could say it's because of potential bugs but that doesn't prevent them from adding stuff even when it still has bugs left anyway. LC is definitely one of the most snowbally hero...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    On the spammy combat, it is spammy, CC breaking mechanics aside. Every class(shown on streams) starts with an ability that has no cooldown and no ressource cost but does lower damage than everything else you get, and in some cases also doubles as a ressource builder for the class. This ability...

    They said it's a bug and they'll fix it next patch or something, crafted amulets are 61 atm yeah. And yeah barbs not sure if they're very viable on PTR, they looked ok in RoS with the new avalanche skill but they're very different now, play more like old school barbs(well, less frenzy and more...

    I personally wouldn't say mages burn decks require no skill, they require a decent bit to know when you have to freeze and when you can take damage and shit(unless you have an obscene hand but that's similar for most decks really). What it is however is extremely unfun to play against. In MTG I...

    Been playing a Crusader on a friend's account since he got in the beta, gotta say the class is pretty fucking fun, it seems fairly awful at sustained damage unlike the other 2 melees, but you can burst shit down by popping a bunch of cooldowns at once, it's pretty cool to play. Also very tanky...

    Oh yeah I know that but like I have barely 400dusts atm, I might be able to disenchant everything I have golden as well as noz to maybe, MAYBE, craft sylvanas. I'd need to check how much I can get, but most of my golden cards are like commons and rares so they disenchant for shit anyway, and I'd...

    Can mouse wheel as mentionned, but it'll still be closed, it's something the genre always does, by forcing you to be fairly close it reinforces map awareness, good camera control and stuff. Especially in dota where abilities often have longer range than half your screen, so if you play with your...
