    DOTA 2

    Well from the various leaked shit/teaser/whatever, it seems 3 heroes? Xin, Earth panda and LC or so. Plus something else I guess since they're saying bla bla bla we're excited. Maybe that shit from SC2 where you can play the replays? Or maybe some new gamemodes, or support for modding? They...

    Heroes of the Storm

    It is one of the iconic dota heroes so yeah it makes sense. Also I believe that's the Butcher from Diablo? In D3 they gave him a hook so makes sense they're using it here too. We'll see what they do with the game, it seems they went multiple maps with variations(in one map kerrigan jumps down...

    Expensive is relative, Searing Touch wasn't worth much before but people have started buying it more and more and Kripp is playing a build which has a Searing Touch as its main weapon(endurance discharge) so the prices are up. Also fucking pillar of god splitting the chance of getting a searing...

    And as I said, neither is necessary. And Sunblast is like 7-10chaos, not an exalt, at least on Nemesis. Searing Touch is really nice for leveling though, but a shitty dagger/wand with +1fire and 30%spell damage does the job just fine, Fire Trap is strong as fuck.

    Path of Exile

    Well a really strong build that doesn't require much gear atm is Traps. You can use a Sunblast Belt to make traps quite a lot stronger, and a Searing Touch for fire traps, but neither is necessary(and you can replace Searing Touch with a +2fire +30-40% spell dmg wand/dagger and be fine too and...

    Grim Dawn

    TQ had some pretty cool classes. Loved Dream/Necro or Dream/Warfare. Overall loved Dream. Also liked Occult from the mod Underworld or whatever the name was, that huge super mod that remade everything including the shitty class. I actually played it only recently, for some reason when I heard...

    I don't think it's frustrating? First playthrough is just, pick whatever, fuck around, get raped by act3 probably, restart and do it better, look up some stuff, use spare gear you stashed, maybe get to cruel act3 then wipe again, rinse repeat. If you put more effort right away you can generally...

    They posted the actual numbers for the 1.0 unique chance orb change, seems Soultaker is not on that list so I guess you can chance it off anything, weird that I haven't seen one. I guess that unique challenge is quite a ton harder than it looked like with 3 items(I think all 3 are on the...

    Well they made some more rare and some more common. You drop a ton more uniques now too especially with the boss loot change, but the good ones(or well the ones they decided to make rare) are fairly hard to find.

    Path of Exile

    There's also a massive chance you can't chance Soul Taker anymore, at least using a non map white(might be ilvl restricted, basically need 71+), a change they added in 1.0. Your chances of getting a Soul Taker are probably 0 unless you're mapping. Could buy one but on the old leagues at least...

    That looks good, however crit EK seems like something you wouldn't want to run on HC. Then again he runs AA and also no chain or fork, so the damage should be controllable a bit, still risky though. Guy playing looked kinda bad I don't know, progressed slowly and apparently has vision issues...

    RT is good because missing is an issue if you're not a high dex build. If you have high dex(basically if you go toward the right side of the tree to get duellist/ranger/shadow shit), your hit rate is solid without any modifications so it's not necessary, but is still good as hit rate is capped...

    Meh it's a bit of a mixed thing, on one hand if you watch a video/read a guide, you'll spoil the fight quite a lot. On the other, the fight has one mechanic that is fairly unforgiving and not very obvious. You can TP out though, so you could read up on it once you get there. Stats you should aim...

    It's a TAD too early to call games that haven't been released turds, unless good graphics > turd in your world in which case you are probably right. If you judge a game by its graphic quality then by all means, 6 and 7 are both turds too as they were extremely good looking in their times...

    Corrupted Blood stacks when you attack the mob, so even if it's not hitting you, you can easily get 20stacks by attacking it with high speed. Starting Cruel on nemesis you always want a flask of staunching(remove bleeding) so you can remove it when needed. Otherwise Blind is 75%miss, so yeah it...

    You can kite Dominus too, just need to bring the TP scrolls. My Cruel dominus kill on my summoner was ugly as fuck. I think I burned 15TPs. First 2phases went as expected, the initial mobs wiped all my zombies and spectres 10secs into the fight(that's +1 zombies with minion resist, minion...

    Well usually people get discouraged in act1 cause it's fairly bland, if you made it to act3 and still don't like the game I would assume it's simply not the game for you. I do find the char building fun, searching for ideas and seeing how they work out, plus everytime you reroll you're better...

    Yeah dusts are a ton cheaper, and it goes pretty fast too, you just spread them it covers like 4x6 blocks or so, then you dig it easily. Dynamite is faster but it costs a lot and if you mess up the placement you have to reuse one and shit, I didn't bother. Dusts are the "normal" way to progress...

    On the wiki there's a walkthrough. Now it has detailed guides and shit for bosses which you don't have to read, however it outlines the general progression. Here's a summary: There's a bunch of optional stuff you can do, and it takes quite a long time to do all that.

    People take Iron Reflexes because it's a safe way to build decently without much input and because it used to be the only way to really build. With that said I think it's now the worse of the 2 paths. They also take it because they want Unwavering Stance, and if you get US then why not take IR...

    DOTA 2

    Well technically teleport to clone isn't new, Morphling has been doing that for a long time. Xin isn't that recent, I mean it's "only" 6patches, but that's over 1year and a half in dota time, so it was definitely before Zed which I don't know and I was still playing LoL back then. Anyway fairly...

    DOTA 2

    Well Xin was added WAY after guinsoo left, it's a pure Icefrog hero, like everything for the past 5-6years or whatever(I mean pure icefrog as in him and his buddies plus whatever suggestion from players they use). So here I don't think it's really that thing. There are also some stuff that is...

    Yeah don't know about the amulet, I assume they discontinued it cause it was OP with the new trigger and not a player made unique? Not sure. Anyway to answer the question a bit before, I play a lot every day, but I don't really care much about grouping in these type of games so I solo. I've...

    There's probably quite a few voll on domination, you could replace it with a power charge on crit support, but putting it in your main skill would nerf your damage by quite a bit and probably require a 5L. For the build you kinda need Voll or Blood Dance, preferably both. As for 5L and 6L...

    DOTA 2

    I don't think anyone knows their potential in pro, they were added to -CM after dota1 had pretty much died already. All I know is Xin(ember spirit) was OP as fuck for many versions and was nerfed consecutively like 3 or 4 updates in a row. New heroes always nice anyway. If they really are triple...

    There were some pictures taken from the dota2 website too(hidden files that is) that showed Ember Spirit skills/portrait and Earth Spirit skills/portrait. It seems they've been working on both those at the same time, maybe for a double release. LC looks fairly unfinished on that pic so don't...

    Ah yeah I see now, it's been a long time since I played for some reason I remembered blind as an accuracy modifier, not a miss chance modifier, so to me IR+blind would have done nothing but after checking the mechanics yeah it works and makes a lot of sense to go that way. Might actually change...

    At low level, unless your weapons are insanely good or your attackspeed very slow, mana leech doesn't do a whole lot. It scales great in mid to late game, but sucks dick early game, you're generally better off using a +mana +mana regen% ring early on because it'll give similar regen while...

    Bit weird that you don't get Unwavering stance with Iron reflexes, but I guess you have 30% to avoid stuns so might not be that bad. Anyway I'd definitely look into respecing at least one thing, the 3x3% speed node in the ranger area, this one is awful. Link with 10dex instead, gives you 2points...

    They have servers everywhere, and yeah they've been having server issues. There's also the shitty routing issue with certain ISP and stuff that's unrelated but that doesn't explain everything, like their servers have been crashing quite a lot(and you can tell cause you get rollbacked a few...

    I bought the game a while back while I was bored. It's definitely pretty fun, but it's not a big budget game(like if I had to compare, animations and shit are similar to PoE, not D3).

    Well if you play HC/Nemesis, when you die your char is moved to Standard, most ppl who play there tend to stop playing that char at that point and reroll, but you can just keep playing standard.

    Well you don't really single target anything but bosses, and bosses are alone(once everything else has been aoed down) so they're easy to target. Rest of the time melee builds use a combination of multistrike, melee splash or just basic aoes, so there isn't really any targetting to be done. The...
