2092, Diamond 99%. Wasn't this stuff supposed to be hidden after the patch though? Or did Dotabuff use the info from prepatch to rank people? Haven't played in over a month so don't care either way I literally heard about the "DBR drama" from the patch notes.

Damn, Piety killed me on cruel, lvl 50 dead Piety is complete bullshit as a summoner, like most of act3 really. Was taking some risks so I didn't have to fight for 30mins and she somehow bursted me down with an iceshot crit or something. Not a big deal but I had just bought a 17%quality...

Don't think so, you can look up their items on the website but not their specs iirc. They'd probably add that eventually, if at least being able to parse the calculator links ingame directly and shit like that.

You never look like the result of a pinball machine having sex with a neon light, but the endgame armor does look pretty cool, in a Dark Souls kind of way. Issue being, with ilvl and stuff, you can end up wearing much lower lvl armor than the high stuff because it has good stats/link and a high...

Na doesn't work that way cause if you could get 100%, it'd be 0secs in your system, when it's actually 3secs if you have 100%, Chris or someone explained it. Basically the % is a % of the speed of recovery, so 6/(1+x%). In your case, 3.75secs before it kicks in. Or at least I believe it's...

Well drops and stuff, you fill your HC stash with items so even if you die, next char has a bunch of stuff. Since chars aren't deleted anyway there's little reasons to start in softcore imo, at least if you have any plans of playing HC later.

Should have started it HC though, if you die it's fine you go SC, chars aren't deleted in this game but you can start amassing HC currency. And yeah you can do a melee variant of the summoner, I've thought about it for a while but the problem is you're more reliant on gear and you're also...

Well the great thing about how bullshit OP the mobs are in Act3, is that they make good spectres. Those LMP+Fork Fireball curtains mobs are fucking insane as spectres. Really like Act3 so far, it looks gorgeous, the story is actually pretty nice unlike the first act(2nd was getting a bit...

That looks pretty good, standard really. Lightning Strike was nerfed a bit though, you'll want to use another attack for single target, like Heavy Blow or Double Strike or something like that. But LS is still great for everything else, which is most of the game. Started clearing act3, god...

I understand that the opposite side of templar/marauder/duellist should get chaos resist since they have less health, but that doesn't explain why shadow has jackshit. Witch has better health nodes, you get a 3x8% node in the starting area, a few levels later that way you unlock a fitness node...

Ah seems like server meltdown now. The new chaos resist nodes are so fucking weird. First off, 3/4 of them are in the witch area, which is already weird. Including a 16% one that's very easy to get. I guess they thought of putting them there for "lower health" classes and that makes sense...

Guide is on page 7 near the end, lots of spoiler tags to make it less scary. I made a new thread but Draegan is probably sleeping, when he wakes up he'll try to merge this thread into the new one so nothing is lost but I get first post, I'll post the guide and I'll also try to keep a name list...

Yeah this seems standard cold build tbh. I'd take the Arcane Potency node over the one on the top, it has more crit multi and only slightly less crit%. Would take both eventually though. Also, drop these 6% cold in the templar, go through the bottom, costs only 1 str node vs 3 cold nodes, saves...

Discharge doesn't give charges. If you want power charges you need to use Power Siphon(the wand attack) or you need to wear the Unique chest Voll's Protector(which has shit ES and eats 50% of your max mana). So it's unlikely you'll have power charges unless you build for it. Technically you...

Meh sounds like a lot of wasted points to get conduit but I guess it could kinda work. Discharge with only one type of charges doesn't do that insane dmg though iirc. Stuff I'd consider is simply coordinating auras and curses to have good stuff, for example enfeeble+temporal to really make...

There's a few areas in the game that absolutely suck dicks as a summoner, even at higher levels. Firedogs that leave burning ground on death, goatmen leapslamming shit especially with added damage mods(blues or within a rare aura), suicide bomb mobs in the cave before merveil or in western...

Test thread for draegan to work his magic, etc. edit by draegan: next time don't title it the same exact name! edit 2 by draegan: Sorry Pyros it didn't work.

Melees tend to hit a hurdle in merciless, when mobs actually do good dmg. It's like super easy all the time, then you run into a haste aura rare with a large amount of stupid ability mobs like flicker mobs or charging rhoas or whatever. And then splat. Summoner can be boring. It's...

Updated my guide thingie on page 7. Asked Draegan if he could move the post but it's apparently not possible, he suggested making a new thread with the guide as first post and closing this one/linking it to the new one. Thoughts? And Sparko I can log in fine.

Yeah that sounds a bit harder to do but at the same time in a lot of my "off builds" I didn't even grab all the big +30 nodes I had access to anyway. Also it probably means you'll have to consider going through the middle more, that area is ripe with good passives and all stats, it's just rarely...

Minions nerf, kinda expected but wondering if they got it right. Probably still gonna go summoner first for safety to check act3 anyway. CI changes look interesting along with ES nodes buff, but that also comes with several ES items nerfs, so no idea if it'll be worth it at all or not. Better...

Well based on alpha, there's a ton of nerfs you can expect to some of the most OP builds. Some nerfs won't really change all that much besides making stuffmore in line, others kinda ruin the builds. Off the top of my head, the biggest changes are gonna be CI, which should still be the single...

They said they'll discuss the item shop stuff plans today, along with OB notes. I already bought a bunch of stash tabs from beta and also because I figured there's a solid chance this shit won't work at launch and it sucks when you run out of stash tabs(granted the base amount is good enough...

Yep Chris said so even in the post about OB, and yesterday on Reddit he was saying how he enjoyed playing the game of "watch as the website traffic doubles every couple of hours". The game wasn't very known a month ago but it seems the promotions they've been doing, the various reviews and the...

Probably gonna grab 2.0 myself, I think the last time I watched the original GITS it was on VHS, which scares me a little bit as to how fucking long ago that was. That's like when I had just started watching anime(other than the stuff on TV like db/dbz, saint seiya, city hunter, grendizer...

Yeah it's kinda alternative universes kind of shit. I don't remember most of it cause it was so many years ago but I liked the TV show, could probably just watch the 2 movies they made on the main arcs of each series though instead of the whole thing. Only order you need to follow is original...

They get low priority if they fuck around too much but sometimes players will just give up on one single game or have to go afk for irl reasons(real ones that is) and reporting them won't do anything cause well, it happened once in 500games, he's not gonna get banned for that. When you get...

I added a section on various keys combination shortcuts and what not.

Right but at the end of the day you're still using potential good rares to get something you can get out of blues. Doing one clear of Felshrine(from Chruch to the entrance, zigzaging a bit but not 100%) I'd usually get 2 bags full of blues when I was farming for alts. Just sell those and you get...

You can get a ton of transmutes just looting blues and selling them too, so there's no point in selling unids yellows when they could have godly stats. Also if they have 6 stats, they sell for something, I forgot what, chance maybe? It's in the link I provided. To be honest, I haven't sold a...

Open beta guide for new players, I'll try to keep each point short, but whole post is pretty long. What class to make? Doesn't matter. Like really, doesn't matter. Classes are only defined by their starting stats(which are VERY low so the difference is like NOTHING), their quest rewards...

What's interesting is how quickly the game is growing, now that the open beta is getting close and they've done a bit of promotion/reviews and stuff. Sadly it also means there's probably going to be server issues for open beta now. Otherwise I don't think it's that crazy to see some people...

Caliane, on spells: Firestorm is really good, mostly with concentrated effect which is THE support for any spell labelled as aoe really, because it's a multiplicative damage increase(it says more damage and not increased damage) vs the usual additive, so it almost doubles the dmg. Generally...

There's GITS Stand Alone Complex, which is a TV anime series. It's in 2 parts of 26episodes each, the second one is called 2nd Gig and then a single special TV movie "episode" called Solid State Society. That's it really, there's the mangas and stuff too but animation wise, only the first movie...

I disagree. I mean I see what you're saying, but if all your meepos are low health, that means the enemy team can nuke any of them equally without fucking up. If all your meepos are down, you can't just run away with the one that's low and keep fighting, you have to run all of them or keep...

Hopefully they just wanted to recenter the characters for the start of the new season so people who didn't watch understand that Mike is supposedly the "good" guy but yeah it was over the top, and god the fucking love story shit was also terrible. Liked Louis though.

Well, what else but Titan. It's announced as a casual mmo, he has experience with the RMAH in diablo which is a perfect experiment for a slightly different F2P model where instead of selling cosmetics, they take a cut on everything you sell ingame. Seems like a match made in heaven. Also seems...

That depends on people, some like to play every hero a few times, some focus on a few heroes, there's really no easy answer. Ultimately you'll need to do some research or check the heroes in practice against bots just to see exactly what they do, but I don't feel you need to play everything to...

Supports only work with the gem they're linked with. If you check sockets, you'll see some are linked, some aren't. You need to find an item that has sockets that are linked with the proper color(in this case, blue and blue for raise zombie + minion health). You can however temporarily use...

There's a ton of better Meepo players than n0tail, and yet he's rarely if ever picked. He's not a safe pick, sure if no one stops you, you can unleash his monstruous potential but it's not like you get there np. He also becomes a liability later in the game, he maxes out very quickly and once...
