Magni posted:It got crossed out of the big one. After the dwarfs drove the High Elfs into the sea, the dwarven high king of the time lopped the Phoenix King's head off and them taking the Phoenix Kings' crown jewels as collateral - to be only given back once the High Elfs would openly apologise and beg for 'em. Needless to say, well over 2 millenia later those jewels are still in the high kings' vault because beating some humility into elves is a forlorn hope. I remember a story I read, I think it was one of the ones you could find in Warhammer Online, involving some high ranking dwarf bringing an elven noble a barrel of Bugman's, and the elf brings the dwarf a barrel of the finest, most ancient wine his people have to offer, a beverage where a single glass would cost a human an entire lifetime's worth of their salary. They were trading the very best their two races had to offer. The dwarf went first, and when the elf offered him a glass, the dwarf laughed him, drew his axe, stoved in the top of the barrel, hefted it and chugged the motherfucker in one go, getting the wine all up in his beard and spilling it on the floor, and afterwards he just wiped his mouth and told the elf it wasn't half bad. The elf was horrified but kept it under wraps, until he took just a sip of Bugman's and couldn't handle it. Wish I could remember the whole thing accurately cause it was loving funny.

apostateCourier posted:+Revive speed is great, at least. It's great, being able to pick people up between rat swings. Yeah, I've got one each with +revive speed and being immune to interruption during reviving. It comes in pretty handy if a guy is just seconds away from bleeding out entirely.

I saved a Wheat & Chaff run with it; I spawned into already getting beaten by a swarm at low health and two downed characters nearby. I managed to revive them both between shield pushes because it takes barely two seconds to rez someone with that trinket. I spent the rest of the game doing that and tossing bags like some sort of hairy little strongman.

My first trinket. It's blue. That's gonna be a good one right? Level 30.9 and I finally get a trinket. Oh man. oh man what could it be. Can't be interrupted while using healing supplies.

I find myself wishing that getting hit didn't interrupt healing like in L4D so i wish I had that trinket instead of a second worthless blue fish with a 15% chance not to consume healing items

So I just got done doing a Hard two grimore Horn of Magnus with some insufferable pubbies, who refused to actually do the event correct. So I just jumped over and solo'd the entire event myself. Too bad that despite them all hiding in the ammo room, they still managed to die and lose a grimoire right at the end of the level after the floor caved in. I'm fairly certain I destroyed them on every possible metric.

For useless trinkets, someone last night mentioned the trinket that there's one that reduces damage you take from Packrats.

I've been killed by Packrats several times when pubbies couldn't push their way through the horde fast enough to get to me before I died. I've got a free slot so I wouldn't really complain about that trinket.

Most of the damage I take comes from a pack rat appearing out of nowhere and hitting my rear end. Specials and rat ogres, on hard at least, rarely do any damage.

But I thought pack rats did barely any damage. Usually I lose health from a pack rat because there are 2-6 other rats that crowd around hitting me while I get dragged.

Drakes posted:I have no idea what you're talking about, that thing seems amazing. I feel clearing trash with something like that is handy on higher difficulties where everything is drat threatening. Because when I'm playing soldier everyone else on the team can trash clear but I'm the only one who can precision snipe specials before they become a real threat. Even when my dwarf buddy has a handgun as well he can struggle to kill packmasters if they grab someone in a horde just because he can't shoot over the crowd. That said if they make packmasters a bit less dangerous by making them move slower when dragging, I'd totally consider that gun even as blunderbusses are right now. But this pretty much sums up my experience when I get dragged and nobody can shoot the rat and they try and catch up to melee it instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxIZJpATix8 Metrohunter fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Oct 31, 2015 |

It's so goddamn useful when it does actually happen to matter. Fast-revive dudes being beaten by ogres, fast revive dudes downed by assasins/clanrat mobbin's. So good.

I don't understand the point of pack rat resistance. Either way, dead or hanging, your team has to come save you. Are the extra few seconds really that critical?

They don't even do much damage by themselves. At least Gutter Runners on Nightmare shred you up in seconds, so their protective trinket can actually save you a decent amount of HP.

Please don't let the historic goon prejudice against anything slender and agile scare you off from playing an elf if you got a good bow and want to get a lot of headshots or head stabs. Similarly dont let the historic goon fetishization of anything short fat and stinky scare you off from playing a righteous and brave dwarf

 welcome to hell they're actually pretty decent contrary to the goon hivemind's opinion. basically all of the elf's ranged weapons are poo poo but they do delayed but pretty good damage to whatever you hit
