Grubby playing Valeera on the PTR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbLVOIP5UhY Doesn't seem all too terrible. Edit: just lost a game because Junkrat didn't do enough damage. He doesn't seem to be good at anything outside wave clear and being annoying. lucifirius fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Nov 26, 2017 |

I never understood the point of Amani Rage until I took it into Guillotine. Is there any other reason you'd want to lose half your health for 10 armor? Zul'jin doesn't have enough health to gamble on the 10% damage decrease.

Attack speed increase, guillotine, and the level 1 talent that gives spell power.

Watching Grubby use it, it's on such a short cooldown and you get your health back anyway that you can spam it as a psuedo-Marksman active for a burst of attack speed. Good for PvE purposes and if you're confident in your positioning or are just poking at folks you can freely pop it to get some extra damage out/stack your passive a little faster.

Also bear in mind that it deducts half your current health, not your max health. If you're low enough health it might very well be worth sacrificing a comparatively tiny chunk in order to snag 10 armor, particularly if you're in a more organized game where you know you have a healer of some sort.

They're all five members of TempoStorm and it took them about 4-5 hours to get this. They could consistently hit about 4:45 or less, but that last few seconds were rough.

Toshimo posted:because people have fun in different ways you goon. This, and also the fact that a lot of us have fond memories of the RTS campaign modes that were a chunk of making Blizzard's name in the first place. Certainly not the only aspect of their fame, but one of them. To see that updated and translated into their crossover game in any way hits plenty of nostalgia and fun memory nerves I'm certain. Starcraft 2 is good, but that was our last real hit of Blizzard PVE in anything resembling this style. This brawl is a basic and fairly easy start, for sure. But it could be a first step to any number of things, and I find the idea of doing something like a Warcraft 3 mission together with a group of friends a great concept.

No Wave posted:Yes, nano's good on Artanis because Twin Blades is his primary source of damage anyways. I'm 99% sure spell damage doesn't affect twin blades because it's "makes two autoattacks" not "does an enhanced autoattack for XYZ" like Ragnaros' empower. The cooldown thing makes sense, though.

Yeah the idea there is that nanoboosted Twin Blades has basically no cooldown. Not only are you impossible to escape from, but you'll be making GBS threads out trait shields all day long.

lucifirius posted:Edit: just lost a game because Junkrat didn't do enough damage. He doesn't seem to be good at anything outside wave clear and being annoying. Junkrat doesn't have the raw damage output of AA heroes or burst of mages, but he does his damage from an extremely safe range. Once he gets Endless Nades at 16, his damage becomes competitive in teamfights. Until then, even a competent Junkrat demands that the rest of his team play a little differently; they need to wait for Junkrat to either get poke value or get a pick setup with his mine and/or trap. It's a bit like playing with Azmodan, in that you're basically a man down in every teamfight, and then suddenly a good dunk or an enemy leaving to answer siege will create the opening you need. Junkrat is probably strongest on Volskaya, Towers of Doom, Cursed Hollow, and Braxis, because it's easiest to get value from that "poke until pick" style on point control maps.

That's been the generally accepted build I've seen unless it's a situation where you won't get your E stacks reliably, depending on the map etc. The self-heal on E is great, getting the additional 20% slow makes it easier to build your stacks + self-heal for more so, yeah, it's pretty good most of the time. If people are giving you poo poo for your build mute them or tell them to gently caress off and mind their own poo poo.

I can kind of understand the reasoning. Until you complete the fireball quest you're not really getting anything particularly useful out of that talent and it takes longer to complete than it looks like at first glance, so I imagine a lot of people who pick that talent spend more time chasing enemies to try and farm stacks than they do other stuff that might not lead them into as many dangerous situations. Dragon form is super nice but honestly once you hit 10 being able to alternate between your Heroic and Dragonform as the need arises means you always have a heroic-tier ability on hand when you need one so idk how necessary the CDR talent really is. So far my preferred Alex build is: Level 1: Live and Let Live Level 4: Heat Exhaustion Level 7: Lifeblossom Level 10: Cleansing Flame Level 13: Pacify Level 16: All of these seem pretty decent and I haven't really picked a favorite yet Level 20: Ancient Flame (though Blessing of the Red is fun as well)

Speaking of Alex, I ran into a Cho'gall/Alex combo in QM and it was just a slaughter. There's not a whole lot your average QM team can do to Cho to make him not stand wherever the hell he wants, and percentage healing on him is simply ridiculous.

Yeah that's a fair point, if you're running two supports then you probably have a lot more freedom to go for it unless your other support wants to do some kind of DPS build themselves.

It just doesn't seem like the heal build does much more healing, for me anyway. Getting X extra dragon forms per match seems more valuable heal-wise than having your Q charge twice as fast. I'd say generally Q is like, anti-poke and E is team fight/objective.

The real synergy is taking the 1 and 7 talents together because as long as you can stay healthy and snag the flowers that pop up you can basically hand out burst heals like crazy without having to worry about sacrificing your own health. I wouldn't take Live and Let Live unless I was also going for Lifeblossom, no, but together you really can just output a tremendous amount of healing.
