People who spend the entire match ensuring that the timer runs down as slowly as possible are scum. I hope their loved ones are in a car accident.

Yeah, though Jaina was obnoxious and took forever to build up a big enough board to actually get some damage in. Think she was still at full HP until turn 11 or so, for reference.

I struggled against Mannoroth.

Against Jaina it took a while to build up an actual board and then in the final fight against Garrosh he just ran out of steam.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
I went for the big golden bundle and have a shitload of dust burning a hole in my pocket but I'm telling myself I really shouldn't craft anything until the mini-set comes out. I opened almost everything I need for Rush Warrior though so I'm kind of tempted to give it a shot. What's the best list going around? I see some with ETC some without.

Yes ETC is in the best list but is replaceable. Current list runs Tent Thrashers instead of Shield of Honors so if you don't have ETC you can just add one of those:

Say what you will about the amount of RNG in this children's card game, but a Hanar-generated Shenanigans turning a Primal Protector drawn (what I assume was) Survival of the Fittest into a Banana and summoning that 1/1 imp is my new favourite moment. :discourse:

Sometimes I don't know why I play other classes than Rogue.

Ugh, minor Duels gripe:

If you have picked the "Can't be Overloaded' Shaman power, the game should never loving offer a Passive that relies on being Overloaded. Especially since I'm guessing that Passive is weighted towards decks that have a lot of Overload cards. You know, the exact same kind of cards you want in a Can't be Overloaded deck.

Leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet!
I have a daily quest to watch a friend win in Spectator mode. However I don't have any friends that play Hearthstone. So my bnet tag is Dunxco#2125 - if some folks could hit me up with a friend request so I can spectate and get the daily done I'd be deeply appreciative. I promise not to be a creepy stalker (I probably won't even contact you beyond the odd watching a match for when the daily comes up).

Man this shaman book of heroes really makes me disappointed with what became of shaman in standard.

It could be really cool to get to a mixture of fire/earth/water/wind elementals and spells. Fire could damage the entire board. Earth could be Frenzy cards. Water could be board heals. Wind could be spell burst. Could have been a really fun mixture of elements to become more aggressive to more controlling.

They played up the Mercenaries mode so much at the virtual blizzcon, but haven't really delivered at all. When Thrall just hit I thought it would be in that mode, but nope! Just another lackluster hero theme of games. Jaina is the only one that stalled me once, but overall it was definitely one of the easier book of heroes runs.

Those aren't the Mercenaries mode. The Book of Heroes stuff is entirely separate.

Back in January they said they wouldn't be releasing another new class for at least two years. Which is probably just as well based on how DH went.

To keep in tune with the Monk over in WoW, they start each expansion cycle doing fairly well, and then the rest of the year is them getting more and more outclassed. :v:

It is hilarious that Blizzard is trying to get people to pay :10bux: in real American dollars for five packs of Shaman cards. Right now. When Shaman has no competitive decks because it doesn't have enough good cards. I get that it's tied to the Thrall BoH solo content, but I can't imagine the person who would buy this.

I was more referencing how Windwalker has had a tendency of doing fairly well early in an expansion’s cycle, but as gear (and stats) improves from newer raids, the other classes start scaling up far better than WW does.

If Neferian gets any of its good draws (eg that 7/7 that makes all your cards costs 3 less) it's almost impossible for Rag to survive. If Neferian isn't able to pressure Rags life total then Rag turns into the favourite once the mana has ramped up and the new hero power comes online. I'd say its actually a pretty even contest in terms of win percentage although plenty of games end in blow outs due to the wild imbalance in power level of some of the cards - drawing the best cards for either hero can just immediately break the match.

Yeah, I was having similar feelings. Shaman just seems to always either be sub-par or randomly overpowered due to some brief gimmick that has nothing to do with its class identity. I would really love it if they could make something cool out of the whole elemental concept. Without it just ending up all going to Mage instead.

Mini-set card reveal starts tomorrow. https://youtu.be/iOwV2yzqEL4

Looks like we are getting some druid of fang, some beast, and a legendary murloc by the looks of the video.

Hopefully they don't do something stupid and make the murloc a shaman card and have it "corrupt" your board.
