The website is currently hugging huge amounts of cpu for me. Probably something to do with the video ads. It didn't before the update.

I can barely use your website now without my pc threatening to explode. A real shame, because I really like using this website as my default hearthstone news broadcaster.

Probably going to be for warlock. Or mage, because its almost always mage

Is this confirmed? Because at the moment, I think naga builds aren't all that attractive.

The passives they gain seem to be bugged, without which they are just bang on average, maybe even worst than murlocs or pirates.

In this day and age where game choice are plentiful, and MMOs scattered everywhere, I really can't see where a subscription + upfront fee model would work. But of course, we're talking about WoW, which practically popularize MMOs so its always going sell even if its shit, as we have seen with diablo immortal.

But on first glance, it …

Guys, I'm so salty right now. I am only missing 3 Mercenaries (all legendaries, of course), so I decided to open up my 53 saved packs. Want to know what I got? TWO portraits for legendaries I already had (I do NOT care about cosmetics), a bunch of portraits for rares and epics, TONS of …

Has anyone else noticed that AI characters NEVER make attacks that will kill them unless they have no other option, UNLESS you are working on a task where you need to kill them with a specific ability, then they gleefully commit suicide at every opportunity to deny you your task progress?

I …

Unless the gameplay is overhauled, Im not optimistic that it would be.

PvE is too much about efficiency. Play fire comp and destroy everything, and when that's not good enough then move to holy, or nature bros. Stuff like beasts, nagas, pirates, old gods, all these aren't bad themselves against the creeps and then the boss or dopplegangsters completely …

Its still going to be a matter of opportunity cost. Running a 7 mana card that doesn't win you the game is usually a tense decision, and warrior having been nerfed to this extent makes me pessimistic about its chances.

If I look back at the times Nellie doesn't give me a 1 mana Smite (which thanks to my …

There's still some good ones like [card]stonemaul anchorman[/card] or [card]southsea scoundrel[/card] on the top end that are actually good cards, more so if they cost only 1. I think team5 changed it into reduce cost by 1 because smite, costing 7 or not, is still going to lop games sideways because of the three 1 cost pirates. Besides, having it …

It reads refresh, which means whatever the hell druid is doing they will likely still be able to do it. The only thing they cant do is cheat out their ramp or win cons. And I call that a 100% positive result.

Also, [card]lightning bloom[/card] got a free pass for 2 years before completely cleared out from standard. The …

Okay, so the balance patch dropped and I got shocked, because I wasn't expecting such extensive changes. In fact, the change is so drastic its almost suggesting that the previous meta was wildly problematic, when in my opinion it wasn't.

Everyone was expecting warrior to get hit, but to get hit this hard? Ouch. I guess we're back to …

[card]Lightning bloom[/card] really needs a hit and fast. Like seriously, Ive seen asking for this since scholomance turned out, because all it does is create non-games.

As the power level in hearthstone increases year by year, flexible mana cheats like this one deserves a nuke, nothing less.

Haven't beaten this Task yet, but here's what I noticed: the dudes are just pre-existing Mercs with new names and art? I think one is Diablo, one is Cairne, Sylvanas, Blink Fox, Vol'Jin and maybe Cariel? Did anyone else notice the same thing?

task 9?

Yeah, those are just reskinned mercs, for …

Interesting to see that what they've done is essentially duplicate noz's quest multiple times, suggesting that its possible that they think at some point they'll need to remove it, rather than add into the queue for regulars (assuming there's such a thing)

I dont expect pitchforks be raised over such a trivial thing but it does points out how …

Quote From HuntardHuntard

Honestly, I went from 119 to dumpster legend. I am going to try again next month, but with a less cute deck. I will try Pillager Rogue now since I don't think I can get back to where I was without a serious time investment. 

I honestly have not considered that is what makes …

Yup, can confirm. Ive completed task 9.

Unfortunately, I had the pleasure of wasting 45 min only to find out that the task is bugged. And it was no easy feat climbing trying to keep the pirates alive until the end.

After reading through reddit its confirmed that there's no workaround. Some crazed guy tried only 5 mercs (all pirates), all 6 pirates, no death run, …

Theres one very weird bug with the passives granted to nagas in mercs. Its supposed to grant all nagas +3 speed and reduce damage by 3, but what it does instead is to grant one merc this passive and then it jumps to another merc each turn.

Really makes the naga build unviable in pve, simply because its just …

This is perhaps the first and only time I feel the miniset wrecked a better meta. But I still like it more than the quest meta. Let's hope the next expansion doesn't screw it all up like they always seem to do.

In any case currently [card]tidal revenant[/card] is doing wonders less because of its own merits but because …

I think I happen on a bug for Yshaarj's task 5, the one where you need to finish Ursula Windfury without her attacking once.

Apparently if you finish up any fight then this one is completed automatically. Its obviously a bug. I think the trigger is if you finish off a fight without any of them attacking then this …
