Triggers Branded. Will also be handy setting up a Dwarf Pally deck instead of a Barb one. Geo is already a pretty decent unit on his own. He just gets a little love.
i like that our treasure hunter gets nerfed, he had just too much abilities to be left outside a BG. Must confess that i dont run so many of the other runes that was changed. But why change mead trap to an acid trap? cant really say i think dwarf/IS is acid based. aoe blind, tremor or fire would have been more fitting imo. Great patch notes, thanks for the info on all changes, now i just want in and test build new BG's
Mead Trap got changed because Intoxicate no longer debuffs enemies. Would have been completely useless. Personally I would like to see it turn into a Drunk support rune because the sprite is great for it.
Yeah i understand why it was changed, didnt like the way it was changed into. btw was dwarven beermaidens brew also changed? did always get annoyed when i noticed my enemies regen if i used her to give them brews instead of brewmasters brew. The sprite is awesome, "cause massive hangover"-spell, or a buff-spell (+#ap / +evasive for #rounds, to all intoxicated champs).
I was eyeing her too. Low speed makes her hard to use all the abilities but the longer CD on heal means she will have more for Drive now.
A lot of changes, kudos to Sok and the DOG team!!! That's what keeps this game fresh, changes. If everything was the same even more vets would lose interest. Still disappointed Paragon of Ailur hasn't been changed. If he can just be changed to a ranged champ it would be borderline usable. Even moreso would like to see his get his group hug (heal) back as an option. Please, a little love for Paragon!
SO boost was removed from angel of mercy but with no other skill replacing it? what do i want to use her for now no amp healing no boost no ???
Now that there is no point in intoxicating enemies, shouldnt they buff brewmaster and dwarven hooligan? One of the coolest things dwarven hooligan could do was make several enemies drunk at once.
