It looks fun and interesting. But it also seems like it has a very high propensity for nerf cries and by extension nerfing, so Im not rushing to get one. What do you guys think?
Tbh I think the best part about it is Grant: Death Nova. The rebirth stuff is nothing new for FW, but mechanically it's quite a bit more proactive than previous iterations. There's also been quite a bit more relic-hate with the recent expansions (e.g. Seism, buffs to Erode/Demolish, Detonate Relic, Relocate: Relic nerfs) so the Phylacteries aren't as safe as they might seem. That being said, it's a strong rune that also breaths some life into Eternal Lich's playability, so I'm fairly happy with it.
He definitely isn't that strong out the gates, could easily be one rounded before he gets a chance to spawn a Phylactery.
Phylacteries are a respawn mechanic though, right? Most of his U2 seems like a huge non-bo with that.
Creates a relic in the font eruption destruction zone. The grant death nova thing seems good for bile zombie, polluted martyr, broken bones, death gaurd, anyone that is about to die...
@Sokolov is it possible to make it so Eternal Life grants all other units with phylactery bound the same effect it gives for itself?
Thats what i thought too. FW doenst really have many reclaim candidates and assuming he's been designed to reclaim his own phylacterys that would require him to go back to nearest deployment zone reclaim it then come back. and also deny him the chance to respawn. and the other 2 things stack his HP but he'll come back and have his base again so that sucks
Dude, they just gave FW the ability to grant death nova and now you are suggesting they remove it, please go sit in the corner and think about what you just said.
grant nova is just great on any BG with summons, short-lived and cheap meat stuff, which is 80% FW, it indeed fit not his set, but the faction itself
yeah paying 4 expansion, and not geting the runes sux (iam not buying more than 3 ) YOu could trade your IS here: https://www.poxnora.com/trader/viewtrade.do?id=3783340&fb=0
I'm running vitality creation on the Gen Lich. Once you die and respawn in a phylactory, you will also get reclaim relic as an ability for free. Prolly a bug. Also another cool thing is that you can have 3 or 4 of these guys out if you reanimate and they are off cooldown.
That definitely sounds like a bug lol. I'm just running vitality because those bastards nerfed Long Fuse Bomb.
