I didn't really like Mogas, but I'm all in for giving Peaks a try ( could use some help in DoW anyway.) , so I thought Kanens could work, possibly. FF bonus seems great for them. I'm on my phone atm, so I can't add a bg, but it's quite a generic one, with more mongrels. What I mean to ask is, is a FF bg viable? Or is losing 1 def and quickening too much? feedback much appreciated!
I'd say losing Garin is the major thing (or Kierg if you're into that stuff). For the rest, losing some powerturn spells sucks but if you think you're gaining more by going FF go for it.
I'm just thinking that going FF gives me more of a cheapmeat bg, with more mongrels out, it might counter the lack of hero. Speaking of, any FF heroes that would fit in? Sceian?
Split is so much better, trust me. Kiergana or Garin is too much to lose off... They are allready cheap, don't need to be cheaper
I'm still not convinced though.. The bg I'm playing right now is doing fine - I don't miss quickening at all , alacrity and pack savagery are even better. Is Garin good enough to turn split? - Maybe split with UD for extra damage?
It's not about the spells itself. I use an split kanen bg, and the only SL things I use is Rage Bracers and the Banner (cause of Kiergana and her equip). It's about thinking, what do you lose making a split? A little nora refund? All kanen are allready pretty cheap, the expensives one you don't deploy every time (if you do, you are playing them wrong) the splits only offer you more rune options for spells, relics, equip; better bonuses for an allready cheap theme (dmg for UD; surviviness for SL) and a powerfull hero for help, that fit the theme. Garin is a joke, his AOE scythe whil is incredible powerfull, combined with CA, he is so annoyng to kill, that can easily win games; while Kiergana is a source of alt dgm type (since almost all kanen are physical) combined with a Pack Leader triggering from range + great dmg. See, the point is not about FF being bad, but splits are way better for offering things that change a lot to the playstyle. Like I said, the Heroes are extremely powerfull for kanen. Some UD and SL equips can be of great use (try a rage band in Bloodhowler Alpha, and see him destroy everything without losing not even half of his hp), and some relics too (mindslcer obelysk is amazing if you use Garin, since kanen is an essencial meele theme). Give it a try, if you want, I post my bg here, so you can see for yourself, the most runes I use is SP, with an 2 or 3 exceptions.
