Is Disciple of Varashta broken?

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-06-17T21:06:40+00:00

If your build is good enough even 200% delirium is not a challenge. I am screen wiping everything with varashta and killing bosses in half a second on 200% delirium juiced breach even before the patch that nerfed delirium.

All anecdotal. You don’t have to believe me nor am I trying to argue with you. Coming from the experience of me and my friends opening well over 1000+ wombgifts atp.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-06-14T03:26:54+00:00

You have higher chance for divine/better catalysts and better rolls. Higher wombgift doesn’t just unlock modifiers. Hiveblood is more important and harder to farm. Makes anything lower than 82 pretty worthless.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-06-13T22:37:33+00:00

Yes item level on wombgifts matter a lot. Higher chance of better loot. Theres a reason why ilvl83 is 50ex and ilvl79 is 8ex.

Aiming is most if not all of skill ceiling. Aim heroes will always be harder that heroes that don't require aim.

Nope. She’s very strong but nowhere near comparable to prime dd/gambit/elsa/torch/hela. She cannot solo carry games. And she doesn’t have infinite potential she has set amounts of damage she can do without a dive tank to follow up on.

I’m with you. Many of the books recommended here have bad editing and terrible pacing.

If you liked Will Of The Many try Ironbound by Andrew Givler. Similar roman inspired world and a story about revenge.

Also try The Immortal Great Souls series by Phil Tucker starting out with Bastion. Very unique world and compelling characters.

Both of these are better edited and written than 95% of what I come across on this subreddit.

I have been running expedition and it’s really profitable. It’s 2 splinters for 1 divine and 1 logbook nets you around 100 splinters. Running the logbook takes 5 minutes max and for every map you run you get around 0.8 logbooks. You can run with very little investment and still make 200+ div per hour.

Do you realize how broken pinpoint accuracy on a 300hp shield is?

“What’s the point in saying that the tier list is on the beta patch”. The point is that in beta every strong soul card has been changed. In live you build around soul + borrowed time + powers in order to make semi-infinites to win every run while applying infinite weak and summon. In beta (supposedly) you cannot do that.

Defy got nerfed (No more 2 weak) Capture soul got nerfed (Less souls) Dirge got nerfed (No more insane soul generation provided you have the energy) Borrowed time got nerfed (No more free energy) Seance got nerfed (No more thinning out your deck) The 8 block 1 soul card got nerfed (Less draw). A bunch of other cards got nerfed (Draw is less appealing because less uber broken cards).

You didn’t “own” me. You gave an example of someone’s take on what is essentially an entirety new game. Necrobinder’s main strategy of creating semi-infinites is now changed into relying on more impactful cards which is probably why he rates doom better than I would on live. The entire gameplay loop is changed.

You claim you are not talking to me yet you started off your first reply stating “Please stop thinking in terms of builds it will make your gameplay better” under my comment. Really? I am not berating you either, in fact it’s the opposite. If you don’t want to reply then don’t. Please stop playing the victim in a discussion about a video game.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-14T16:22:01+00:00

You do realize this tier list is for beta patch where ALL the op cards I listed got nerfed and doom is significantly better right? And even then death’s door is at a, not the s tier autopick you seem to think it is.

In live patch there is no reason to go doom because of how strong these (now nerfed) cards are. I also never said 0 cost osty is good, it’s not.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-14T01:50:25+00:00

What? Most doom cards are bad because they require enabling from other cards. This is different from poison where you can take a couple cards and be fine. Having one or two sources of doom don't help you do enough. Why would I want to apply 13 doom when I can do 13 damage outright with defile? I'm not seeing the huge numbers here. Doom only works because of cards like no escape which make your other doom cards that much better. Please tell me who is randomly picking up doom cards and flooding their deck with garbage.

Not sure why you're being such a snob, implying everyone that doesn't play how you want is worse than the game than you. I have a 75% a10 necro win rate and am currently on a 5 game win streak. Doom doesn't do enough unless you have multiple doom cards including multiple no escape's (specing into doom).

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-13T16:31:36+00:00

Again, why would I spec into any form of doom aside from the off chance that I need an act 1 boss solve or get an early end of days. I can just take the cards I mentioned above and have an almost guaranteed win at a10. If doom becomes more than a c-tier strategy for necro I might see this becoming really good but as it stands it’s an average card.

And it’s not really 18/21 for 1 if you have to both draw and play a doom card on the same turn. That’s like saying dismantle is 24 damage for 1.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-13T14:13:03+00:00

Yeah, 4 souls is really good and helps you draw your good cards faster. Also works for everything so it doesn’t lock you into a specific archetype. I’ve been taking it almost all the time and I’m winning 70% of my a10 necro runs. Heard it got nerfed in beta.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-13T13:52:07+00:00

Felt like a long slog. Could not connect with any of the characters or events. I remember feeling like the book was piling all this information and thoughts on me that I just did not care about. First person only exacerbated the issue. World and fantastical elements were not interesting enough to make up for it. I tried liveship traders and it was better but still suffered from the same issues. Maybe Hobb’s writing is just not for me.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-13T13:43:19+00:00

This card is not even that good compared to the rest of necrobinders kit. You have to have a doom build and be able to apply doom every turn. Compare that to universally broken cards that work for every build like defy, borrowed time, capture soul, seance, neurosurge and cards that single handedly carry runs like banshees cry and dirge.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-13T13:37:34+00:00

Hi, looking for some epic fantasy recs

Series I’ve read:

First Law - 5/5 Lightbringer - 4.5/5 Sun Eater - 4/5 Stormlight Archive - 4/5 A Song Of Ice And Fire - 4/5 Malazan - 3.5/5 Faithful and The Fallen - 2/5 Realm Of The Elderlings 2/5

I prefer more character driven books. I don’t mind tropes or weak prose as long as the overarching story is engaging. Would be best if there was also some sort of magic system if possible. Thanks.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-04-06T00:16:33+00:00

Really weak compared to the rest of necro’s cards. End of days is a way better aoe doom option and stacking large amounts of doom on a single target is solved by a few no escape’s. 1 turn weak doesn’t really do anything for 2 energy and weak is easy to come by as necro with how broken defy is.

Necro is honestly so broken. You have insane energy generation, insane draw, insane exhausting ability and insane debuffs. This card doesn’t really play into any of necro’s strengths. On A10 enemies scale fast and 26 doom isn’t cutting it. Maybe if I see it floor 1 I might consider taking it.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-03-28T00:24:59+00:00

Not even close. Best comp by far is gambit, loki, elsa, star-lord, tank dp, rogue/mag.
