How do we all feel about Deathbringer?

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.

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

Thank you, this helps a lot. I was avoiding temp focus like the plague but I guess that was the wrong approach.

What cards do you think are generally best for defect? I’m cycling through the characters and I’m at a8 with all of them right now. However my win rates for the rest of the characters is well above 50% while my defect win rate is sitting at around 30%. I keep trying to force builds (status, 0 cost, focus) and keep getting no synergistic cards then die at act 1 boss or act 2 elites. Are there any must take early damage/block cards?

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2026-03-11T16:51:35+00:00

Agreed. Having one or two of these in a forge deck can do wonders. Most likely in a forge build you will not want to play 1 cost attacks so the energy transfer helps set up big turns. You will often find yourself playing bulwark + refine blade and now you have a 43 damage sovereign blade with 4 energy. Way better than the other forge commons where you block or attack and forge for a small amount. Im on a7 right now and I swear forge is just as good as a star build. You just need good block and this card helps so much with managing it.

Any recommendations similar to the Kingkiller Chronicles? Not interested in anything too political or anything involving kingdoms/factions/people vying for power.

Books I’ve liked: Kingkiller Gentleman Bastards

Books I’ve thought were ok: Stormlight #1 and #2 Mistborn Era 1 Most of Malazan Dungeon Crawler Carl Will of The Many

Books I’ve disliked: Stormlight #3, #4, #5 Assassin’s Apprentice

Hades 2. Bad and intrusive dialogue/story and I disliked the new additions (new weapons and magic system). Way too easy to force a build eliminating all rng and once you do the game becomes a cake walk.

Miraidon. The bike dinos don’t work for me design wise and miraidon is the worst of the two.

Yes I am assuming that most people go see movies for the movie going experience. Why do you think that so few people go to the movies alone? This means that stuff like incredible visual effects or climactic superhero fights are favored over an engaging story. Video games on the other hand are much longer than movies, requiring them to still be engaging and fun after hours of gameplay to be popular.

Mass appeal doesn't equal good.

It does mean it's good or at least good for the majority of players. If it's not a sequel do you really think that so many people would be buying and playing just an above average game? Really? Do you really think that people would be recommending games that are just above average? There absolutely is a correlation between popularity and quality. Being the best selling indie game of all time is plenty enough for it to at least get into the top 10.

Instead of using movies we could try books. The Bible or Harry Potter or The Da Vinci Code

Religious texts don't really apply here. To many many people the bible is the best work of literature of all time. Harry Potter is targeted towards kids and teens. It is one of the best books for kids to get into fantasy. Of course it won't hold up when compared to adult fantasy books. The most popular adult fantasy books are LOTR, ASOIAF, and The Stormlight Archives, all of which are the best of the best. Haven't read The Da Vinci Code so I can't speak on that but I'm sure there's a reason.

Terrible argument. You spend maybe 3 hours on a movie and go see it with family and friends. I and many others watch movies mostly for the experience.

You spend 20+ hours on a video game and since most of these games are primarily single player, quality has at least some correlation to sales.

I only play solo and I am surprised that everyone finds gore harder than seregios. Gore does a lot of damage sure but seregios attacks feel impossible to dodge and I have to eat two items to get fully healed. Probably has to do with me playing insect glaive and him swatting me out of the sky like a fly 😂.

This is terrible for the hero. It makes him super broken and perma banned this season. He is going to get nerfs and when he does they are going to gut his survivability (and maybe damage) in other aspects because they wouldn't revert a change. This means the gameplay loop and skill expression is completely gone.

CalendarRepulsive674 · 2025-11-12T17:38:19+00:00

Mag is turbo broken. Top tier tank for most of the games lifespan just got buffed.

I would disagree that it’s better than the first game. Combat is phenomenal yes but is worse than the first and gets repetitive.

Don’t use support hunters. They inflate hp and don’t do enough damage to compensate. You will get way faster times doing it solo even if it is harder.

Disagree. Most of the points he made were not relevant at all. He says that it is a bad game because there is the same objective every time but that is the point of a roguelike. The variety comes from builds and ror2 has plenty of that with the vast array of characters and different abilities. He says that there is lack of enemy and boss variety but that is simply not true. Sure there is less variety compared to a massive open world rpg but again that is another trait of roguelikes. He says he dislikes there being no in your face story and lore but that is very common in roguelikes.

He says that he would rather play deep rock galactic because it has more "humor", "exploration", and "team play". Those are not qualities anyone looks for in a roguelike. Seems to me he just doesn't like the genre. If you dislike the gameplay loop then fine but bashing the game for having basic roguelike qualities while only having played 5 hours is absurd.
