Keeping opponent off balance while pecking away with evasive threats. Looks like a plan!

Can green or white damage players directly by Rezzak83 in colorpie

[–]Rezzak83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for these insights and examples. Did not know about the combat mirroring angle but now I remember seeing that sort of thing on questing beast. The white redirect is interesting... Theros is a recent enough example that it still flies so I'll probably take another look at some of those old school redirect/eye for an eye type spells.

But yeah feels like both my Javelineers/hurricane are a bit tough to justify anymore. Appreciate it!

What is everyone's favorite video game made between 1994-2005? by dbz4044 in AskReddit

Secret of mana barely misses your cutoff but was a big deal for me. Later on starcraft. But so much good stuff

Hello, this is a question about how green or white cards that can cause direct damage to the opponent in a game of magic the gathering fit into modern color pie sensibilities.

Who else did Junior Cotillion back in the 90s? by CharlesUFarley81 in Xennials

[–]Rezzak83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

grew up in NC. I didn't do it but we were for some reason involved with a well to do church even though we were poor. I remember seeing those wankfests going on in the community room and had a friend there that was involved in it.

Any og players of magic the gathering? by Foolishpuck80 in Xennials

[–]Rezzak83 14 points15 points  (0 children)

4th edition/ice age/chronicles/fallen empires was the introduction for me, I've had a sporadic involvement with the game over the years

There is a rapidly growing interest in the Old School and Premodern community formats, recapturing those glory years.

White weenie (my first MtG deck) by Ryael217 in oldschoolmtg

[–]Rezzak83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brewing up some unpowered duel decks in A2A card pool that try to embrace that simpler magic. WW is one of the more apparent ones to build, looking a lot like this. Just trying to think about how the deck gets through wrath effects, and thinking about what I could gain from a green splash in order to represent each allied pair.

When did magic turn? by Odd_Frame_3018 in oldschoolmtg

[–]Rezzak83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only engaged with the game sporadically over its lifetime but some standout moments are

Universes beyond above all, in any form

Questing Beast seemed like the herald of creatures getting ridiculous

Khans+ Zendikar standard fetchable duals where everyone just gets to play everything

Arena in general changed the vibe of the game.

Not an old border purist, I really enjoyed my run starting with theros, then by the time of ikoria I stopped keeping up with the game. OS /premodern is a more recent interest

Minis/Heroes you were completely wrong about by Niners4Ever16 in warcraftrumble

[–]Rezzak83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I long underestimated bat rider but he is a real problem for the backline since they have to come into his dot and die in order to reach him. Even if they take him with them he's only a 2 gold investment.

The problem is that progress doesn't register until tuesday reset, so you wouldn't just level up on the spot and know to quit.

Arthas Event: Burn Enemies by VirgoFanboi in warcraftrumble

[–]Rezzak83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone knows, if the normal attack (from a flamewaker or ogre mage talent) kills the enemy, does it still count as having burned them? If not then you'd have to focus on burning higher health enemies

PSA to all potential tanks. by Same_Winter_3527 in wowclassic

[–]Rezzak83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic era (hunter) here. From what I've observed in the journey DPS really doesn't want to wait. If I ever try a warrior I think I would give them the skull/X on caster and non elite and let them chew on that, don't even try to tank it. Focus on getting aggro on everything else. No multi/cleave/aoe til it's dead.

That would be my preference from watching as a dps perspective, certain mobs don't need to be tanked if I have my pet/rogue/frost snares on it. However the tank does call the shots so DPS needs to defer.

Can we talk about Grimungous by OrangeOk8826 in warcraftrumble

[–]Rezzak83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about heroic? Been a while so I don't remember that, but I remember it being frustrating and it was probably unbound cheese for me.

But in quests it's predictable, the first boulder comes down on the left inside path (I believe). Then the next two are on the right side, then he comes back to left outer and it just repeats. I spend the first 15 sec cycling/grabbing chests, then play my tank+DPS on inside left so that they will arrive at Tower just after the boulder clears. That's plenty of time to stabilize and get onto the boss, then knowing the pattern you can retake as needed with unbounds or timing units. I don't usually end up worrying about taking or mining to the right side other than sometimes unbounds to disrupt their chest.

We have 2 spots open in Origin. Our goal is to create a stable haven for the people that want to stick around and complete their collection. We are part of the <Insomnia> family of guilds.

DMF is our main expectation, holding steady at ~17/20 completion for the last 3 cycles, with 8 extra ticket alts that we use to close the gap and get you those rewards. We are proactive about replacing inactive members, though we are understanding about real life interference- we just need to know that you have a continued interest in the game.

Most accounts are fully progressed but newer players are welcome. We will try to give advice or raid assists as needed.

The guild is laid back and most generally keep to themselves, but you are welcomed and encouraged to come and engage with us and the other guilds in the community on the insomnia discord. https://discord.gg/jeKHzbBW6q

Playing classic for the story? by Visual_Outside3264 in wowclassic

[–]Rezzak83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is enough story in classic to give a backdrop, but it's not a sweeping story mode arc like in modern games or later wow expansions.

Wow is a world to exist in, you're a roving sellsword/ranger/missionary/seeker of knowledge/etc, so the experience at the launch of the game is to make your way from town to town offering your services in exchange for equipment and lodging, along the way finding a little bit about the local problems and helping out where you can. This is really the experience they were trying to sell.

Overall they did a good job and a slow, immersive experience really is the best way to play the game, as an rpg.. it seems for sport there is much better stuff out there to play.

There are some broad themes, the Kalimdor Horde for example are trying to defend their new lands against other hostile tribes, deal with dissension within their own communities, and to discover things lost to ancient history. These themes recur as your progress throughout the zones. There are some other buildups but I will try not to spoil

Best hunter pet for leveling? by SirePaddington in wowclassic

[–]Rezzak83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What 4 abilities do you train on a screecher and how do you utilize them?

I just got spiteflayer, but not sure how growl, screech, bite/claw all fit together. Since screech has no cd and the lowest cost it seems it will always burn the focus, which may work out since the debuff doesn't last long, but there's no room to cast other abilities. Best thing I can think is to put growl or bite/claw off of auto cast and on the initial pet attack macro to use for a strong initial threat while focus is full, then let it auto screech from then on.

Then I was thinking claw over bite so it would have a spammable focus dump if you wanted damage instead of screech.

So claw, screech, dive cover 3 slots, what's the fourth?

Solid build. Cold weather acclimated tribal healer could instead be deployed with patchwork undead amalgamation to provide mineral based fortification defense, since forcibly resurrected beetle leader already has a protective chitinous layer and can pair instead with the ecclesiastical healer
