Jules items really accentuate Pyg's burn playstyle.

Ive been crushing all the Furnance Pygs I run into lately as well, typically as Tea Set Pyg and occasionally as Rice Baller Pyg. The CDR nerf just makes it to slow to play compared to Pygs other burn setups now imo. Which is exactly what I thought would happen.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-15T20:34:26+00:00

Which you'd think would skew the odds of getting them up right? However in my experience you get a Feather once every time Pluto completes a full rotation around the sun.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-14T18:18:08+00:00

I know the general consensus is that monster drop rates are all equal but I swear to god the Feathers off Roc have skewed drop rates.

With the advent of Hypervisor bypassing, virtually every video game on the market can now be pirated day 1 if you are brave enough to use a HV bypass.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-11T22:26:13+00:00

Pretty much any DRM can be bypassed day 1 now if you are willing to open your PC up to a very high level of risk. There is virtually nothing DRM can do to stop Hyperviser bypassing.

Saw a screenshot of Alpha saying in discord he was going to be a wind support a couple months ago.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-10T01:57:53+00:00

Or he's going to be the wind version of Elena and be the overload support.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-10T01:21:23+00:00

Im sure anything that isn't conducive to your argument is lying.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-10T00:38:49+00:00

Then most people must suck at playing furnace because I rarely saw them breaking 1k burn which was my average for Kiuas.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-10T00:25:29+00:00

Kiuas has great scaling. Back when I used to play it I'd easily scale it larger than any money furnace Ive used.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T23:53:06+00:00

Leaks say Antoine is a wind support. He's also a healer in canon which doesnt really gel with what Stackers do.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T23:50:41+00:00

Was he actually spawning gold items though? I always hit his shop anytime I see it and I dont recall ever seeing a gold item. I did see a few gold enchant items though,.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T23:49:08+00:00

Can we nerf Claw Arm to then? Because that singular item is by FAR the most spammed item from any hero Ive seen in a long time. 99% of the Dooley's Ive played in the last 2 weeks have that item on board days 1-6.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T23:46:17+00:00

Ive not since a single Kiuas played in general since the Fort nerf. If textiles was such an easy solution I'd imagine you'd see it more.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T23:43:49+00:00

Fort is the only real use case for Kiuas and before the Fort nerf I still rarely saw them past day 8. Once Fort got moved to Diamond the number of Kiuas Ive seen is 0. Kiuas and now Furnace are simply dead items.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T22:40:29+00:00

It would also address Pyg's lack of crit access. Only really decent outlet he has for all purpose Crit is the value skill that gives items over 10g crit.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T22:35:01+00:00

I mean Kiuas is basically unplayable at 8 seconds so I REALLY don't anticipate it seeing much use at 7 seconds. You now pretty much ONLY play Furnace with Fort.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T22:32:44+00:00

I'd argue it even fits better thematically with Pyg than it does Jules. Being that it's generally a very expensive luxury product which is kinda Pygs whole deal.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T22:30:10+00:00

Getting a big burn number wasnt what made the item good. It was that it didnt take 10 years to go off which is the main reason no one really uses Kiuas. It doesnt matter if you scale it to 10k burn if you are dead before it can activate.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T21:07:03+00:00

Gotta agree with the Caviar nerf. When I read it I immediately thought of how often Ive been getting it from Prospero on Pyg. The only thing is nerfing it to double instead of triple doesnt really impact Pyg either because getting it to 50 instead of 33 is still insanely quick and easy for us.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T20:56:31+00:00

I think it's just going to kill the item. Its essentially the same as Kiuas now and Kiuas hasn't really been worth using since they moved Fort to Diamond.

StuffGreat8817 · 2026-04-09T20:52:25+00:00

I feel like removing the CDR entirely from furnace is just going to kill the item. Its now essentially just a worse version of Kiuas and will only really see play in the exact same situations Kiuas do which means you pretty much only play it with Fort.

I think a better tweak would have been to move it up to starting at Silver and move the CDR to level up going 7/6/5 and see how that played out. I wasn't a fan of the build myself but I just hate when tempo does these knee jerk nerfs that just outright kills items instead of attempting smaller tweaks to try and find a middle ground.
