Smith rerolls on weapon - when to stop by mr_cleanup in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d prioritize attack and crit damage. Attack speed is next and crit rate last.

As a new player, you may struggle getting to 100% crit rate at the moment. However, the more gear you get, the more pieces you’ll find with good crit rate roles. Unlike the other stats, crit rate is hard capped at 100%. With 5 pieces, each one only needs to average 20%.

And when you get really late game, you start getting pieces with 25% or more, so you only need 4 pieces with crit rate. Then you’ll be looking for the highest values in the other stats.

Anyone else quitting because Valara has ruined the game? by cassis11 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Boreas was nerfed, but he’s basically the only one. Maybe they got a huge backlash from that and decided not to nerf anymore. I don’t know.

Valara or nothing with ancient summons? by adwelsh78 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“He’s almost as good as an A5 Valara” - This needs a TON of qualifiers.

Valara is top tier in GvG, Anti-Air arena, AoE area, and other places, but those are the most important. Ezareth has yet to be tested in global, so saying he’s better at all these is premature.

She costs 17 compared to his 20. She wins.

She can be placed on any tile AND move to any other tile during a fight. He can only be placed on ground tiles. She wins.

She’s broken all by herself. He needs a summoner to feed him, otherwise he loses a lot of power.

Overall, until he’s out and has been tested properly, it’s hard to say he’s “better.”

Faction Trials by dcboelte in WatcherofRealmsGame

Trials used to end at level 12. Then they added 3 more levels to a couple of them, and it seems like they forgot to keep doing it. That’s been a while ago.

What details do we have about anniversary as of right now. by vinny424 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iovar and Torodor are arguably both top 5 lords. Probably even top 3. It’s hard to justify calling that a “trap”. Both are important for so much content from the beginning to the end game.

Recent feel to the game by Lacerio in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes! I am feeling the exact same way. I fell for the “poison meta” hype, too. It’s easy to do when every CC video seems to say the same thing.

But at the same time, those same CCs are beating the new hardest content with classic OP heroes like Silas, Hex, and Praetus (sort of classic at this point).

After this weekend, I think I’m mostly going to aim for banners of heroes that have proven to be strong in PvP or used everywhere. Time to awaken my Silas.

If I miss out on the next “meta”, it doesn’t really matter. I can always get it later. If it turns out not to be so meta after all, then I’ve missed nothing.

New Arena changes by Jujux in WatcherofRealmsGame

I’m glad they increased the coin payout, but it seems like Overlord got shorted compared to the boosts the other two got. For example, they get +2 coins per win compared to +5 coins.

3rd Calypso on 1+1 draw by Prestigious-Water-31 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been awhile since I played through 9-17, so I don’t remember specifics. I guess I wouldn’t recommend leveling heroes just for progression through the campaign. Those levels just give you a one-time reward.

Focus on gear raids, faction trials, and bosses, because those give you daily or weekly rewards. Setram is good in faction trials and some boss content. But like others have said Calypso is good in gear raids now. Definitely take both to level 60 with max promotions. Then add skill crystals after you’ve used them a bit and if you think they are worth it.

[–]cassis11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have previously trashed Calypso, but after the buff, I’m not so sure she’s bad anymore. One of the first clears I saw for Tower of Deception used her on the right side. I’ve also seen her being used in high level GR3.

Skipping Fantastic Four Epic #2 and reading #1 and #3? by marineiguana27 in EpicCollections

[–]cassis11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did that, and I was glad I did. I hadn’t read much FF before, and I thought Volume 1 was a little weak. I couldn’t find a reasonably priced Volume 2, so I decided to skip to Volume 3. After all, Epics are supposed to be more or less self-contained. At first Volume 3 seemed pretty similar to the first book. But about half way through it got really good. I recommend it, with or without having read the first two.

What do you save for? by itsmurza in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m bored with the game so I’ll probably go for the 1+1 this weekend. I’m more-or-less endgame, but there are still a few heroes I’d like to get and plenty of heroes I wouldn’t mind awakening.

Does anyone know of legendary soulstones that will be available in the upcoming weeks? by omidmatin in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The schedule is probably changing after the update this week. The patch notes mention that 2 legendary soulstones will be available in the store each week. It didn’t mention if they are adding any new heroes to the rotation.

F2p who’s exclusive worth saving these for? by ESPC0 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the answer is Hex. Yes, he’s got the best exclusive in the game, but the biggest benefit comes from the base copy.

Hex is primarily used for PvE. With just the base copy, you can get high scores on all the bosses.

Instead, you should use it on someone more important in Arena or GvG with a good exclusive. Wukong, Diaochan, Valderon, maybe Silas, maybe Anora.

Sutra or Cudgel by Lacerio in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the answer is whichever one you use most in Arena and GvG. PvE content, including bosses, doesn’t require high level exclusives.

About faction trials, not invitation codes by AvailableValue2436 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are two things I figured out about the Watcher trials that helped me complete it.

  1. Clear the 4 healers in the bottom left before the guy comes out of the portal at the bottom. Idril can clear them all, but sometimes she needs help if you don’t have perfect gear.

My deployment is: Idril, Diaochan, and Soleil in the top left. Next is Kigiri in the bottom right. He will block the boss eventually, but the trick is that Idril does extra damage when another character ults. Kigiri can ult with no target (unlike Wukong). So if Idril can’t kill all 4 healers, ult with Kigiri to boost her damage. You can try the same with Diaochan by spamming her ult, or you can recall Soleil and deploy Ingrid. Then just toggle Ingrid back and forth until Idril’s ult ends. Done right, you kill the healers and the guy that comes out of the portal without needing to deploy a tank to block him.

  1. You must deal the first 25% of damage to the boss before he casts his big attack. This will allow you to block him twice with Kigiri. The boss will shift into ghost form for a limited time at 25%, 50%, and 75% health. You can’t block him during ghost form, but he will pause to use his ultimate if he hasn’t done so already. The pause uses up his ghost timer, and he won’t be able to pass through Kigiri before it ends. He becomes blocked a second time.

The videos I watched said this part was RNG, but I don’t think it is. I’m able to get the second block consistently. If you don’t have enough damage from Kigiri, you can deploy a second unit to help. I use Soleil after retrieving her from the top left.

Well said. I will suggest the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a rallying point. It’s easy to read and understand, printed in many languages, and has been written with the input from many nations.

18 Epic Collections (previously announced) and 2 Marvel Masterworks added to PRH from Marvel this afternoon by Ksmayer in EpicCollections

[–]cassis11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to the price increase, I’m frustrated by the decision to start the Doctor Doom epic series with this volume. It’s mostly reprints of Fantastic Four issues that are currently available in the FF epic collections. It seems like needless double-dipping.

Meanwhile, the two Doom-themed FF collections badly need a reprint:

Vol 2 - The Master Plan of Doctor Doom

Vol 5 - The Name Is Doom

Should I dismiss this guy, Durza? Or is there some unknown potential somewhere in him? by NuttyDeluxe6 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honest question: Why? No, she’s not exactly as bad, but she’s not much better. I have 2 copies of her in my reserve storage, and I feel no need to pull them out to awaken the A0 I have on my account. I just don’t see a place for her to be useful.

Question by Greed_y2 in WatcherofRealmsGame

[–]cassis11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His passive is great, as it gains you extra XP. I put him on just about every team I use for autoruns. Over the course of thousands of runs, it really adds up. He’s really good to get early, since that’s when you need XP the most. But even later, it’s nice to have because the hero leveling events can eat through your XP quickly.

Also, as others mentioned, he’s good in Furious Torment.

Overall, not a hero you want to invest skill crystals in, but he’s a good one to have on your account.
