Re: Hearthstone

It finally stopped lagging for me. I beat the damn first boss on heroic. It was such a rush. Talk about cheese by the devs man. A 4/4 for 2 is outrageous! I had to handlock and let him destroy me so I could put out two Moltens for free and defender of argus. Without that combo I would have been done. Kudos to any other build beating that thing. Im still shocked I pulled it off.

That technique wont work against the beast widow. 1 cost on THAT hero power? WAT

EDIT: I lied, handlock wrecked it. I came back from a 5 to 39 deficit but once the lock get rolling all she has is that ability and she needs to get lucky with it alot.

Zoo destroys the 2nd boss. Maexna on Heroic is a pain though. That 0 mana, double sap is so OP.

Edit: Nearly killed it running a trap/aggro hunter. With better draws I should win. If I was able to get a Unleash + Timber Wolf I would have had it.

Re: Hearthstone

Ran a Paladin deck to beat Maexnna on Heroic. She automatically sends 2 guys on your board back into your hand. I used that to my advantage and kept playing Voodoo Doctors and Earthen Ring to heal, and Bluegills and Wolfriders to deal damage. If you play it right her entire board will be 1 attack minions (if she drops something bigger just use Humility or Peacekeeper) and by turn 10 you can use Guardian of Kings to heal for 6 and send out Wolfrider for 3 damage every turn.

A little time consuming, but damn that challenge is tough otherwise. If I had Alexstrasza I assume Freeze Mage would be a good class to use also.

Re: Hearthstone

Alexstrasza is just a troll on their HP lol.

I took Sandman's advice. It felt so good. Trick is to consecrate those deathrattle spiders to essentially lock his board to dealing 7 damage a turn. He cant summon anything after that and has no spells to use once his hand is locked. Beautiful. Then you just heal yourself out the ***. I got fancy and wrathed his board just to get a bit more satisfaction out of it.

Re: Hearthstone

I finally got around to Naxx tonight and blew threw it in a little under 2 hours, normal modes and class challenges were easy enough, heroics were a nice challenge. I beat Anub on heroic with Shockadin deck on first try, Grand Widow was the hardest on heroic think it took me 5 tries (used different decks each time) before I downed her with Control Warrior, then Maexnna I beat 2nd try using a rush/trap hunter.

Re: Hearthstone

Just put together the world's worst Zoolock deck and beat Faerlina on my first try. Then beat Maexxna on my first try with my Druid deck. Will have to try it on Heroic later, though.

Re: Hearthstone

Phew, finally got all three on heroic. Now time to save up some gold for next week.

Re: Hearthstone

RIP Hunters and Miracle

The following balance changes will be made in an upcoming patch:

Leeroy Jenkins now costs 5 (up from 4)
Starving Buzzard now costs 5 (up from 2) and now has 3 Attack and 2 Health (up from 2 Attack and 1 Health)

As much as I hate Hunter, I think that nerf is way too much. Buzzard goes from being one of the best class cards to nearly unplayable now. Making it 3 mana and keeping it a 2/1 would have been a better change that nerfs the card but still leaves it so that its playable.

As someone who likes playing Shaman and Handlock though, I'm not complaining if Hunters drop off of ladder completely.

Re: Hearthstone

I shed no tears for hunters. That damn buzzard was so op with hounds. The card advantage was OUTRAGEOUS. Now you need 8 mana to pull off that combo and you're pretty much done for that turn. Making buzzard 5 mana is necessary imo. For 5 total (buzzard+hounds) you could do so much more damage that turn if youre in late game. Now you get all you cards but you give the opponent a chance to react. I think its only fair. Buzzard, hounds, hyena or the wolf that gave +1 (I forget the name) was such a deadly combo. Plus all of the hunter's troll traps, I just dont feel bad for them.

Me being a terrible player, put together the standard trap hunter and went on an very uncharacteristic streak of wins. If I can pull that off, then the combo is just too automatic (op).

Im glad they upped Leroy, now Rouges will have to be a bit aggressive on your health since they can no longer pop you for 18+ in a turn just on Leroy alone. Thats a good thing, but I dont think they will lose a step at all. On 10 mana they can still get you for 20 with Leroy with some help. But its not so automatic anymore.

Re: Hearthstone

Much needed one of the biggest problems with the game...was deck variety at higher levels was limited to those cards.

Re: Hearthstone

Hadn't played in months. Saw I got a free arena run. Only did okay and received a deck. Opened it up and drew

New expansion out this week, that is me hooked again.

Re: Hearthstone

I've been playing Arena all weekend long. The new GvG cards are so fun.

Trying to buy 40 packs but the Blizzard authentication servers are all screwy right now.
