It could be worse, you could be witches :^) True, but I actually think witches are fine now in Descent. Fireball is actually better than split arrow early on and they now get Ice Nova in one of the first chests (didn't get Ice Nova last season).
Unless you roll a +cold gem wand before the second chest I'm not sure it's worth taking ice nova. You sacrifice firestorm and freezing pulse for it; your only skills are fireball and ice nova. I tried it, and this makes the statue zone even more incredibly annoying (easy to be stunned during ice nova animation), the merveil zone orders of magnitude harder, and even the cathedral is incredibly hazardous since you lack FP and can be so easily stunned out of the animation.
I'm skeptical the record will be set by an ice nova witch in descent, firestorm+freezing pulse is just infinitely more comfortable and vaporizes monkeys, skeletons, and undying. Hell, I got 2nd with it on a run where I forgot to take quicksilver. It's much better than getting freezing pulse/ice spear though, god knows.
Tl;dr: Taking ice nova means you have to run away from every non-monkey elemental resist pack, passing up huge exp bags, and makes it almost impossible to kill rares in a timely way.

Eternal orbs are worth quite a bit, since they're virtually required for high end crafting/gambling.
Right now prices for everything are flying around like crazy in Anarchy from what I hear. I have two rules of thumb: don't sell something if you've had it for less than 48 hours and check the shops in the league if it's a unique or currency. People there always overcharge, but it gives you an idea for the ceiling.

2 months ago it was 1.5 ex : 1 eternal so that sounds good to me but exalt prices have been plummeting. If I were you I'd take it because it's a lot easier to buy items with exalts than with eternals IMO.
once you get familiar with the trading system it's fun as hell. if you don't spend much time on it however it sucks ass for sure. I've been ripped off my fair share

Anyone knows what new long term leagues ala Anarchy will be when Anarchy ends?

Anyone know if the 18% physical damage helping oak in cruel also applies to EK?

I read somewhere it does, and my EK uses it and it seems to work. Not 100% sure thou

They go for 4ex in standard now and considering anarchy usually is more expensive.. I'd hold on to it.

GGG hasn't released any information about it yet.

You might as well use it for something now. Holding onto it until default and anarchy merge doesn't seem productive at all. Investing in the new league items sounds like the best plan, but selling them for crashed currency when the leagues merge might be a nightmare.

It does yes. You can be certain it does because it just says 18% physical damage. EK does physical damage so it increases it. Things that don't work specify non-EK things like "melee physical damage."

I assume you were doing a practice run or something?
|
One thing is for sure, those races will have lots of participation. Probably several "inactive" good racers will come back just for them, like Kripp.
|
Its just 1 hour HC solo, right? Should probably practice until i can hit level 20+ consistently.
|
Nothing has been announced on the mode, but yes, I'd assume it is.
|
Could use one of those Roccat mousepads. The keyboard is not really tempting, I find that all "gaming" keyboards tend to be unnecessary large because of all the extra junk buttons
And since it's not top5 classes, but top5 players and probably not even turbo event, I'm assuming there will be 5 leap slammers winning =D

If I were the hardware company with the money to sponsor something I would have them use a secret set of mods that only show up once they enter terraces...
But I am not and odds are very high it's just a one hour solo. Kinda sad rewards aren't class-based, but it's pretty cool nonetheless. Good luck everyone!
I'll play Witch so I'm probably not going to win anything; I used up my first +1 cold gem blue-blue linked wand in two months in the last 12 minute solo burst.
|
I think we can safely rule out BLAMT or Turbo for the Roccat races, they are trying to get as many people playing as possible and difficult mods are just too... difficult for casual racers, so I assume it's just 4 normal 1h races.
I wish there was a reward for hitting lvl 20 since that is at least somewhat challenging.

Has there been any additions to the storyline yet? More chapters?
