I know its comoing, with the new mounts, shake off and venom i know its gonna be coming back full force. The old whine that has plaqued us since venom and ram, everyone together now:

"This Unquie has no toughness/invul so hes gonna go down quickly to auto damage and thus is worthless."

Yes dont we all just LOVE that? Well go ahead and post that whine here and get it off your chest, I wont flame you for it either, this is an area i HOPE to concentrate that whine so people dont have to hear it off in other parts of the realms.

I will, in the meantime, actually be working on strategy and intelligence to beat the "auto-damage threat".

glassjaws are on their way out, remember that now with surge, with 2.0, first clicks are the same as or worse than their second, so the mounted rules won't be that devistating.

Also, you can always betray your kind for the shadow khans and their permi-toughness.

LOL. Isn't it great? It will move from "trix is broken!", "trix is god","trix is cheesy brokeness" to "OMG WHY DOES TRIX SUCK?", "trix is WORTHLESS", "OMG I SPENT 50$ TO GET MY TRIX AND NOW HE SUCKS! ST00PID WIZKIDS!"

Seriously, it will all depend on how they implement Trample. Personally, I believe it's potentially the most abusive proficiency out there as it's highly likely to simply remove formations from the equation as army building will drift more and more toward autonomous, and separate units...

As for the usual no-toughness/no-invuln whining, sure there will be figures for which it is the case, and some for which it won't be, but as far as I'm concerned, it's all a gamble, just like playing a wand fig these days...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!


Ah honorable Zap!!!! how true , how true....:) the parapansy of crystal red meth made from from rancid cherries and krugg urine will finally get a switch in topic from being broken...... to being worthless....

Peace,
Gunmix

cant we just call it varatrix?

poor lil guy, he has as many names as I do....

Oh crud! Now my Gobbo army will be trampled upon too?!

Back to the swarm of pole-armers...Or maybe the Trog army of doom?

no matter what people say auto-damage will always be a threat to a lot of 2.0 uniques. One of the biggest uniques that is vonerable to auto damage is Khan Harrowblade.........he can be nuteralized by ** and *** throttle worms, is royally screwed by Pyre Spirit due to his Ram, Venom, and Pole arm........Pyre rams Harrowblade after he has been given an action.......Harrowblade either has to break away with a push and possibly take pole arm, he can do nothing and take venom, or he could try to hit Pyre, push, possibly miss and then take venom....and if he pushes and doesn't hit Pyre he is garenteed to take 3 damage before he can attack again and by then he could be looking down the barrel of a surgeing *** blade golem.

Sorry, but I gotta disagree here. if there is one 2.0 unique which should NOT be afraid of auto-damage. Here's why :

1) his stats are rock solid, he does NOT go down fast.

2) He can weild a relic, which means he will have overall better stats then teh average non on his WHOLE DIAL

3) 6 clicks of regen, please allow me to repeat: SIX CLICKS OF REGENERATION.

4) Nearly infinite high damage potential : Built-in Reckless means he will be able to deal massive damage even if he takes a licking...

Very true Olan, but i guess the day of thinking are gone eh Gauntlet? if its not broke why use it.

Actually Harrowblade has 5 clicks of regenerate not 6, and 1 on 1 (no relics) Pyre Spirit will beat Harrowblade because if he Ram surges into harrowblade he'll deal 1 ram damage and needing only the average roll will deal another 3 to Harrowblade......then the Harrowblade player has a choose, regen, try to attack needing a better than average roll, or try to break away and possibly take pole arm.....on the average regen roll Harrowblade will regain 1 click which Pyre Spirits venom counteracts.......then Pyre Spirt player would push dealing 3 more to harrowblade.........then the Harrowblade player has the same three chooses but with push in mind .... if he does nothing than another click of venom putting him on his last click of regen. or demoing him, then Pyre Spirt will be free to attack and finish the job........bottom line, on average dice rolls Pyre Spirit will take down harrowblade.

Wow your powers of strategy have impressed me, you have PROVEN the entier point of my thread Gauntlet, thank you.

This my dear strategy players is the thinking we have to take advantage of.

yeah that is some good thinking but with my luck harrowblade will eat my pyre spirit without a second thought stupid dice

I thought that the point of this thread was for people to talk about auto-damage abilities like everyone else is.

hey i belive i have a right to complain and yes I am also speaking on auto damage it will hurt harrowblade but in the end it will not kill him with my dice rolls and just a quick point out you say i am the only one not talking auto damage see gunmix and darkcruasders post peace
