Game Improvements and Bug Fixes
Ethereal Conjurer will now function correctly and will no longer lock the game state when played.
This gradual nerfing process to Demon hunter is interesting. Don't nerf any individual cards into the ground, just gradually sand the power level off of some cards bit by bit to bring the whole package down a bit ...
Hanar was my free Golden with the bundle. Glad I kept it.
Don't dust him, he is still going to be strong and golden cards that generate other golden cards are always worth keeping/crafting IMO :p
allways DE the card you can allways craft them normal... and get 1 more legendary...
or dust the golden one and craft the regular one and get 1600 free
3rd demon hunter nerfs bois
Two more and Illidan gets that free sandwich
Spell Shaman is going to rear it's ugly head. It's already not bad, but now it will be even stronger.
And DH loses his other testes. Fun while it lasted.
So still no fix for puzzle labs?
They fixed them, just didn't announce it for some reason. It's probably embarrassing considering how many times they pushed it back.
You'll find them all solvable now!
The stats aren't the fucking problem. It's the draw and instant damage + the fucking weapons. Nothing will change.
Someone else said it already....but I find Warrior to be worse than DH right now. They really need some nerfs IMO. Even if I can stave off their early aggression they can burst me from like 20
warrior got nerf.. there lost 1 attack on the big guy that there get out for 0-2 cost allmost each game...
Meh they still didn't nerfed the galakrond rogue cards. Won't change a thing to rogue
AHAHAHAHAHA fok you DH face plebs ! :D
Thank you Blizzard. Now I can stop my HS strike that I started at the beginning of this season. I personally think that the nerf to Crimson Sigil Runner will hurt DH more than the one to priestess...
Didn't expect the nerfs to hunter and warlock honestly, but it's ok. Plus, dusting the extra copies I should make 4700 dust *.*
If I disenchant the rare/epic cards and craft ALL (rare+epic+legendary) in GOLDEN ONES right now, will I recive FULL dust for all of them? Please someone advise me
No, it doesn't work like HoF cards where you are given dust for having a card.
It just means that if you have a card that you don't want anymore, or you have extra copies of it, you can receive a full "refund" if you disenchant it.
No. Do NOT do that.
You get dust only if something rotates to HoF. You can disenchant cards that got changed after nerfs are live for full dust. But you will also need full dust to craft them, so craft nothing.
Too bad, I though I can craft a golden Hanar and save 3200 dust :(
Thanks man!
