Th...I just watched them on youtube in a new tab...<br /><br />The thief videos were extremely impressive, and that is clearly a player who already has their feet under them and is off and running. I especially liked the video of the shortbow+sword/pistol gameplay as that was a combo I personally enjoyed qutie a bit with that profession.<br /><br />I was less impressed with the necro vid, I'm sorry to say. The "pressure build" I used in the recent BWE was much harder hitting and more effective imo, and I didn't care for the selection of utilities that player chose either. Spectral Armor is a "no-brainer" I think we can all agree that is a high quality skill for necros, but I thought that player greatly over-emphasized condition removal (simply taking the trait that cleans them on entering DS is really adequate) and while I like the healing skill, it really should be paired with a utility like Blood is Power for increased effectiveness (this also reinforces the bleed stacking from the scepter and generally fits better with the whole pressure build.)<br /><br />So, Spectral Armor + Blood is Power, and then add Signet of Spite to go with the scepter #3 skill, and now you're talking REAL pressure! <br /><br />Obviously, your mileage may vary depending on playstyle and personal preferences... I definitely agree that there is MUCH to be learned yet, and clearly a greater depth to the strategic approach to the game than might be apparent on first glance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171316701044436647.post-24197024545948216722012-05-17T09:51:55.142-07:002012-05-17T09:51:55.142-07:00I also wanted to apologize, I'm not sure why t...I also wanted to apologize, I'm not sure why the full screen aspect of the videos is not functional.
