The Official Hearthstone : Heroes of Warcraft Thread

Yup, very good combo, I can't imagine them being as competitive as they are (which is fairly low ranked atm) without it.

Since we're talking about priests I love all the combos there are with priest, without it just relying one one single big combo (like miracle) to win. It's just lots of smaller combos like circle+priest for flamestrike, circle+cleric for insane card draw (or fatiguing your priest opponent), Wild Pyro+Shield+Smite (which you can also mix in with circle and cleric for board clear and a full hand :D) etc.

It's such a fun class to play, just feels a little bit too weak atm (obviously things will change with the naxx cards).

Folks, thanks so much for your feedback, I am in no way intending to troll or put this game down. I will be researching your advice in further detail as I would like to get into this game.

The funniest thing is... the only game I have been playing each night.... is this game...

Its so funny because after a long day at work, then coming home and helping my wife with our newborn daughter, and then once she is asleep I can sit at my PC, load the game up and be playing a game within a minute or so (after the obligatory wife time ofcourse!).

The other funny thing is, since Naxx, Ive had my ass handed to me nearly every single game, dont get it!

Im sure half of it is the way I play.

Is there any contact list of HS players? I would love to play against some of you sometime.

It seems to have got more difficult in ranked play over the last couple of weeks. I think it's partly due to the new Naxx cards and partly due to the new season and people with their legendaries being dragged back a few levels.

Loads of people seem to be trying to shoe horn Naxx cards into their deck whether they fit or not and I've had to drop my favourite Aggro Mage deck as that Sludge Belcher card is killing me.

The upside is that I've now discovered Secret Mage due to the Duplicate card.

I'm finding the opposite. I think Rank play is not as hard as the previous couple of seasons precisely because

a) like you say people are shoe horning the Naxx cards into their decks and making them less consistent.

b) Zoo is less effective thanks to Belcher and with the new Deathlord card coming this evening Zoo will be even worse.

I believe this is the week when having Silence in your deck is really going to start helping. I'll be putting an Owl in just for the new Spectral Knight card which is probably the best card of the whole set considering you can run 2 of them.

Lately i've not been enjoying hearthstone much, but today however I've had a blast playing through the 2nd wing of Naxx, unlocking the cards, playing the class quests. Then I plodded through the dailies got my rank up to 18 (as its only for the card back im happy with the result).

Then I spend some gold on a pack and get a Lord Jaraxxus!

I've been wanting this card for ages so I can play around with my warlock deck some more, priest and shaman get a bit boring after a while.

All in all a great time! why cant all days be like this when I play the game.

Jarraxxus is not really a great warlock card, i think it's a win more card tbh. It takes up a whole turn and in that time your opponent can seize board control again.

If u use him with enemy minions on the board your most liekly behind any way. I always preferred Alexstrazsa to him as u are guaranteed an 8/8 on the board when it is played.

Also with the one turn kill combo's of being able to do 15+ dmg in a single turn kind of makes those 2 cards pointless.

I got Alex the other day when i bought packs and I actually didn't get to use her once in 5 games vs my hunter friend.

Against aggro decks or decks that can do a lot of burst in a couple of turns it is a dead card most of the time in your hand.

Just played a few games where I was itching to play Jaraxxus but never got the chance, just my luck (althought I won those matches ironcally) But Ive added it to my deck just for a bit of fun more than anything. kinda like Loatheb very situational but fun to play when the moment happens :D

He's a fun card but hes also almost completely useless.

He just can't turn a match, if you play him and win, you would almost certainly have won without him, if you play him and lose, you might have turned it round with another card.
 
Latest wing was a right roll over, freeze giant deck, Handlock and then the easiest freeze giant kill for the four horsemen ever, I just froze them every round reducing there health to pop them with a flame strike to then kill the boss who only has 7 health lol.
 
Class tutoring done, cant call them challenges thats for sure. HC's are for tomorrow onwards when I can be bothered. Still fun though, got my 1000 win on the four horsemen as well so thats 300g for me :D

3 packs and I get Noz and Alex from them :D nice legendary set of packs :D:D

Lol. Normal modes aren't supposed to be hard, they're supposed to be beatable by anyone, with pretty much basic cards just so people can get the cards, if you needed ridiculously expensive decks like handlock or control warrior it would just be plain stupid. I don't even know why you're changing what deck you're using for each normal mode, just use any ladder deck and you'll beat them.

It's only the heroics that are supposed to be a challenge and require deck changing to beat.

Did all 3 heroics with priest again (all others but maex were done with standard Amaz priest deck, Maex I had to change a lot of cards obviously), first and third I had to change it a bit (mainly for ooze, 20 damage weapon to the face hurts :eek:), second I just used ladder deck.

Yep i used priest to beat all 3 hc's this wing, not very happy with that as it gets quite boring imo. Spent a good 2 hours on Gothik and finally got him to draw his whole deck and fatigue him down with the priest.

lol, my view of normal is different to you're one. Considering the time that people have had to collect cards even on the free to play model I consider these far to easy to beat, I even went back this morning and the first two with a zoo deck which is cheap.

I feel that for the very limited time this 'adventure' will be around it needs to be paced for a longer duration. At the rate Blizzard are releasing these I can see the meta going south again for another 6 months that it will take to release a new 'adventure'.

I even found the first two wings Heroic too easy as well, I managed to beat them with not a lot of fuss. Even Loatheb Heroic was easy with a fairly cheap Warrior deck that I tailored after basically looking at his cards played and the gimic.

Also mage and lock are my ladder decks these days after it was clear that Paladin like Priest aren't keeping up as much these days.
 
If heroic difficulty was the normal difficulty there'd be a lot of people (read iPad owners ;)) who'd be completely locked out of getting the naxx cards.

Just because the game has been out a while doesn't mean that everyone has been playing that long.

Never said Heroic difficulty should be the new standard for normal, that's your words.

I would be happy with Ai being a bit less daft and the cards they have a bit more suited for playing again more options we the user chuck at them.

Also Naxx is an add on pack, my view its like BC. You got learn to crawl first even if your on ipad before you try to walk.

Let face it they might call it free to play but its not free to make or run, so some card purchasing is expected.

If your able to make 700g for a wing then you know enough of the game well enough to earn that much for each wing that they are capable or have a wide enough range of cards to make deck that's not a random construct of learning cards.
