What you did wrong vs the warlock is missing all your fireballs and engaging him at close range. On top of that he specifically had his anti magic shield and most likely his anti magic passive skill. Also, you didn't take 2 cast of his curse but 4. You missed all of your spells and he hit you 4 times. Also, you can fireball phantomize and they'll take damage from it. If you stay further than 7m away from him he literally can't do anything. Warlock is a meme.

[@koreyardoin3695]

He hit you with 4 curses of pain, which was 1 more than the "3 zaps" that you referenced. COP also has precision aiming unlike Zap and is one of only 2 offensive spells he can really use (technically 3 if you count meme beam which is a terrible spell), and frankly dark bolt is kind of shit all around. He suffers from a range difference where he dies to bows and crossbows that can hit him outside of his COP range. Only takes like 3-4 arrows/bolts to put a caster build down. He could heal, but that's only if he has something to hit. If he wants to heal off of hydra he'll need a ton of magical healing, which still leaves it inefficient, or need to run life drain which has its own risks. Your encounter was just unlucky since he was designed to counter magic casters and your other teammate was just a squishy rogue. Either needed a tanky meatball to run him down or an actual ranged weapon to kill him.

[@TheFlipperFins]

At 7:58 with spud fighting the warlock. He got hit 4 times with the curse of pain. It was also allowed to tick for most of the duration for two of the casts. Pretty sure it hits for ~20-25+ticks dmg in ok gear so if that guy was at least in good gear it makes sense that 4 hits on a wizard would kill him. I think getting zapped by wizard 4 times should kill you as well (spud literally says this) if especially if the wizard was geared. The warlock didn't even have the healing perk. Much love spud. ♥

they 100% need a "sage" npc where we can talk to him and inquire about various things. We unlock info on mobbs and maps/items as we progress, meaning if we go to a location once, it reveals the name of the area, maybe twice and we can find somthing out about it, like what kind of loot containers be there. We can have it for mobbs too, after we kill X amount of a mob we can see a list of possible drop rates, but miainly we need a "blank map" that as we venture in the dunegons reveals itself so we can check in the lobby. Think of how you reveal the map for Ark: ASE, this will help newer players learn the maps and mobbs. We already have these tools on 3rd party sites, so why not in the main game. Shout out the DnD wiki, very usefull for noobs, i know i found that shit life saving when i found it 1-2 months after playing

[@youngellefson]

honestly, when they released GC in the PT, my exact thought was that this map is destined to be the tutorial. Its the classic vibe of tutorial, kill some gobbos go kill the big bad troll boss and loot and scoot. When they started expanding it and focusing in GC's i was kinda confused cause i didn't think its worth it, since they made the ice caves which are brilliant, rather move on and just make GC the tutorial for white gear max.

I mean the thing with wizards in D&D is that they always were super strong and nearly gods if they have all their spells. I feel like it's the same in DAD. Totally makes sense that wizards to have all that power need to rest and have downtime. That's kind of the entire point of resources..... Let's also not pretend you can't bring like 4 or more campfires to every match so you pretty eliminate that downtime. Wizards needed a nerf to that perk for sure.... maybe not as heavy handed as it was I will agree. A wizard running me down with 5 hastes, 5 invis, 8 fireballs, 10 zaps was a little bit overkill. You could literally just full send a assload of spells without trying to budget them at all. It was too much output with very little counterplay from your opponent who had to dodge fucking 20 spells before they could close the gap.

[@OsaV127]

Also do you not know you can splash damage phantomise with fireball (they take more damge while it active too)

[@wildy0000]

Well ill tell you what you did wrong in the warlock vs wizard fight. Firstly jumping hydra is a risky process. A well positioned warlock is able to get free hits and kill people who disrespect hydra. If you want to jump hydra. You must jump it at end or very start of its creation/despawn. That way your able to catch him recasting this which will give you a head start, if he is holding other casts while you jump you lose advantage/hp to jump it. Then for the 1v1. Now its clear he is a juiced lock i wish you had shown all his gear, but he has the talent + the spell to give him a chance to fight wizards. (Eldritch shield) 25MAGIC absorb shield + he will have 25% MR from a perk, and likely another 10% from will. Because of these factors, its actually a hard but fairly balanced matchup as normally without those talents/spells wizard counter warlocks pretty hard. But the counter is zap and nothing else. If you land zaps while he is trying to curse you will out tempo him. If you look at the fight, you tanked 4 Curses, which seemed to do around 20 damage per curse, the rest of the damage was the ticking damage. He had time to land 4 curses on you, and 2 on your friend. This is 6 casts. You was trying to fireball/MM which are both horrible options here, and even worse against good players with good Move speed. You had time to land 4 zaps, and 4 zaps will kill him. It can be 3 zaps without his resist talents/build. And its also a chance its 5 zaps based on his magical healing/vigor stats. If he is running +all attribute and out geared you hard, its likely you need 5 zaps. But if your equal geared its -1 zap or -2 to kill ofc. In this fight it was a 1v1, followed by another 1v1, in a well favoured situation to him. A solo geared barb on the corner could have done the same thing killing you both one by one. Its clear he has ok/semi geared because base warlock dex is 15, and resource stat is 12 for naked warlock. So here we can see he has +4 Attributes, likely legs/neck. he has +20 kn + 15hp + 15agi extra in other words, his kit is worth 6-10kgold, depending on +healing + all being very juiced right now

[@FickleApathy]

IN MY OPINION Spell overload is a massive quality of life buff for wizards. Wizard is infinitely more fun to play while using it. Your complaints about caster warlock are somewhat warranted, but to be fair both wizard and bard are on a somewhat equal tier of strength. That one clip of the warlock 2v1 you kinda just got diffed. I agree the 3x3 gob caves was a 5 man bloodbath where the best player with the most gear usually was able to terrorize the other 4 players. It was a bit fun to be the one player though. They reverted back to 5x5 anyways. Buff ball isn't too oppressive in 3v3's. It's a battle of the full-senders vs the full-sendees. Plus wizards running at you chain-lightninging 6 damn times. The PvE learning curve is pretty steep, but clearing mobs gets significantly easier with gear. Plus the PvE is a constant of the game, it's not like some other game genres where over time the game gets harder as more content is added, thus deterring newer players. The PvE is just a mechanic that has to be learned and experienced, something to struggle and overcome as you learn to play the game. We all want DaD to succeed and thrive. To deliver us, the players, the best experience possible. There's still a fair bit of path left on that journey, but I believe in the devs and the community. Overall great video Spud, your videos always entertain.

WHAT IF... they brought back ruins and made goblin caves the "down" level of ruins, like inferno after crypts. then all 3 maps have a second layer (ice caverns eventually) also would probably want to make the loot of goblin caves more like inferno especially in HR.
