    Crafting Card Preview - Drakefist Hammer

    Hey Ben,

    first of all thank you very much for sharing this new crafting card with us. But I really wonder how it can happen that official articles like yours contain such "easy to see" mistakes. Zomm does never get "infinite numbers of attacks" as mentioned.

    He attacks once, ticks down one. As his attack for the round is finished and his clock matches the master clock, he is ticked up by one and the next Mini continues. Easy as that. No infinite number of attacks.

    Such an equipment card is good with Minis that have a tick cost of 2 - not 1!

    Edit: here is the link to the article: http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wowminis/en/news/default.aspx?aid=6081

    other than the Sunder Armor which really meant Expose Armor, parafly has pointed out this correctly.

    I dont think that works either.

    Example:

    Zomm A attacks on tick 3, ticks up to 4, opponent rolls no successes so Zomm ticks down to three, THEN he ticks one up at the end of his turn as you normally do at the end of your turn, effectively leaving him at tick 4 just the same as if he had attacked normally.

    I love these kind of things, but I think we need to get further outside the box than this. :)

    Yeah.

    Um...

    Maybe Ben's had a busy week... he's only human.

    Too bad Rexxar can't use this. Who is this card best for? And, when would you want it over the equipment that ticks up the enemy? And, should we sport both at the same time? Dual wielding ftw!

    Oh dear, hi everyone.

    In fact, it has been a hectic couple of weeks, but that's no excuse for such flagrant error.

    It's funny, because when I first thought about the Equipment the way I ended up writing about it I thought "hmm I'm guessing the clock rules prevent that" and I looked through the CR and somehow just completely missed the rule that Parafly so kindly pointed out. 

    So, sorry!

    Yes, you are correct, the equipment is BEST with minis that have attacks costed at TWO, NOT one.  Or, even better, with minis that make attacks costed at "1.5" like Corle pointed out with the unfortunately excluded Rexxar. 

    Anyhow, thanks for keeping me sharp guys :D

    -Ben

    Quite a few of the Rogue's have 2:4 tick attacks that would be pretty nice dropping to 1:4 coupled with Expose Armor.  Delyn in particular seems like a unit this was made for, having a 2:4 attack that also has the option of adding more -1 Armor counters on the target.

    None of the Shaman's seem to make good use of it at all.  A couple Warriors are maybes, but not quite as obvious as the Rogues.

    Dralor could make a nice use of this hammer and expose armor
    He has 2:4 (+1stealth), dropping that to 1:4(5) + hemorrhage each tick would be quite a nice damage

    Albeit from the mistake in Zomm, it is an interesting article. However my reservations for this card is similar to that of Deep Thunder, a single die roll in defense makes the success chance 30%. Saying such, I rather prefer this over Deep Thunder. While both of the setups will find initial targets dead, I find Drakefist Hammer (increased DPT) performs its function better than Deep Thunder (controlling nature).

    p.s: Parafly, can you add a link to the article from the first post. UDE only list the last 20 articles in their archives and anyone searching for previous articles are forced to google for it. If we preserve the links in the forums, the search for a particular article is less of a hassle.
    Some people learn, some people don't. For me, I can never correct myself to say Julia Graves as opposed to Julia Roberts

    A few considerations:
    - Each time you kill a character, you have to expose a new one. So this card on a powerful attacker reduces its usefulness somewhat.
    - Sinister Strike can lower the clock of a 3-tick attacker by another 1.
    - Fillet, Kneecapper Extraordinaire could accumulate his +1 attack counters twice as fast with this.
    - At a potential 8 damage per tick, Dagg'um Ty'gor may well be the most efficient damage dealer capable of using the hammer. Too bad it does not work with his Shuriken attack.
    - Sethekk Talon Lord boosted by Shienor Sorcerer pays 1 tick on a crit to add 1 tick to the enemy. That has limited use for locking down a character, though, because it is likely to die fast. On the other hand, it prevents escape / shielding the damaged enemy.

    Ticking you down
    = you need a 2+ Tick Attacker
    = you might act before another enemy
    = you act more often, maybe to ready something by your next crit

    Ticking the enemy up
    = you could also use a 1 Tick attacker!
    = when the enemy dies he gets at least 3 ticks

    Why can't pallies use this? "Magdeline Prideheart goes into a corner and cries"

    Sarcastic remarks should come in a different color. Then the forums would be more interesting to look at.
