all DKs, both PvP and PvE would go
2009-05-03
Before 3.1 I predted that nearly all DKs, both PvP and PvE would go unholy with thehanges in 3.1. So far, I think I'm right about PvE and wrong about PvP. It does seem that most DKs are unholy in PvE and it seems like many are shifting to blood for PvP. What are you seeing? Me personally? Well I've refused to have anything to do with arena sie it wasreated, so my fus is on PvE, and to benefit the guild I went blood (breaking 7k dps on donstrtor wasn't bad either though) but the other two guild DKs...

Placing more than 5 Human Peasants or Orc Peons on a Gold MineFive is the maximum number of units that can mine depending on what direction the town hall is placed. If you place more than 5, they will stack up and won't be actually doing anything. Using these extra workers to mine ties up supply and can push a player to higher Upkeep levels for no reason. However, on some maps and positions the Town Hall may be placed too far from the Gold Mine which could require as many as 6 or 7 Peons to mine the Gold Mine. Make sure you have enough workers to mine a Gold Mine effectively. Focusing too hard on targeting specific unitsRead more. Attacking Superior ForcesYou should have an idea by looking at the enemy whether you're going to win or not. While you can't always know for sure, you should not attack OBVIOUSLY more powerful armies. The problem is knowing what is an obviously too powerful army. You will learn this by playing the game. Single-player and playing custom games against Computer players can teach you this before you're ready for games against other players. Do...

spell basics
2009-04-02

All spells cost a certain amount of Mana to cast. Physical Abilities/Spells do not require mana. Many people use "spells" to cover both spells and abilities. Most high-cost spells must be manually cast. This means...

Auras
2009-04-02
Some Heroes and units have Auras. These Auras will affect friendly units around the Hero. You can find out if an Aura is active on nearby units by selecting them and viewing the information screen which will show the spells affecting them. Not every Hero has an Aura. If you use the same Aura from two Heroes they do not stack, but since the Auras pulse on and off, the units affected will be covered by the Aura more often. Heroes with Auras benefit from their own Aura. Auras are Universal spells. Universal spells, unlike Magical spells, can work against anything. Magic-immune units like Dryads, are affected by Auras from friendly units only. Dryads will receive the Trueshot Aura from a friendly Priestess of the Moon and be unaffected by Thorns Aura from an enemy Keeper of the Grove. Auras will not be active if the unit is Hidden (Shadowmeld) or Invisible. SpellcastersEach race has 2 dedicated spellcasters. They all start with 200 Mana and gain a total of 400 Mana with Adept and Master Training. Spellcasters are typically weak and need protection. Humans: Priest, SorceressOrcs: Shaman, Witch Doctor, Spirit Walker (different stats)Night Elves: Druid of the Claw, Druid of the TalonUndead: Necromancer, Banshee I...
