  • I haven’t used it much but I could see it being really useful in berserker builds. Also pair it with a ring of accuracy and you could have a pretty good setup.

    Also champion build, could be useful shield + flail combo. The duelist’s ability on the flail also negates the issue of the accuracy penalty (guaranteed hit) while also providing extra damage, which seems insane because at high levels, this is the highest damaging weapon in the game. Keep in mind too with champion build you can swap to the other weapon to sneak attack if need be.

    I think I’ll give it a try at least on my next run.

    Nope. Zionism only truly started to gain traction at the end of the 19th century and Israel only really began to take shape after the Balfour Declaration in 1917. Prior to this, Palestine was the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and before that it was (for the most part) the territory of various Islamic Caliphates.

    The modern conflict we see today can be traced back to the Palestine War (1947-1949) and its aftermath. So yeah, 50+ years is pretty accurate. Saying it’s been going on for thousands of years is a common misconception. Some people try to perpetuate that misconception in bad faith to conceal the fact that this whole thing started because colonial powers stuck their business into a situation where it didn’t belong.


  • Ehhh, I’ve always avoided fire based attacks because they cause too many issues. They burn up grass, doors, meat, and scrolls (except SOU). Basically the result is you lose most of your ability to surprise attack and hide from ranged enemies, and you lose some useful items. That can be a death sentence in challenge runs.

    I managed to make it work (the damage buff is insane) but it was pretty heartbreaking to see a scroll of transmutation go up in flames, for example.

    Chilling isn’t all bad. It does disrupt fire (you could also say fire attacks disrupt chilling), but being able to slow enemies is really powerful in its own way (augment for damage, kite enemies, etc.). WOC is definitely weaker than WOF though because you can’t hit multiple targets and you can’t freeze (paralyze) enemies no matter how many upgrades you sink in.
