Hehe. Word of warning - the item has been picked and implemented, and will probably hit the test server before CT5 and I get around to making our video. That said, we'll make our video before the item goes live

New AA Item Art in this spoiler

Spoiler

 

.. Isn't that really overpowered..?

2 Boxton Razorstaff
4 AA item
Robes of Lightness
Goat Boots
Raging Battler
Electroporter Novice

Two of those wizards and a heal/vspin priest, or one of those wizards with a heal priest and a control wizard.

 

It might work only against full melee-based setup, and easy could be autoloose to half of setups with at least 1 wizard.

 

In a melee meta (like the present one) this item is absolutely insane.

 

From the other side it can shift meta to use at least one wizard, and we could see more 2-0-1, 0-2-1 and 1-1-1.

Also it can shift meta to take more terrain (anti) control, so it might happen more of a depth.

 

The fact that it would shift the meta shows that it's an OP item that you have to always be prepared for.. which I think isn't a good thing..

 

It is quite strong

 

I, for one, approve an indirect buff to Stone Feet.

 

I vaguely remember that the interaction of stonefeet and immovable with the main AA-item card wasnt fully satisfying... am i rite?
But the last AA items gimmick should trump the new AA item's gimmick. Does H...r work though? Something was off.

 

Just tested it.

Fast built wizards/priest VS 2xBejElves/Priest (priest even had 4 healing beacons, but it didnt help them too much, coz wizards had much more beacons in hand)

It was like cat with mice, wizards won lol.

PS: seems it is really either OP or "only" extremely powerful vs current melee setups, yet there were no 2 green cards and a cycling train on single item. In good build this curses even will help you to kill opponents' characters faster.
If this goes live, meta will undoubtedly change.

 

Oh god, what have I done?!

 

So much for the spoilers... Thanks for the effort @Lucky Dice

 

Ya know, it's funny that you mentioned that. I did consider Demonic Revenge over Traveling Curse which would've also fit the theme, but there weren't any arcane item with the card. Drawing the curses is rather rare though and if you do end up going all in, you'll be lacking damage anyways.

 

it will definitely replace all the vicious lockets in my traveling curse extreme build. Which is - excessive testing has shown - not a danger to anyone. But the beacons might buy that extra time you want with that silly, silly strategy.

Can anyone tell by heart? I've definitely experienced it with Immovable instead but can't really remember.

 

I checked Stone Feet and Immovable. They do not cancel effect of Hypnotic beacon.

 

But Hover will.
