" Mark_GGG One player (that we were specifically aware of) had worked out how to use it and had a powerful build that utilized it effectively. Because the player chose not to share that build with the community, most people listened to everyone telling them the keystone was useless and didn't try to experiment with it.

It's been a few years now and I'm still curious.



What was it? EB (and, well, everything) is changed now, so would it hurt to tell the story of how EB was once very strong?



I remember it being in the game and lots of people saying it's worthless. I also remember almost nobody had 6Ls since those were extremely expensive, so mana costs were never that big of a problem anyway. It's been a few years now and I'm still curious.What was it?

^both your points are irrelevant if that player is still in the active community today.



If he is, and GGG releases his name with build etc, he will have a bulls-eye on his head in the future.



"oh look it's the dude withholding the EB build in CB heu heu" etc.



The build could be released without it's creator though, if GGG still has a video of it somewhere that would be pretty cool/interesting.



Stating were past the point where harm can be done, seems foolish at best.

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you much about that build. I had it explained to me at the time, but that was years ago, and I was really more interested in the concept that this guy had worked out a build on his own and kept it secret, than in the details of the specific build, so I probably wasn't paying as much attention at that point.

Pretty confidant it used MP Ice Spear (this was before GMP and LMP were separate things), but beyond that and the obvious fact it used EB I'm afraid I don't know what it was. Posted by

Thought I'd bump the thread and see if we can maybe get some more cool stories :)



How do you devs create builds when you're playing the game for fun? Do you use builds created by the players or do you try to make your own, taking advantage of your knowledge of the game? Posted by

It has been requested in the past to have a little "dev-build of the week" episode. Where a dev demonstrates his/her build in a video similar to BotW.



This would be purely for entertainment purposes i am sure. I don't really expect high min-maxed builds from any of them other then neon :).

(and i mean that in the politest of interpretations possible, a game should be played for fun and i think a lot of the devs embrace that core principle)



Just taking the chance to highlight this concept again, give us dev-BotW!
