Weekly Build Feature - Week 2

Tags: #Weekly Build Feature 
  • January 9, 2018

    So, the Weekly Feature is a new little feature system that Vargr and I are running, where each week we throw up a poll with 6 builds to choose from, and you guys vote for whichever one you want to be featured. Only a single build with the most votes will get featured, though we're hoping that all of them get a bit of support through this. Each of these builds is Legendary Ranked, and we're aiming to focus mostly on this rank for the next month at least.

    This week's theme is simply 'Orcs' where the only rule is that all six builds are going to be Legendary Orcs.

    The White Walker by Raidriar

    The Obliterator by Zach

    The Orc Shaman King by JoDK

    Blackguard by XianiX

    The Old Orc by Henson

    The True Gourmet by Zimbu

    The Poll

    Another great list of builds to feature, Deebs! It must've been quite a challenge selecting these 6 out of the vast selection of amazing Orc builds here. While all the builds are very well written and unique in their own right, The White Walker is a clear winner for me. It combines many different mechanics of the game to push Slow Time and just the "Slow" mechanic itself to new heights. As Raid likes to say, "synergy".

    Actually, my method makes that part fairly easy. I could never narrow it down between all of the Legendary Orcs (of which there are exactly 12), so I just kind of go with them, pick them at random based on when I see them in a like/tag archive that we used to re-tag all the builds on the move.

     

    Ah, but I'm still trying to figure out which one to vote for myself. Hard to pick (for me) between the Orc Shaman King, Obliterator and White Walker. Love the Old Orc and True Gourmet (never read the Blackguard) but those three are definitely my top picks.

    The issue for me wouldn't be finding the Legendary Orc builds, it's choosing them. IIRC, your Grey Prince build is legendary as well. I think that build definitely deserves a spot in this poll, which is why selecting just 6 would prove to be difficult, even if there were only 12.

    Crud, I hate these xD

    A tough call here, but I'm going with the Obliterator. Great build by Zach (perhaps my favorite Zach build). The White Walker was a crazy-close 2nd place for me, though.

    Yeah, fair enough :D If I were actually sitting down and thinking 'okay. What are the top 6 Orc builds' rather than trying to pick 6 of the 12 randomly it would've been a lot harder. The series would probably become a monthly one just because it'd take me so long to narrow it down.

    Wasn't that one of his only builds where he took out the borders around the pictures? I remember that being a bit of a reoccurring joke back in the day. Ah anyway, I think I'm in the same position here. Though I haven't fully decided, if I do vote for The Obliterator it's going to be a combination of the presentation and the gameplay mechanic that he discovered there, Advanced Unarmed Combat was...well it should've been a truly revolutionary discovery for unarmed build, just happened a year or so too late because otherwise I think it would've shaped Unarmed Builds in a completely different direction.

    No Greenskin?

    No Greenskin? 

    That's...strange. Apparently, it's not in the Tag Archive...at all. That's, just incredibly strange. I will say that there are definitely going to be some great builds that aren't making it in, after all, it's random choice but it should never have skipped making the introduction. 

     

    But yeah, Greenskin is definitely awesome. Would totally change my thoughts on the poll, or would complicate it a hell of a lot more if it'd made it in.
