Can we please make it so that only Nep can attack with the appendages that it summoned? Meaning- when a Big Priest creates 3 copies, the one Nep that actually attacks face will hit with 2 or 1 of the arms that it summoned. Rather than, all the limbs attacking. No other minion (to my knowledge) has this ability. Freaking busted.
I beleive that if that the Nep that gets summoned only does damage with the limbs that it made, will help with this issue.
Open to thoughts and suggestions!
Shadow Essence to (8).
Nerfing Neptulon is a bandaid, hitting S.E. is future proofing BP.
6 mana is a fair cost for random summon
to change it to 8 it would need to be changed to discover a minion to summon
Just nerf illuminate.
Exactly this ability, sure, no other minion.
It is however, perfectly in sync with how every other colossal works in the game. Every colossal interacts with multiple appendages of other colossal.
Your change would make Neptulon the odd one out.
They are probably not going to make that kind of change to Neptulon ever when only 1 class can abuse it especially when that deck doesn’t have an oppressive win rate compared to the rest of wild. They want this BS in the game. If they didn’t they would have deleted Big Priest already.
Nep would still be strong tho. Its okay to have one card changed. Whats not okay, is having ONE minion being able to hit 8 times in one turn for lethal. (4 arms x2 because windfury if there is a copied Nep)
Sure, would be weaker than he is tho; and it’s not exactly dominating the standard meta.
Absolutely.
Complete non-sequitour.
There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with being killed by this over being killed by that. How neptulon kills you in particular does not matter, what matters is only if it’s too strong a strategy in the deck that uses it.
The question being, is it too strong right now? And if it is, is that a “change neptulon matter” or a “nerf this overall strategy matter”?
I see your point. However, i still stand that its not okay to have one minion being able to hit 8 times in one turn. Thats insane (to me at least)
Your second question of “nerfing the strategy pattern”
Im okay with making copies of minions or cheating out minions. (Because thats all the play pattern is- wether thats S.E. or the shaman spell that summons a copy from hand, reincarnate, any rez spells) perfectly fine with that. To me, making copies or cheating minions is fine.
Big decks are fun! Just no other minion, even if it gets duplicated is able to hit you so many times. Thats the only beef I have.
Yes, 6 cost is fair to summon… Its far too often played at 4 or less. So lets make it actually cost 6 again.
They run 2 minions (3 because I know you are a pedantic troll). So, no. Not unless Discover is reworked to requiring 3 options to choose from as a mandatory factor. No 3 unique minions, no summon.
In a match I just played some Demon Hunter was playing Azshara and summoned Neptulon from horn and he had triple wind fury for some reason. Literally attacked me 3 times in one turn, total 6 hits from hands for 24 damage. No idea wtf happened, clearly a bug.
And the appendages can attack by themselvs making them attack 3 times every turn… In my eyes this card is super broken… and should not be allowed to be the only minion in a priest deck…
Necro from Sabretann aside, this is why it’s good to carry CC cards.
