Oh, good, this thread is up. During the quest, I noticed that it wasn’t only me forgetting things: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/f/4f4027ae1e5bfd6ebc99d8811dbcab41d80c9ced.jpeg) (The text at the bottom is missing a word) ---

We need to stagger news posts and their associated social posts, so when we have multiple content releases they will be staggered in the 40 minutes after daily reset. 🙂 ---

Why (again!) are weekend class events shafted in terms of rewards? I’m not going to stop asking, it’s nonsense. ~~I haven’t even reached the stage I can get a screenshot of it (yet), I just remember.~~ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/1/6/16a4d2715f5a0c991e7e84e22d1c7a18069234dc.jpeg) Just one measly orb at the end.

Runepriest rolls with dwarves usually. The 3rd trait won’t touch 99% of the dwarves… ---

You named 3rd trait, and that is _Stun all enemies on match 4/5’s_… A trait that’s mostly useless vs the impervious/fortitude-d dwarves. ---

I believe you are in the wrong thread then. This is about the Hero class. The new Mythic is in another thread. ---

> What happens if you select Dodge as your level 70 Talent? Does it stack with the Agile Trait? I think we would all appreciate an answer to this question. @Kafka @Cyrup @Saltypatra I see two possibilities: 1. The traits stack and give 50% chance to dodge (worth it) 2. There are two seperate chances to dodge; 20% then 30%…which would be a 25% chance on average. (not worth it) ---

> [@killscreen](#): > > 1. There are two seperate chances to dodge; 20% then 30%…which would be a 25% chance on average. (not worth it) How do you figure? You get hit if you fail both, which is 80%\*70% = 56% odds. The remaining 44% of the time at least one triggered. ---

My bad then, I took 20+30/2 to get 25%. My math may be off, but I still would like to know which of the 2 scenarios are true. And, in my opinion, dodge is the best thing this class has going for it. A 44% chance to dodge is still too weak to make this is a viable class for something like GW. ---

I believe it’s the worst scenario: only higher percent works, this means 30% from the talent cover 20% from the trait. ---

afaik armor reduction stacks multiplicatively so hopefully dodge will work in the same manner ---

The Dervish trait also fairly shames Dragonguard’s. On the other hand, Dervish has a garbage set of talents to pick from. Basically just Hunter’s Mark spam at lvl1, Backup or Duststorm at lvl20 and Dodge or Lightning at lvl70 (and lets be real, diminishing returns on Dodge vs already-better Lightning isn’t really a choice).
