Post by: Laddinfance on July 28, 2014, 09:25:45 AM
This week on MWM we take a look at some of the suggested spellbooks. We give you our thoughts on what to change and how we would customized them. We've also got some fantastic links to the various spellbooks we made. As always we love to hear your feedback! You can find Episode 7 >>HERE<< (http://www.letslevelup.net/?p=730).

Woot woot!  As if waiting for 5:00 wasn't bad enough, now there is this tantalizing beauty to look forward to.  At least I'll have something to listen to while I do the dishes tonight.   8)

Both explanations make sense.

After this episode, i got an urgent temptation to build a Malakai Priest. Well done :)

Another fun show and props on the Big Trouble in Little China intro!  Tell 'em the checks in the mail.

Interestingly enough, I have been working on perfecting a Necro book based around the Altar as well so it was interesting to hear thoughts on that.  After listening I played my Altar book twice against a Priestess and then Bloodwave Warlord and it performed really well though I am switching it around to include Hawkeye because Skeletal Archer as Undying Servant in the Archer's Watchtower with Hawkeye is just brutal...especially behind a Wall of Bones.  Also.... MOAR FORTIFIED POSITION!!!! 

Keep up the great work guys, can't wait for the next installment.

And in the end you'll just have the little undead frog.

Keep in mind that Archer's Watchtower does in fact work with Skeletons. So, that's pretty good.

Great podcast. I gave it a quick listen at work. Now I'll listen again so I can concentrate better.

don't feel bad. when i built my first necro skeleton book i had Hawkeye and rouse the beast.  My plan was to hawkeye my skeletal archers while in the archers watchtower (6 dice) and to carry libro mortus, Deploy Mort near the enemy mage, and then cast rouse the beast on Mort. (doesn't work either)

I had a total of 8 wasted spell points, and 4 completely useless cards.

Slacker. You should pretend to work for a lot longer than that. You have an obligation to your company to pretend to work for at least 8 hours!

I pretend to work for 8 hours, because my boss pretends to give me a salary. It's a nice symbiosis.

This episode was nice, it gave me a few ideas to try with my Priest.

After that I sort of....space out for an hour.  Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too.  I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.   8)
