This should be interesting
« on: September 06, 2010, 08:26:40 am »



Anyone know if material density affects a pick's damage?  I think I may draft a legendary miner, kit him out in steel, and see if he can break sieges.

Only champions can equip artifacts, and yes, material does affect damage. Gold is pretty heavy, but I don't know if density affects damge done by picks positively. Were it a hammer, it would certainly be good. As a pick, it may or may not be awesome.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

Er, nope.  He's holding it now.  It sure does a number on stone.

Might be arena time.  I wonder if I can even spawn a gold pick in there.

Oh. Whatever.

Also, pick material has nothing to do with mining efficiency.

Yes, you can.

I guess you don't have the "Fertile Imagination" attribute?  ;)

Ha, right, I know. I just meant that he's both holding and using it. Still haven't had a chance tgo test the weapon effectiveness.

I tested it, it's weaker than a steel pick, stronger than an iron pick.
