There is one special interaction with the dark ranger ult. As said it pierce magic immune, so if you have a pit lord cast Doom on a target, while it will usully be impossible to save, casting Charm on the same unit will cancel the doom and give you a unit whithout the doom effect
Seems like more of an anti interaction. Since you can never use it to your advantage, just avoid getting hosed by it (though it would probably be a pretty bad idea to charm a doomed target regardless of how it works).
This was a really cool interaction, some random TH-cam commenter comes out with some esoteric knowledge about a more than 20 year old game that even one of the most prolific player doesn’t know.
There is one thing I definitely do need in life and that thing is to listen to Grubster talking about the one whos might cannot be matched- the Crypt Lord
Arthas: I’ll finish it. You deserve a clean death. Sylvanas: After all I’ve put you through, Arthas, the last thing you’ll give me is the peace of death. Arthas: No! I wouldn’t dare!
Ahh the inverse dialogue meme. Well done. Works well with Star Wars too. "It's over, Obi-Wan, you have the high ground!", "I underestimate your power."
@2:23 I know it's a joke, but it made me look up just how old Arthas was in WC3. TIL he was 27 when he defended Strahnbrad and in Wrath of the Lich King (his death) happened when he was either 33 or 34 depending on birthdate
Something to note is that, black arrow will dissipate the corpse if not magic immune or mechanical. I have seen games where she was picked as second to counter tauren-walker strategy and it was a really hard counter. Not that you need her to beat taurens anyway....
yeah. As a rule of thumb: everything that explodes a corpse as well as everything that summons stuff out of a corpse will make the corpse disappear. Keep that in mind if you are planning on using necromancers. Either have meat wagons nearby or make sure to use most of your necro mana for frenzy/cripple instead as there may not be many corpses to utilize for them.
Just gotta point out that there's one more very important thing about Base Attack Cooldown Time you're missing, which is "Animation Damage Point". Every unit in Warcraft 3 this value, it is basically the attack animation windup time - the time it takes from beginning an auto-attack animation until the projectile is fired (or until the damage is dealt directly, in case of melee units). It needs to be combined with Base Cooldown Time to get the actual interval between attacks. Sadly Archers fare very poorly on this stat since their windup involves putting the arrow in the bow - Dark Ranger has an Animation Damage Point of a staggering 0.7 seconds. This is not the highest in the game (Naga Sea Witch has 0.73 seconds) but combined with the Dark Ranger's already high Base Cooldown Time, this makes her the slowest attacker in the game, period, with a whopping 3.12 second interval between her attacks, before attack speed bonuses come into play. For comparison, the hero with the highest Base Cooldown Time (the Alchemist with 2.5 seconds) only has a windup of 0.35 seconds, giving him a 2.85 second interval between attacks, still better than the Dark Ranger. Oh and in case you were wondering - yes, Animation Damage Point scales down with attack speed modifiers. That is to say, if you have +50% attack speed, your attack windup is also 50% faster (in Dark Ranger's case, her windup would fall to 0.46 seconds). So it is still correct that the sum of attack speed bonuses raises DPS just as you'd expect it to. Animation Damage Point is a stat that goes unreported in most unit tables I see be it on liquipedia or other wiki sites. It's only in the editor that you'll find this out, generally. And to pre-empt an inevitable question, you'll also find next to it a value called Animation Backswing Point - but this value does not actually affect interval between attacks, it is merely telling you how long the unit will stand perfectly still after making an attack; this backswing period can be interrupted by giving a new command, just like it works on spells, and does not relate to the actual attack cooldown of the unit.
Ooooh, OH! What about a Death Knight and Paladin double feature? You get Arthas' and Uther's lore knocked out in one go and get to compare and contrast their abilities/gameplay. Although, that could make the video bad for watchability if someone only wants to see a spotlight for one of the heroes.
I want the video to include immersive dk vs. pala gameplay where they just coil/holy light each other all day. And neither one dies because pally blocks coil with divine shield and dk summons random skellys with rod and then eats them, lol.
I too subscribe to the belief that wow lore is just a fever dream. My dream is to one day be rich enough to buy blizzard, scrub any trace of wow from the planet, and release warcraft 4 with warcraft 2 metal aesthetics, hiring grubby as a consultant like he was for reforged, especially on unit readability.
After having played MOBA's years after WC3, looking at these Heroes made me realize how random and uncoordinated some of the Heroes in this game is, and Dark Ranger is probably the queen of this. Her entire kit is literally a bunch of random unrelated abilities with no synergy or relation to another, just a grab bag of random. Worse, Life Drain until recently literally works against Black arrow. Or Avatar of Vengeance being on Warden, etc.
Very cool series Grubby! Seeing as you've done one hero from each column so far, it would be cool to see the Paladin next. Even though Undead is my main race, you've covered quite a few undead like heroes so far with Dreadlord, Pitlord, and Dark Ranger, so it would be nice to see the champion of the light covered next! Good old Uther Lightbringer :D
I just wanna say that you are easily the most wholesome guide creator I have seen on this platform and I absolutely love that for you. Also please do far seer next time
There is an important trick for her, it's to use vision when using charm strategies. Shade, sentry wards, sentinel owls, workshop/arcane tower reveals. This allows her to steal units with charm with minimal risk. In team games and FFA I often pair her with both Alchemist and Pitlord to remove 3 high value units in an enemy army and run away, and then repeat until they only have heroes left. Vision is also the main counterplay to charm attrition strats. For items, boots of speed, and while she doesn't care too much she prefers rings of protection to health items when using drain life. I suppose tome of retraining at level 6 for drain life can be worth it very rarely in the lategame, but only against a zero interrupt army.
Surprised why people would want this one first. Dark Ranger is an extremely simple hero with no non-obvious interactions, besides what race mixing with charm possibly unlocks (but that isn't really an interaction with her). I guess it's just the Sylvanas branding. I think the most interesting/non-obvious interaction she has is that she is kind of a counterpick to coil nova, since she obviously can't be coiled and she has tools to deal with nukers (and as you mentioned she heals faster in their base, for what that's worth). Oh, and maybe that she could make a bit of a power couple with Blood Mage, using banish on targets to lifedrain nuke (slow/magnify damage) and providing mana with Siphon Mana. For items, I would say amulet of spell shield is a lot stronger on her than most other heroes (especially if you go for life drain). As I said the last spotlight, if you want a hero with a crazy amount of interactions/tricks, go with Tinker.
An another gem on the Grubby Talks channel? Well...sorry baby, pleasuring you must wait, this is an important matter. I am going to find out how to use the Dark Ranger first this knowledge must be aquired right now.
Thank you very much! Well done, fun explanation. Would like to suggest Firelord next, I played this game 20years ago and never really understood his skills (incinerate, lava spawn,...)
Let me go into details: 1st Black arrow have a reforge special bug that does not always proc if character auto-attack and killshot happened to go from base damage aka you deal 10+2 damage, enemy have 10HP 2nd there is Charm can control immune targets and Creeps which is relatively insane 3rd Boots on dark ranger are CORE item if 1st, its absolutely mandatory inclusion for her to be fast to and out of action 4th elf dark ranger loves cloak of shadows, it allow you to use dirty guerilla on enemy workers that feels illegal 5th Dark Ranger can not be healed by paladin, but can be healed by priest and shadow shaman 6th Dark ranger can use Ulti unconditionally even go over max population in the game
your understanding of silence paladin while nuking am, is basically arenas in wow. Just throw in divine intervention potion on am, and that resembles defensive cds, and that's arenan
An important concept with life drain is that it comes at the opportunity cost of not attacking. You deal effectively that much less DPS to your target, and you can't move. With 1/3/5 arrows and no items DR deals 17.6 // 25.3 // 34.7 DPS physical, reduced by armor (often around ~25% to normal units). So channeling to deal 30/45/60 DPS is actually only slightly more than just attacking your target. And while orb casting you can move and attack at the same time more effectively than her normal backswing, and with a longer range. In essence the only really good thing about life drain is that it heals you so effectively, which turns DR into an oddball sort of tank hero. And yet, its less efficient in mana consumption to tank creeps with life drain than it is for summons to do so- and undead already have necrorod. Treants give 600/900/1200 heavy EHP for 100 mana. Life drain doing its full duration on 4.3/5.4/6.1 armor gives 302/477/656 hero EHP back for 50 mana. And on an agi hero with far lower max mana / regen.
Man, you made me laugh in this video, haha. ty for the spotlight, it helps understand your train of thought when you're playing. You have to at least cover Mountain King!
Problem with priestess isn't really that she "sucks". The problem is that the "dedicated ranged race" that is NI likes to spam the literal only two units that they have that don't really care about trueshot aura. Bears are unaffected by it and dryads only do part of their damage with the actual attack so the effect on them is reduced as well. It IS great with archers and huntresses though.
I had Silence casted on me forever because it's all I can only hear now after Grubby shouted the previous videos title in all-caps! Thank you for the silence demonstration, Grubby! ♥
AcktsuaLly around 3:40 Kel'thas didn't do the channeling to break Icecrown since thats the Sentinels campaing and Kel helps you againts Illidan (though he mostly gets owned by the undead). Also Arthas's path crossed with Illidans way sooner in the RoC campaign when he told him about Gul'dans skull.
Worth noting a couple of more things about countering Dark Ranger: 1. Not only mechanical units, but also Spirit Walkers and Mountain Giants (with the Resistant Skin upgrade) are immune to Charm, as are Summons. 2. If you have decent economy, you could afford to make really cheap units that don't hurt much when Dark Ranger takes them Combine the above, and you can actually keep an army against her: Night Elf could go Mountain Giants + Archers; Orc can go Headhunter//Berserks + Spirit Walkers; Human can go Siege Engines and/or Flying Machines; Undead is the most hosed here (no non-hero Resistant Skin units, and Obsidian Statues stop being useful after 2 if heroes are the only other thing you have, and Meat Wagons are just bad).
Hi Grubbs! I hope you finish out the hero spotlight, then move on to a unit spotlight, an ability spotlight, and finally (but most importantly), a sound effect spotlight.
Am i weird for going Lich -> DR because my Lich gets to eat well from all the Summons the DR creates letting me stay on the enemy side and poke enemies with lots of Frostnovas?
I never understood what was going on with the image for Silence because it looked like a fish on top of a mouth, I just realized it's supposed to be a skeletal finger shooshing you.
Preistess of the Moon next!!! She's my favorite her and I want to see her breakdown. Also, something you didn't mention here, Searing arrows (and all arrow abilities including black arrows) can be used while entangled to keep auto attacking if you manual cast, which normally disables attacks. also trueshot has a lot of strange interactions, as it stacks with stat boost items, but not attack damage items, so an agility +6 will give more damage from trueshot, but claws of attack will not affect trueshot... etc. POTM next!!! Please!!
One more counter is to try and spin into low pop cost units if possible to minimize the impact of each Charm. Charming a gryphon for 150 mana is worth it, as charming anything smaller than rifleman is almost not worth it.
I think panda would be a cool next hero. Seeing combos with the ult would be interesting as it is rare to even see it, let alone practice with it and try to pull off something really cool.
She is great in 4v4 NE for sniping low hp units... you get an army of skellis very fast. I sometimes pair her with Hippo-Archer and Few druids in combination with POTM.
Not sure if it's a thing in the current version since I'm playing an old version of WC3 but if you charm a unit from the same race (ie undead vs undead and you charm a frost wyrm), you get its upgrade for free if the enemy has it.
There is one special interaction with the dark ranger ult. As said it pierce magic immune, so if you have a pit lord cast Doom on a target, while it will usully be impossible to save, casting Charm on the same unit will cancel the doom and give you a unit whithout the doom effect

It's simple. It's because simple men like this simple hero for very simple reasons.

Casting charm removes doom
It also removes drops from creeps and I think it changes their kill in some cases

1. Not only mechanical units, but also Spirit Walkers and Mountain Giants (with the Resistant Skin upgrade) are immune to Charm, as are Summons.

She is great in 4v4 NE for sniping low hp units... you get an army of skellis very fast.
I sometimes pair her with Hippo-Archer and Few druids in combination with POTM.
Firelord is my favourite hero, would love to see him soon.
I'm looking forward to all the fire puns during the intro.
Ey! My daily dose of Grubby! Cheers! (would love to see TC or SH next :3)
How about the Priestess of the Moon? She's a cool hero but her abilities are all over the map, so it'd be cool to see how to use her to her fullest.
Actually, only her Owl is all over the map 🤓

0:08 booba is bigger than reforged one

8:44 crow form... He said it like crowd without the d. Ouch
I know.. I saw GoT.. c-rooooooow the boat! not crow-d fund!!
Next hero? I'm fancying Demon Hunter, but the lore part might mean he needs to follow up the Death Knight.
I'd love to see Firelord or, my unfortunate favorite, the Crypt Lord.
Not sure if it's a thing in the current version since I'm playing an old version of WC3 but if you charm a unit from the same race (ie undead vs undead and you charm a frost wyrm), you get its upgrade for free if the enemy has it.
I want one of OGs race’s heroes next….maybe the Paladin or the Far seer.
