54:31 I think Vanessa's Amulet was a great pick right there. 4 Bees with 30% crit is more damage than 5 Bees without it. And your Fixer Upper gains some free crit off of it too! I feel like once the reroll costs more than like 4-5 gold, anything that improves your board should be taken. Otherwise the Dig Site is just a "Dig Yourself Into a Hole"-Site.
53:20 I wonder if that Bill Dozer would have been worthwhile. Reduces your cd of your bees to 4.8 seconds (4.2 when upgraded), and scales when you use all of them. You become less defensive, but more aggresive and get some damage scaling
If you had a 3 space item that does close to 600 dmg on day 7 every 6 seconds. Wouldn't you exchange it for the 96 shield and +25 dmg every 3 seconds? That would have been the extra bees. 44:44. Or let's put it that way, even a diamond cannon would have been worse in that space.
@dtly50 the analogue to a beekeeper would be, what, an aquarist? the new england aquarium has a page about how most species of piranha are vegetarian and even the ones that aren't, like their red-bellied piranhas, are not normally a threat to humans
Oh nooo! The bees! This and the dinos are my favorite builds. I wish they would put some more medium properties that do stuff in the game because ATM is the only one I can think of. Some small properties would also be fun but maybe that would break too easily.
I am normally excited for the patches, but I really was thinking that this one may have gutted Pyg too much while also bizarrely wiffing on things like Barrel and Bellelista. Yet, when I jumped on to do a test run and see how bad the damage was, I immediately got a 10 win, fairly easy win on him. Hard to tell if that means he is okay or that is more just so many others still trying to force old builds though. silver Force Field (shield for x and then damage equal to your shield) (4 second cooldown) silver Rocket boots (haste adjacent items for 2 seconds every four) (4 second cooldown) gold Shielded Regal blade at 1300 damage/1300 shield (3 second cooldown) diamond Phonograph (reduce item on the left's cooldown by 50%) I still suspect Pyg is in a rough spot, especially with Fort being shockingly removed as a buffer item which was critical to run anything even a little slow to instead be a...pay off? (assuming you can survive for more than 10 to 12 seconds due to slows/freezes). I hope that is more likely than I imagine it will be. Even if this is a step back from what may have been the most balanced patch so far, new patches are always good for keeping the gameplay fresh if nothing else.
I mean, 40 gold is a bit less value than a visit to the Thieves Guild's treasury, but not by much. I don't think that makes Thug, Treasure Turtle and Lord of the Wastes much less desirable to fight.
The Beehive should spread all the enchants to the bees imo, would be fine as a reward for struggling through that build.

Big disagree on that second statement. The 30% amulet though was probably the right play, I was thinking the same thing
Had the delight of coming up against this yesterday. Safe to say, I got rolled :D

🎵The bees are back in tooown~

Awh yea, give 'em the Bees-ness
This makes me want to see Bees Vs. Bees.
Reckon it'd sound even sillier than late game Dooley Vs. Dooley.
47:30 Why not put Shielded on the biggest Bee? Wouldn't that have been more shielding overall?
it seems strange to me that bees are friends when piranhas are not
Bees are nature's helpers. A piranha is just an appetite that evolved to become mobile.
I've seen bee keepers gently hold bees with no protection.
I have not seen anyone dive in the Amazon to play with piranhas.

The Bees are back in town

NOT THE BEES

It's hard to scale faster than fire.
Hmm I think you needed more bees.
Actually though shielded bee may have been the choice if it works
He really should've been putting the enchantments on the bees
I would have totally enchanted the bees, and give them a nickname accordingly!
Behot, Betoxic, Becold, Besafe, Behealed, Befast, Beslow... Etc
Honey bunny > honey bees. Makes sense to me. ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎
