Damn, it's just so fucking clear from this stream that the combat in IE really sucks. Look at him tapping space all the time. Each tap should have been a normal combat turn.

I'm not talking about the fact that he loses, but on how this combat is played out. It being real-time has no function whatsoever, which is clear because he has to pause all the time regularly and fast. (And that it's unclear when attacks happen, when you're in "range" etc)

The thing is he still hasn't rested to gain and memorize all his spells form his level up. He's just not even preparing at all.

But see, he doesn't actually have to pause that much. That's what I've kept saying and saying in my defense of RTwP. Poor/unexperienced RTwP players routinely "over-pause", ruining the experience for themselves.

Good strategy is worth a hundred pauses.

Guys... I don't see how he is going to make it through this battle. How embarrasing would it be if he never got further than this?

Again he said he hasn't played this in years. This is a rather fucking tough game, and even more so with the 3.5ED rules.

Well, how embarrassing would it be? I want him to be a good producer, not to be good at IWD.

He needs cooldowns. He is making a point for all of us who opposed them.

Ah. So the two hours it took to create his party was not a fluke.
