FYI: The Secret Weapon bonus is actually based on a background timer, and is not really tied to whether or not your weapon is out. e.g. If you throw your hammer behind you at spawn and then immediately fly to a location so your hammer has to fly across the map before returning to you, the bonus will expire long before your hammer actually returns to you.

Hey Pally, I saw your community post and had a chance to react here first, hope you and your family are doing well. Take the time you need, I'll be back to watch what you do. Best to you and your family.
@@MittensOnlywhile you’re not wrong, the issue I see is that these quick stomps sort of defeat the purpose of the video itself, trying to show off a build and how it plays. If he records super quickly, then he isn’t playing as many matches and getting good opportunities to really show the build off all that much as some games don’t even get the 16 talent. That said, playing exclusively with randoms doesn’t guarantee anything different. Really it just takes more games played, almost like he’d need to record across a whole week for enough games to properly show things off. At the same time, he’s not making a HOTS dedicated channel here and can’t commit the time. Not really a fix here that I’m seeing.
pet build: frequent flyer -> hammer gains -> boomerang -> blast ->sustained winds ->crippling hammer ->nexus frenzy you get all the best AA talents. you give up secret weapon bursty AA's for waveclear and the debuff for spell armor which lets you still delete squishy heros with Q+W+R while you auto down their frontliners. lategame with nexus frenzy is bonkers against almost everything, if they pick up evasion or if your on a map with a ton of chokes where they need to fight you i am not against call of the wildhammer (blast upgrade) just to fully 100-0 squishies with Q+R
For some reason not all videos in the Deep Dive Playlist are visible for me - only 28 out of 32. It says "4 unavailable videos are hidden". For example the second Falstad video (Boomerang). Tried VPN with different regions (EU and US) but that doesn't change anything, either. Edit: those 4 videos seem to be set to "private", but I can find and watch them via the normal UA-cam search, just not in the playlist...
Honestly, Pally's videos are the only thing that still gives me hope about this game after how Blizzard has been gutting it for years. Love the vids, Pally, keep up the good work!
Yeah, you gotta do a Shock and Awe build, Pally :D It's not like the most powerful builds, but just the prospect of fully resetting it's cooldown even once is pretty fun :) Just go Q-talents at 7 and 16 to support it and you're set :) The rest can be whatever, even AA
I prefer to take cooldowns go twice as fast while tailwind is up. lets you hammer auto attack combo much more often, seems to do more damage than the bonus % health.
1:05 "Both air Muradan and ground Muradan are here". I look and see Muradan has a jetpack and is clearly hovering over the ground. Excuse me good sir but I beleve you mean there are two air Muradans.😂
Although I love these deep dives (even though I've never heard of HOTS until seeing your channel). I'm hoping for another Baldur's Gate coop play-through.
Hey pally just saw your community post, hope you and your grandma are doing well, sending love to you and yours❤
Yes. Best wishes to you and your family, Pally.
Have a good vibe General G4!!!!
This.
So mighty gust is now called hinterland blast and hinterland blast is called shock and awe :D
I legitimately shook my head and laughed when he said that. Classic pally. XD
@@botcatmanall game too! He normally corrects himself haha
so what's Shock and Awe called now!

These deepdive videos really do add a bit of happiness to my day.
I remember your old zero stress falstad build originally got me to try playing falstad. Made me really love the hero.

This has been an excellent series. Pally HotS is best HotS.

I'm so glad you took Shock & Awe, it's one of those "fun" ults, where you try to get as close to a full reset as possible.
I kinda miss when Pally would play with random ppl and get tilted. Games with Fox/rebelboy are almost always one sided
lol, get rekt MattyP! Not even a mention.
He's up there too, but I remember fox/rebelboy as the first regular teammates
I agree, but he needs to get content out consistently and cannot rely on the fickle nature of quick match to produce quality videos

I'm doing my part and participating in the comments. Good work Pally.
Another great vid, Pally. Hope everything turns out okay.

literally this is my own interaction with this game anymore, i straight up stopped playing Hots but i do love these videos
12:45 anyone else notice in his ETC deep dive that this exact situation came up with him as ETC and he killed the falstad? 😂
Warm wishes for you and your family in this trying time! Hope your grandma is getting better, and take all the time you need! Lots of love from NC!
Shock and awe + gravaton surge = Crispy taco with extra cheese!
14:02 - Hamburgains 🍔😆
He really did say that :D
i do wonder how much pally played falstad far back in the day, as Shock and Awe was renamed to Hinterland Blast 9 years ago.
0:35 who on this planet thinks that 75% bonus damage isn't a lot XD
"Hinterland Blast is not the desired ultimate in most cases, in most cases you're gonna want to use Hinterland Blast" - MFP 2024 :P
When I saw a 15 min vid, I knew it was gonna be a smash
The aa build is quite fun. Difficult of the enemy team is dive heavy but still.
Finally convinced to get air muradin as my next hero. Ggwp
Yeah, you gotta do a Shock and Awe build, Pally :D It's not like the most powerful builds, but just the prospect of fully resetting it's cooldown even once is pretty fun :)

Looks like Zero Stress Falstad 2.0

Where do you see % pickrates on talent upgrades?
The real secret weapon of Falstad is actually Pally's patented no stress Falstad build
He might not be your dad, but he is your false dad
Holy cow 5 level lead. This was a stomp against noobs
Although I love these deep dives (even though I've never heard of HOTS until seeing your channel). I'm hoping for another Baldur's Gate coop play-through.
B-B-BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 0 STRESS FALSTAD BUILD?!!!
I miss the crispy taco...😂
When do we get a deep dive of Valla?
we got ya
They had memebeam, seven sided strike and sulfur smash. Three garbage tier ults and the other team was so bad they couldn't overcome that.
Stress free Falstad build?
Now do 0 stress Falstad 🥲
It's not the no stress falstad build but it's still nice
How many players play HoTs ?? I wonder if it is worth playing again 😊
maybe Stukov next?
Tyrande next ?
Is it too soon to ask for a Valeera deep dive?
Where's more golden rings?
Pretty please
This game didn't really show much because it was such a steamroll of the other team :/
:)
