The base damage is good for an aoe, but it also heals for half, I wouldn't be surprised if they nerfed this spell tbh. However, once you get a bonus pip from your deck, scarecrow is also very powerful to use on turn 2
I doubt they will need it. It’s not relating to pvp. Plus even if it’s nerf it can get updated through spellements. That’s the reason they have it in first place. Most stuff that get nerf relate to pvp or higher ranking spells so they can make shadow spells and make older spells useful. When they do it they also need the enemies. That’s too much work so I doubt it.
The healing path was actually buffed (besides the change to drain enchantments). It used to gain much less damage per tier, to the point where the damage path seemed like the way to go.
[*With 100% Power Pip Chance and starting with 5 pips*] R1 = Round 1 R1-> SoF - 1 pip(s) R2-> Empower - 5 pip(s) R3-> SoF - 3 pip(s) R4-> Empower - 8 pip(s) R5-> Scarecrow? heal and deal every other round and build up to a scarecrow; shield or debuff when necessary? can't think up a scenario where this would be useful but I concocted this little sequence that MIGHT find use in PvE somehow
I use it all the time. It’s great. If want a quick heal etc and if want damage can make it do more than meteor if update. It’s not craftable yet cause probably they don’t feel like it’s needed since cna craft deer knight. It’s something you got to really want. Grendel amends is crafrable and rest . This one is spellements only . It’s basically something you can have if you willing to get it but it’s not needed but it is good. It’s not like something just to want because you won’t have regret getting it . I love death . One my favorite schools along with fire ice and myth. I like how death can heal and hit By what you are saying I think they won’t make spellements farmable . I think this is the only spell non farmable. You just sealed its faith. That’s why I took 2 dollar per month route for free spellements a week. Hopefully I reach the max update lol that’s lot of spellement
@@KaiserNoah true. But hats distant in the future. They have tc for it it .Maybe craftable in the future but that’s usually couple months or a year or more. Away. Hopefully it does cause it’s super helpful. It really amplify what it means to be death even for low pips. Keeping its identity even in low aoe.
Oh ship of fools is sick... But mans is broke... so i'm just gonna stick to my dragoon amulet/cthu if first turn shad... Or I can just blade into a crow and just call it a day c: Great video though! Can't wait till ship is farmable or craftable. I just made rat on life and I didn't think it would be great but my god it's pog af, maybe when I get my hands on ship of fools when it goes f2p.. I'll feel the exact same way but great video!!! Deer knight had it's days..
You forgot to mention that deer knight’s first hit doesn’t even get full enchant because it’s a dot. For example Ship of fools (275) Epic is 575, and Deer knight is 450 in epic
I did the math to calculate if tier 1 ship of fools is balanced or not, so here’s what I did: 105 (Enchanced Death DPP) X 4 (Pips) = 420. 420x0.25 (AoE decreased damage) = 315. 315 x 22/25 (Drains) = 277.2. I used the death shadow enchanced DPP for Ship of fools because ship of fools is considered a Lore spell (Enchanced)
On top of being an efficient first hit AoE, putting a sun enchantment on ship would make its base damage comparable to scare crow with 3 pips less to the cost. And if you have the spellements in the shared bank, ship of fools would definitely make content significantly easier for death wizards.
i get that its nice cause of it being cheap but my cosmic necromancer just uses lulu the damage is nice, i would like this spell for smaller fights though. and headless does more damage as a 4 pip as well.
@@DrunkPanda239so i put my deer knight down for a little, but honestly speaking those are my biggest weakness because of tower shield from ice mobs and death shield from life mobs, i use scarecrow to kill immediately but I might honestly put it back on, that or stock up on pierce TC
Still new to the game. I can see SoF beig OP for early game, but in late game isn't it better to use scarecrow? It's damage is so much higher. I know the cost is like 3 more pips, but mostly you blade/shield yourself and by that time you should be able to use it.
The thing is, most lower health enemies in the late game don't have enough health to warrant using scarecrow. Obviously against bosses, yes. But It better to use SoF on street enemies then scarecrow in regard to time saving.
@@KaiserNoahI see. I'm level 52 and questing in wintertusk and there I really need to use scarecrow, even for street mobs who mostly have above 1k health and with 1 blade I do 1.1k dmg with scarecrow if I don't crit
@@LordNox07 But that’s exactly it, you’re level 52. BUT at level 56 you’ll get winter tusk crafted gear and suddenly everything is better. Having >70 damage and 200 crit is helpful.
Its for sure good, but I'd say deer knight is comparable You say the life steal is really good, yet also that its a mob killing spell so you really don't need to worry about getting health back And 1/3 of the overtime will be used before the enemy can hit again so its more like 300 + 90 damage (if you ignore feints, which you really shouldn't use for mob fights)
Are we comparing to new deer knight or old? Old deer knight its hands down better since it has heal back. Heal back is useful because it limits the amount of potions you have to use after the fight, and any potential problems you could have in the fight. A flat 600 with buffs is better than 473 + an extra bit over time in almost any case especially since it costs a pip less.
I wish there was another way to get the spellements. I spent almost 11000 crowns and only got 5. I can complete the fire spell....and I don't even use a fire wizard or any fire spells
I agree on your points mostly, but if you are confronted with a -80% death shield a frontal attack will do nothing, that is where deer knight is still relevant. I know you are an impatient kid and cannot just sit back and enjoy the game, but sometimes you need to watch the paint dry. Whether you use Ship of Fools or Deer Knight does not matter, the enemy will go down. It all does damage, just not in one swift hit sometimes.
@@KaiserNoah Oh okay. Honestly i don’t really understand much about spellements, why is ship of fools a spellement rather than a normal card drop? Is there any difference?
@@KaiserNoah haha i feel that i have all maxed pirates and a max life but i want another one if your ever down let me know i would love to stream and do a walkthrough to max with you
I guess it's the 2nd best 4 pip spell in game? Loremaster being 1st? Loremaster is a pvp spell though and ship of fools is pve. By the way I think definitely deer knight is better than ship of fools in pvp because in 1v1 pvp vampire is better than ship of fools. The deer knight overtime is also an advantage in pvp. Also ship of fools costs real money and deer knight is free to get at level 25 (deer knight jewel). So for a starting death wizard deer knight is your first and only aoe until level 48.
My issue with this spell though is that even with Epic (assuming you have not upgraded this with spellements at all) its still weaker than an unenchanted Scarecrow even if it is 3 pips less.
Do you have a problem with meteor strike then? Or tempest? The spell is consistent with how every spell in the game works. Its designed to do decent damage for a low-pip hit all spell. Designed to go into small decks, not kill malistaire with.
@@KaiserNoah hmm ok guess i'll satisfy with my deerknight, and btw are spellements on general only available from packs? they all seem ridiculously locked behind a paywall
@@KaiserNoah dang. I got off easy. I’m usually lucky with pack spells. I used to get a spell on my balance on second pack lol. Ship of fools took a bit and eat spin took longest. But ship of fools I think 30k or less

I honestly think they will nerf it, but as of now its ridiculous. Scarecrow is definitely a good alternative though!

And on top of that, they still buffed it
I wish this wasn't a pay to win spell. It's dumb. I do have it upgraded to the second to last tier and it took WAY too many crowns.
Video idea- put me in the video title and only me only me fir the whole video :p
Do you think the Ship of fools recipe will be easier or harder to get than the deer knight recipe? or the same.
I don’t think it will be a recipe, likely the spellements will drop from a boss, and the spell will be learned that way.
@@KaiserNoah Oh okay. Honestly i don’t really understand much about spellements, why is ship of fools a spellement rather than a normal card drop? Is there any difference?
Spelements allow for you to upgrade the spell, and also makes it a bit RNG whether you get the spell or not.
