@@generalharness8266 If you put the Guardian Phoenix on the lord you can get the Loremasters to the cap more easily, that is true, but I'd keep the lord for mobility and not with the Loremasters. Also, anything above 90% is wasted as that is where resistances are maxed, and Guardian doesn't stack (nor are there any Lords with Guardian, afaik, certainly not Archmages). Oh, and Diamond Guardian Phoenix only gives 8% to the one carrying it, the 12% only applies to all other units in the army. - And of course, making one Lord really tanky is quite easy with the HE because of Folariath's robe (and on a mage, the attack doesn't matter that much), but I was wondering how to get the full army of Loremasters to 90% without that. - Though I guess if one Loremaster is Resilient, instead of resistant, for Guardian but then has less physical resistance, Folariath's robe would work a lot better on him than wasting Shooting Star.

@@otwk I agree guardian trait does not stack but if you have two heros/lords with it in the same battle they both get the 15% benefit (if close) There are lords (Archmage) with Guardian its under the trait Protected (not Protective), it gives 20% missile & magic + guardian trait. Also ifs its a magic lord you are better off keeping them with the lore masters to punish the blobs. So again its 30 (trait) + 10 (sentinel) + 15 (guardian) + 12 (Diamond on lord) = 67% physical 10 (Teclis) + 8 (student of hoeth skill) = 18% ward. 18+63 = 85% Only need 5% from armor or amulet. Which is pretty doable.

the yvresse faction gives each hero something like the dark elf "name" whenever they reach a certain level which helps in these scenarios too sentinel for example gave 10% physical resistance and 8 melee defence

staunch line of loremasters

On the topic of the forbidden rod. If you have ward save or magic resist above 50% it deals 0 damage, try it out.

Tanking stuff is exactly what I use Loremasters for. But now that I've seen what they can do in a group...oh boy.

Legend learned something? 11/10 doomstack 👍

I am really enjoying this series!

You've inspired me to revive an old High elf campaign I left unfinished just so I can make a Loremaster doom stack :)

It's basically an extended (and a bit anime) D&D party at this point :D

Loremaster have the unique synergy with HE by providing earth blood for army without Life mage, allowing you to run any other more offensive centered lore you prefer while still able to heal your dragon/lord/hero. Spirit Leech is also pretty good for single unit sniping. They are also quite tanky. If you do not run resilient trait you can also look for ones with innate arcane conduit, this allows the Loremaster to serve as an extra mana battery. I have never played Legendary so I can't comment on that but I like them a lot in Very Hard games.

I actually like Loremasters a lot. I usually go Archmage of light or fire so I want a tank and healing in my army, plus a little extra winds of magic.

Loremasters of hoeth with arcane conduit trait are pretty useful. Coupled with an arch mage general you get 2 arcane conduits from the get go.

Loved this, any chance of an Eltharion ME campaign to get all these doomstacks rolling across the map??

This was somehow stupid strong even with the constant winds blocking. Neat.

Salute to that guy with that glorious testing campaign set up.

Legend: don't hit a moving target with that Prince: I will

i mean stacking them is nice for having some fun in the endgame, but i find them pretty useful in other regards. trait : disiple buffs your caster lord ( and you dont really need more then 1 per army with the trait) conductor adds a acrane conduit to this loremaster, pretty nice for armys that deal alot of there dmg by magic and theree iis one that give +12 MD to your phoenix units (+ some other stuff ) just 3 of those will turn a rank 9 phoenix into a pretty durable unit that doesnt mind to be in long melee

they are quite badass, they also gain like 30 or 40 or something melee defence from their skilltree as well... making them quite hard to hit , on top of being small targets, and all their melee swings wiht the 2hand swords do aoe damage as well, a stack of loremasters of hoeth wipe out infantry like you wouldnt believe..... and single entities as well, since they can all gang up on them with ease

im really surprised you dont find loremasters that useful in your armies man. i always have one in my infantry-based armies as i feel they really are the best HE unit to lead/support them into a fight. hitting power and durability of a legit lord, but with all the supporting spells of a spellcaster. they're amazing

I've read "swordmasters of Hoeth doomstack" I was wondering how that could be a thing XD

They can get 18% ward save with no equipment as well as 30(trait)+10(sentinel)+15(guardian)+8(diamond item) physical before equipment.

A fire wiz playing with the gert clumps arround the swordmasters would have a hellova lota fun, if it could get in close enough.

I'd say this one is weaker than the Vampire/Tor Gaval ones just due to lack of mobility. You had to deal with Luminarks using the Lord (which took some finesse) and when that one got separated it took a while to bring him back.

need LoH vs KoTG doomstack to see which would be the better 10/10 doomstack. My bet is on KoTG but then again, needs to see the Lord commanding :D

Nice one of these days I'd like to show off my handmaiden Doom stack

I was thinking about this stack, however with the medic trait instead, I've had a loremaster basically hold the line and win a game for me with that trait so 19 of them would be nuts.

We've been telling you for months that the Loremaster stack is amazing. The hero is stupidly durable, has access to a good spell and passive selection, and can get a 20% base ward save (10% from their melee line and 10% from one of Teclis' skills). Combo that with the Resilient trait and an item that gives them another 50% physical resistance and you have a super durable army that is so difficult to stop.

There was a Luminark at the bottom of your stack after the other left the battlefield when you complained about the debuff not dropping off.

I guess Malus, transformed, with the aid of the SoK would have some fun there. Backed up by 19 Masters

Haha hey he did do it! I remember him in Chaqx

that sigh at 17:19 i felt that

i think u can build this stack with some perfect vigor traits mixed while waiting for resistance trait. as long as the influence farm is going it shouldn't be hard i think.

i never recruit Loremaster of Hoeth too unless it's Fecund. Im going to try this stack too haha

I love how this guy is using the empire as a lab rat, empire armies do remind me of the skaven somewhat

Sometimes I recruit Loremasters with the trait which gives additional Arcane Conduit because there is never enough WoM. Though I still believe that they're the least useful of all HE heroes. Like Skaven's chief, but more useful

Huh, campaign-wise I think loremasters are great. They're an infantry anchor and with a little investment they have decent spells and are very sturdy. A good unit to leave on the front lines while your more mobile heroes and generals fly around and snipe stuff.

I like to have a Loremaster in every my army except the ones led by Alariel and Teclis, They are pretty tanky and can heal.

Yes-Yes, Torturer of hoeth strikes again

This battle was never going to be difficult, but one thing Legend didn't do was spam Foe-Seeker. It gives vigour, and, due to how gaining vigour works, doesn't reduce vigor when it wears off (unlike the speed buff, which goes away when the duration is over, ofc). This means it's basically free vigour, which does help out in these massive melee grinds when everyone's Exhausted. Plus, as everyone has it and it's on the same cooldown, you can just select them all and click the button - unlike the micro-heavy individual abilities like Helm of Discord.

That got to be the most powerful doomstack. I can't think of any amry comp that can beat it.

The body piles. My god.

Does anyone know why the 7th Loremaster has a different portrait?

This is one reason why the Asür are tied with The Lizardmen for my favorite Warhammer race.

What about archer spam to counter? Fast missiles?

could add some arcane pheonix units, which you can heal, a resistant handmaiden and a couple loremasters that buff phoenixes. then you’re not farming one trait

i cant believe it, is just... damn...

I like the LOH, they are an unappreciated unit. I can understand why they aren't as popular as most people would just get a noble for melee or a mage for casting. But, the LOH a pretty good anti-infantry unit with ward save, armor-piercing, and providing magic reserve. Good all around unit actually. Plus, since they made changes to lords and heroes on foot, they are much more viable.

You don't need all them of them being resilient while farming traits, you can get vigorous too which gives perfect vigour and 15% ward save (better than unbrekable and 20% phisical resistance).

What I am curious about is the total ward save, physical resist, and magic resist because I think I saw one of these that had 37% Ward save and 59% magic resist (functionally 96% magic resist) and with a minimum 10/20% physical resist getting physical resist to either 50 or 60%. Basically anything is strong if you effectively double or more it's hitpoints.
