@Blovski: Well, he is very simmillar to JJ, but I wouldn't say he's sub-par. JJ's got nothing as remotely retarded as Cleansing, for one thing. But they are very simmilar and the reason JJ wins out, honestly, is the wheytwut which I see as the only real problem with JJ. GG Goblin or JJ Goblin is pretty much a stylistic difference, allthough I find GG to be more of a toolbox and a much better guy pop in for some utility. He also does give you a skullpicker with 5 beads, and also another one if you reach level 11, that's nothing to sneeze at.
GG gameplay does have a very nice transition of what you focus at what stage before you ultimately become the blob of doom, though, it's not about piling on the beads, but playing and timing his boons right on the way to being a god. I find it very rewarding tbh.
@chandl34: I think a GG gobbo of some sort (that is various kinds of them, GG Gobbo and JJ Gobbo is what wins, class is an afterthought there most of the time) could handle Vicious VT. Vicious Steel for sure, Dragon isles probably, Demonic library also quite likely (VT only makes it the way it was before the big global nerfage tbh), Namtars Lair I'm not sure... I went dwarf berserker regular GT with GG, not easy to get the max out of it, but it still worked, and GG's a killer in VGT anyway, not sure about vicious.
Heck, absolution + enlightment with a pactmaker on board is complete bullshit, on a goblin even more so. Post enlightment consensus into scholars pact will likely beat anything if you know what you're doing...
