[Balance] Nerf the fast moving Rook

from Demigod Forums

Who was the idiot that thought that a huge bunch of rocks could outrun a Tiger this needs to change. Rook is big and should be a slow moving Tank not a Horse on steriods!!!

i dont think that here are any idiots, especially not in the category of people which could change anything of the problem you are complaining about...

rook should be slow of course, hes a high damage and life tank, but there is no need for offences ;)

lol but yes he need to be slower because right now he is just too good.

Maybe certain speed enhancing items could give more HP for tanks instead of speed? A Rook optimized for speed really looks a little bit ridiculous...  |-)

You like being offensive, don´t you?

It was a joke, of course he needs to be slower.

In the game I always here a good offence is a good defence

Do try and keep things civil, HorseRadish.

My thoughts are that Rook should have a lower base speed than other demigods (in the same way that I think some demigods should have different base stats from others; UB and Sedna should have higher base speed, etc). I also think that when Rook uses Hammer Slam he should have reduced speed for a short period of time to allow his target to run away if they aren'y immediately destroyed. That would add some need to time the hammer slam correctly.

That said, there's no reason that a Rook player shouldn't be able to buy speed increasing items when everyone else can. Putting his base speed lower would ensure that everyone else at least has the chance to be faster than him though.
