The Beast needs some love

from Demigod Forums

So, I know balancing hasn't really happened yet, but I'd like to just offer a hope that the Unclean Beast gets a little less wimpy in the next build.  Right now he just can't kill anything -- I've tried several games against Sedna, and she reliably chews him up in single combat, even if I equip him with all the combat-enhancing gear I can get early game.  His damage output just isn't enough to keep up against her healing abilities -- and once she gets a few levels of Pounce, she can knock him down to 20% HP just by getting in range.  So she gets total control of the map, which means more War Rank and XP, and the game is just about over.

I also played against the AI, which was dumb enough to let me level farther -- a fully leveled Beast is amazing (knocking down towers, solo, in about 5 seconds! o_O ), but human players won't let you get there and there isn't much you can do about it.  Maybe you could tone up his lower levels and town down the higher ones?

Yah, beast eventually gets strong, but currently he's useless until the game is over (either they will win becuase you can do nothing early game, or your team will win without your help by the time you get strong enough to make a difference).

 

However, this is a balance thing, so I'm not too worried that they'll eventually bring him up to par.

unclean beast is one of my favorite demigods its is i believe weak at start but as u continue in game and u take skill of 25% more attack speed and speed he becomes really powerfull only problem is that he deal most of his dmg with fast normal attacks that can be reduced by much armor. Also bestial wrath increase his dmg by 65% and he can do big dmg very fast.

Conclusion: unclean beast is a very good demigod fairly weak at start but when u reach a high lvl he can be devastating with fast and high dmg attacks. Also using a skills that does aoe and kill creeps its very useful for xp, against demigods with high hp armor and dmg is almost inpossible to kill them at start u must avoid trouble with them till u are strong enough or think a high dmg combo to kill them

From playing him a couple of times i must say he dies way to fast. Even Regulus seems to have more staying power, mostly because minions can't touch him (crossbow AE kills them), while the Beast can take some damage in melee.

Also Rook beats him up every time.

Also also, a demigod needs to be fun from the first second, not bloom in late game. I dont want to hate the first 10 minutes in a 20 minutes game, when the other demigods are fun right from the start.

Just my humble opinion. v_v

A good UB is good. He struggles early game but once he is past that, its worth it :D Nothing wrong with imo.

Rook beats everything and anything up everytime.

Personally, I think he needs more staying power. They rebalanced his abilities a little bit, and he can use them more often now (IMHO his drain was a real two-eged sword before beta 2D as it cost so much). And when he can use his Bestial Wrath he just mows other Demigods down...

But until you can max out Bestial Wrath, the Unclean Beast just feels very underwhelming.

The struggle part is unneccessary IMO. Make him fun from second one.

One part is his aura, its to costly in terms of health for the effect. It blooms only late game, when regeneration gear is available. Make it easier on health for the lower levels.
