He was responding to Milskidasith actually. I do generally agree that exact stats aren't always a good indicator at this time, but I'd at least tip my hat to someone with 100 games vs someone with 30.

Reply to Anti-Pestocide: An oak Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

You can't tell if it is a minion build or not... because while it has minions, it is not a 'minion build'. Minions are there to pump up soul power, as well as provide a little extra damage and vision. Instead of needing shield three, I do 60 to 80 more damage per swing, not counting a little extra minion damage. Oak's minions are actually substantially stronger than anyone elses (In terms of damage) so even just having them around while the enemy tries to AA you will often greatly inc

Staying in a lane though is more than just gold, it is also war score and opportunity for further kills. It is pushing a lane, taking down towers, etc. You are sacrificing all of these things by dying, just to get a little more gold and XP. Maybe you haven't noticed, but the team that wins isn't always the one that has more levels and a bit more gold. It's the one that kills the citadel first. While they often go hand in hand, risky strategies to get a fairly mediocre adva

Reply to Suicidal kills: The dos and don'ts. in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

You are comparing the gold cost of you killing them, to them assisting against you. You should be comparing it to them running from the lane, and you living. You stay in the lane, you get more xp and gold from that, and with your team fielding an additional DG for that time (while the other runs back to the crystal) you are more likely to cap flags, and get beneficial 2v1 or 3v2 situations. Always have some kind of exit strategy, or you are asking to get dominated.

Reply to Suicidal kills: The dos and don'ts. in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

The problem isn't necessarily the gold/exp difference, but that far too often you only THINK you are going to get the kill. If that guy has a 750 hit point health pot they pop, after luring you into their towers... then all you do is die, and pay for the pot (And then some). Pot is bad for you, mkay?

Reply to [Guide] Regulus Mine Hybrid in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I had been assuming you got both, getting just one is pretty reasonable. Though I admit that I often opt for just the Boots though, but I also go with Blood of the fallen, and eventually land a heart of life. So these are pretty different builds in general.

Reply to Speed Kills, or should I say the lack of Speed? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I, and others have had simliar ideas. Here's my build by the way: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/355597 Also, effects that slow often also do damage, meaning they are more cost effective than ones that just increase speed. For example The mark has a crippling -40% speed at level 10, but it also does 600 damage. It's hard to get that big of a boost from speed items, and even if you did... that's all you get, speed.

Reply to [Guide] Regulus Mine Hybrid in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Your progression is very weird. Mine 3 is such a huge upgrade that I can't imagine this build getting the pretty mediocre AF 2 instead of it at level 7. Similarly you get AF 3 at level 9, and so do not get mark rank 2 until level 11. Mark 2 is awesome sauce, especially with shrapnel mines, whereas AF gives.... +25 damage. Lastly I agree that both Vlemish and Plenor is too much. Yeah mana is nice, but you should be either a bit more careful in your ability useage, or

It also just might be that your temperment is just not suited to Rook. I know some players who are very good, at say TB, who just don't have the right mindset to play Erebus. (Good at micromanaging nukes, bad at knowing when to chase.... and how to come back alive)

Reply to Unclean Beast: Spit vs Ooze in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

So, the heart of your argument transitive is that you think that: There are multiple roles that could be played. Unclean beast fills different roles between hybrid and pure ooze The effectiveness of the role played by pure ooze is on par with that of hybrid, even if the roles are different. In the abstract, that sounds like a fair line of reasoning. Being the contrary fellow that I am, I can't help but point out that a 'tank' role is signifi

[quote] You could have used that money to buy hauberk of life instead of vlemish, which gives +600 health and +10 hps. If you add stats into it the hp difference would be around 1000. [/quote] The 500 hit difference I quoted was representing a Hauberk of life (Though you are correct, it is 600 not 500). I corrected myself in the run down I did later on. You don't get a boost of 500 hit points simply by not running spit. If you mean to suggest 10 HPS is t

Reply to Unclean Beast: Spit vs Ooze in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

So, I feel the arguments that you cannot stack as much health with hybrid to be a good deal moot. You are talking about like 500 hit points, not like 2k. The only item you should really need with a spit build that you wouldn't otherwise, is probably a Vlemish faceguard. Items that give HP for the same gold amount give about 500. If you compare 500 hp to 1500 damage from level 4 spit, I think the difference is really against you. Also, transitive says it requires team

Lord-Orion, you are spot on, sell your precious items, and tech up your citadel. I actually pulled the opposite of this meneuvre a couple nights ago, where my team was getting pounded by the enemy. I sold my items and teched up to Giants with multiple health and damage upgrades, bought some teleport scrolls and locks, and we won. Remember that the best way to push an advantage is not to just get items, especially not 2v2. Your citadel, and high end troops can win the gam

So, dare I ask, what does Pure Ooze get that hybrid doesn't? More inner beast and diseased clause? This seems like the equivalent of the AA regulus who doesn't get mines or mark. If you do not have item advantage over the opponent, your lack of dps just hurts too much.

But from the description it looks like you have to be in active combat to get your mana while you can activate EoM whenever you need.

Reply to Unclean Beast: Spit vs Ooze in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Ooze doesn't typical drain your health by much more than the effect of it is decreasing the damage you take, especially the further into the game you get. Doing 50 damage to yourself, and decreasing incoming AA damage by 40% is almost always keeping you alive, and not killing you. Therefore assuming the you NEED to stack HP to run ooze is a mistake (Rather, Stacking HP is often a good idea regardless). Since Ooze lets you increase your power without needing more mana, I think it

Reply to Strategy Requests for this Setup (Domination / Oak, Reg vs 2xUB) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Yeah, oak should handle this pretty well. Shield vs two UB is almost an 'I win' move. Blood + priests Negates most of the value of spit early on (unless you fight well poisoned). I actually think this is one of the easier setups to win now that I think about it. Oak shielding Regulus, healing both, while having snipe and mines for 2v2's or 2v1's, it really ends up a good scenario.

Reply to Unclean Beast - Best Favor Item: Essence of Magic ! in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

See, blade of the serpent can be used asynchronously with the abilities you want to cast again, meaning you can, literally, use it every 45 seconds, just to get mana. Essence requires you to have the mana need at the moment of casting. I guess you could spit on a tower for free, to maximize the value... but how useful is that really?
