Heart of life has been moved to the artifact shop and its cooldown timer has been double. The effect has been increased. For reference. So, it got stronger and moved to artifact shop, but we don't know if that increases the cost, or how much stronger it is. By stronger I mean Effect. I think this is the right decision, since it may make the item even better, but puts it at a point in the game where it is not as disruptive. I am hoping

[quote who="pseudomelon" reply="22" id="2254010"]Interestingly, the user manual actually states that you gain XP every time a creep comes through the portal on your side. However, it doesn't appear to work in-game. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or was just taken out. Strange.[/quote] It only works when you have captured enemy starting portals. Then I'm pretty sure you get XP when guys come out of them. This is part of why catapult rush + flag lock at level 8 can be so devestating. Someo

Yeah, if I play Oak I always get a totem. Mainly because I first buy a monk idol, and that last little bit of money might as well be a ward. Often later on I end up ditching it, or using it, just so that I have another useable item slot. Still though, it is good gank protection.

Reply to Stardock/GPG please don't listen to the noobs and make this game easy mode! in Demigod Demigod Forums

OP Is completely wrong. There are two types of information in a game: Visible, and invisible, and there is a strict line between them. One could argue there is some middle ground, like when an enemy starts to cast a spell, but for the most part there is just information you should see, and information you shouldn't. The entire point of a UI in a game, is to present all visible data to the player in a reasonable manner. This is because it is information they have a right to know

Reply to Blood of the Fallen vs Mard's Hammer (Excel inside) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Why do people always compare vs beast? Beast has the highest starting armor in the game, so gets the greatest advantages out of HP boosting items. Compare, say, Reg to Reg too, or rook to rook. Also, why the additional items other than the base item? Just because they are common? I don't think it is bad info per se, but you should at least include a pure blood vs pure Mard's. Lastly, and I do like to bring this up a lot, but Attack bon

Reply to Shot through the Heart: Regulus Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Yeah, I'm not sure. Mines are really good in group encounters, and add some burst to your damage. You are also less item dependant with them. They are also the most consistent 'strong' slow effect. No random proc, no need for them to use an ability. Even shooting pretty quick, it takes a fair amount of time ot equal out to the 1350 damage rank 4 mines does. Might be worth a try however.

Reply to What's your favorite Favor Item to use? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I almost never take anklet. Speed deficits are most noticeable when you are running away from a combat that you are losing. Getting a favor item that lets you lose less combats is very often better. (Blood, Mards for instance). The items that give AoE healing are both pretty decent, if used well. Nothing like an extra +1000 Health in burst every 45 seconds to help win battles... and when it effects allies too, it can be amazing.

Reply to How can a QoT counter a mine spam/snipe regulus? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Spend 150 gold on three Eyes, and drop one whenever you are near Reg. The trick then is to just make sure he doesn't grenade-mine you. Use your minions to as good effect as possible, and realize that when all is said and done, it is a poor match. Assist somewhere else. It's like a snipe build Reg in the same lane as Torch Bearer.. snipe just doesn't stand a chance at close range against a DPSer like TB (especially with fireball).

Reply to Discuss: UB's noob factor, needs balance in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

OP is completely correct. To spit, UB should need to perform a 'hadoken' with his d-pad, and then left click. In fact, this should be the only way to perform the move, and have it be undocumented, something to 'learn' by playing. Grab should be done by pressing CTRL + SPACE and then left clicking. Ooze should be activated by doing a full round on the number pad, and deactivated in the same way. Honestly, the real flaw in the above logic is that "I am

Your first 5 levels are identical to mine. I however, stop getting power of the tower again until level ~10, as I think more points, but not complete points, in it are not good enough. If you go tower, get it to level 4 by level 10, otherwise a single point is all you probably want.

Well, Just to make it clear, his strat could be great, but he just isn't good with his clicking and timing yet.

Stun to get kills, stun to save friends, stun to stop priests... stun is GOOD. Mass stun, massively so. The second is bat swarm 3 at level 15. This is just not a good upgrade of the skill. Bat

Yeah Cataract is a little different with that XP flag, since it is the only unattended flag. Capping it, and keeping it locked, can be pretty nice. And yet later in the game, when people can choke point at it, it suddenly becomes the easiest to keep. Very weird layout to be sure.

Horseradish, I think you may be decieving yourself. If all you are getting is gold, and using that for xp citadel upgrades, you aren't going to get 4 or 5 levels on the opposition. If you are in the situation where you can work a second empty lane, it is great, but I think it is a bit of a mistake to count on that. Also, the raw power of the wrath is pretty mediocre. A Blood of the Fallen enemy is going to have a pretty big health advantage on you, and possibly drive you f

Depends a bit on the map. On cataract, with an early offensive DG lineup, I'll grab a flag lock to lock the middle flag. Banded armor is pretty solid, though get Scale Mail if you go with Blood of the Fallen, especially on a large map. Scaled helm is very favor item/dg dependant. It can be the little boost you need to keep the mana train going, especially for middle weight mana spenders, but honestly, you are better of saving for the Vlemish.
