Reply to Make mode changing less painful in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

This is all part of the balance of the character though. I think maybe a little better feedback on whether or not you successfully pressed the button is about as good as you can get it. The whole reason you have to change modes is because of how powerful having both sets of skills active at a time is. And seriously, mana regen and Damage permanent buffs? This isn't just put in the game as a micro management mini game. The whole point is that thos

General Vs Assassin in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

So, I realized that one of the systemic imbalances of the game (As in, the systems involved are not balanced) is the whole conceptualization of what is a General, and what is an Assassin. As far as I can tell, the break down is like this: General: Must have Minions Assassin: Can't have Minions. <p style="padding-left: 30px;

Reply to An Erebus that actually scales well to level 20?! in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

No mass charm = team fail. While you do more damage with your pretty little minion effects, a good couple seconds of stun is what you really need when doing a 2v2 encounter. Mist form... is not very helpful.

Reply to Incredibly devestating character comboes in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Unclean Beast + Rook: Boulder Roll to stun target, letting beast get in close Beast gets a spit off, and then grabs. While grabbing, Rook hammerslams. At level 10, that combo can easily do 3500 damage over the span of about 10 seconds. Of which the enemy is stunned for 4 of those seconds.

Hot Potato: Passing the Heart in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Just recently, in an impromptu move during a potentially game ending, but early, lane push, a friend and I discovered a rather interesting strategy. We all know how awesome the Heart of Life is, allowing you to rejuvenate fully every bit of time. The only downsides being that it can be disrupted, and that it costs a decent amount of money (for the early game). Well, the cooldown on the Heart isn't too bad, 45 seconds, and you rarely need to use it quite that

Reply to Stats and Rage Quitting in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

It's a really hard problem to fix. (Quit via lag, or quit via rage). I think the best option is to make it such that a player has an obvious incentive to keep playing, but isn't so penalized as to make them hate the game if they lag out or have other connection problems.

Reply to Be able to choose which paths portal monsters walk in. in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

Eh, just focusing on the original post: I think that in general you could include little railroad signs for grunts, and that you could just go over to one and 'move' the lane like you would some kind of toggle switch. could make for some interesting strategies. Maybe have them appear after a certain war rank, to minimize early game noob confusion.

Reply to Unbeatable 3 vs 3 stratagy :D in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

TheTrav, he did include a smiley in his title, so i'm thining he didn't REALLY mean unbeatable, just that it was a bunch of pain. You are correct though that triple amulet ganking and similar coordinated strategies are simply better than what random teams will come up with. Add in a class with a bit more speed, or a better stun, and I'm sure you could route most pubs.

[quote who="mehoo462" reply="5" id="2207875"]Will516, I disagree, the shamblers scale extreeemely well. Especially with Entourage AND Compost. With both those skills maxed the shamblers are about twice as powerful as any other summonable in the game. That's just raw numbers, it doesn't include the splash damage they do. So in true DPS they are 250-300% stronger than any other minion. [/quote] Twice as powerful as any other summon = still w

So I shouldn't pick a favor item that'd compliment my build, just because I sometimes want to counter a spit. Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense.... yes, that was sarcasm.

You *could* only get the Mulch Shambler ability. The problem I have is with trying to cross her two forms together. They honestly don't mix that much. It seems to make more sense to be primarily in flower, and then pop out to do damage, then the other way around.

Reply to Favour item analysis - What is worth your favour in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Yeah, Journeyman's treads don't cost 6500 because of the 15% static boost to speed, they cost that much because of the additional 50% boost of speed that you almost always get when you need it. But as someone said, the stacking-ness of things is more important. The Blood of the Fallen is very solid early on because of the massive amount of hit points it gives you. And you always have that much MORE than someone with some other item. Wanna see someone with serious bee

Bad Strategic Moments: Ally: "I'll flank them!" - as he runs around past the experience flag, through the fortress, archer towers, and other towers set up there... dying shortly thereafter. Ally: "I'm going to grab him!" as he runs after a faster demigod, within spit range, for most of the FREAKING GAME. If you aren't catching up, it isn't going to change suddenly... go back to your lane, or spit first. Uggh. Ally: "Lol-nub, flags are more im

Reply to Five Main Ways To Counter Venom Spit! in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

[quote who="PhantomOfAres" reply="8" id="2207442"]It's also important to note that sometimes the best thing to do is ignore it. While I do play Sedna, and can heal it too, it's important to realize what makes it not OP. 45 damage/s is not a big deal. Any buffs to hp regen chip away at that until it's near nothing. If a UB is just hit-and-running, DGs with good health/health regen can often ignore it. I've seen other DGs worry about it, and UB's great at CHASING.&

Reply to How to counter Rook's tower build. in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Yeah, rook solo builds better than any DG out there. And heck, if he has a General with priests nearby, he can pretty much push through to your citadel without returning to base for more than maybe a better hat. Since he can kill towers starting from pretty much level 1, he gets extra gold and exp. Couple that with the fact his towers will make sure he gets kill credit for pretty much every grunt, and he gets even MORE gold. All this adds up to him maximizing his sol

Reply to Rook vs. Regulus: Impossible Proposition? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Towers are just very very mana efficient. Level 4 towers supremely so. I'm not exactly sure the DPS or Duration, but a single 200 mana tower does a whole lot over the course. And unlike a lot of other abilities that can boast the same thing, these actually do work against Demigods. That said, I do think that Boulder Roll is the truly most significant ability for a Rook player to get.

Reply to Why are kill swaps considered always bad? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Problem with kill swapping is that, especially early on, it isn't actually as valuable as it feels. If the guy you would swap with is running all the way back to base, you have two avenues: 1) Stay in lane, and get more gold and more exp due to not having a contesting DG (No need to fight, can always attack creeps, etc) 2) Try to kill the DG and Maybe get a bit of Gold. The 250 experience you get isn't much compared to the xp of staying in the lane t

Reply to Demigod: Scheduled Games = the eVite of death in Demigod Journals Demigod Forums

Hate to say it, but this sounds rather unworkable. I like the idea of a host putting up a game scheduled for a certain time, so that people can plan to attend it, but making it such that people will have to schedule to join it as well is rather hard to maintain. I think what would make significantly more sense, is for you to add a filter in the custom games screen: Show Scheduled Games The host chooses game options as normal when they schedule
