Rook + BotS = pain in the butt

from Demigod Forums

I've tried the BotS on and off for a while now, and it's just not very useful in rook, imho.  It's semi-useful at lvls 1-4 perhaps, but speed or BotF would be much better.

If you use towers at all, the creeps tend to be dead before you can get a slam in to refill the meter.

Your shoulder weapons, plus god's strength also makes it hard to use it on creeps before they're gone.

 

In a DG fight, I tend to be so caught up in slam fakes to avoid a stun, again, it's useless to me.

What really baffles me is why rook is high HP and low armor.  I'd rather take the reverse in a way, and stack HP items.  What items do you guys like?

I hate a rook that knows to have armor.

BotF + Scale mail to start is a royal pain.

I look at it this way
Health = Great against skills
Armor = Great against AA

A rook with scale mail and BoTF has significant health adjustment in the early game I find. Much better than banded.

Armor saves my ass with towers too. If you watch and see how many times you're hit by towers then think 'Wow, how much MORE damage would I of taken from them over the course of the game without armor!'

Towers should trigger Bots.
