[quote]I just finished playing 1 pug 2v2 game (took a long time to start), with kevinabcd1988 on my side, who apparently has a weird HW Rook build but somehow it works like a charm. I was Erebus, he was rook, and our opponents had the same DG combo, but were both BotF. Before we started the game, the host (doggu), said to me "morph, kevin plays HW Rook. you are in for a treat", basically saying that he will be bad, or feed or whatever. I didnt mind at all, I just wanted to play 1 game after a
doggu
Not to throw fuel on an already lit fire but I have been refusing to play with your_maker for some time now. The abusive pm's and general low quality games that this guy puts out (both through comments and asinine general play and tactics) means he is just a total loss in game for his/her team and the opposition.
I haven't been able to connect to opengames,asp all night is it down?
ok I'm sure I'm wrong about this but when towers are set on high it seems (from a few comparisons) that when splash is purchased they spit out more damage. Anyone noticed this?
i'll chuck in if i get to play in teh thing...
I'd throw my hat in but the time difference (and ping!!) from Australia may be a problem for some EU/RUS. I would happily donate $10 for the pot.
I was just having a web browse for shield info and found this: http://demigod.wikia.com/wiki/Shield It states that shield has an 0.2 s cast time, whereas I always thought it was immediate cast (i.e. as soon as you click). This would explain how it can be interrupted if true. Is this correct? What I was getting at about shield 4 is that you can get caught short on mana (+100 over shield 3)
yet another reason not to upgrade shield past 3..
Aren't interrupts of shield a lag issue seeing as though it has "0" cast time. i.e the interrupt should fall either side of the cast but technically not during.
wow! why hasn't anyone else ever suggested this...
First year of a PhD is a breeze. In fact the first two years can be. That is.. as long as you are prepared to go through a final year that consists of you working so insanely hard that you feel like your eyeballs may pop out whilst you frantically try to remember what sleep was like. Also, hopefully this all happens before your woefully inadequate scholarship runs out.. But hey.. time to play DG is definitely important. P.S. I'm assuming this is a
why is it better for 2v2? and... is the jump far enough for crucible?
I never really understood cloak of night choice for erebus given that bat swarm is picked up at level 5 and its mana benefits are less than a scaled helm that sets you back 550.. I have seen it used effectively to avoid ganks but really as erebus you shouldn't be dying anyway. Is it used as an early game benefit mostly?
I didn't think so but wasn't sure. I guess its not really a counter then once shielded. Still I have seen it gank lots of oaks that sigil late in a bad situation or want to stick around to be a smart arse 1v3...
ah yeah silence!!... as a sed noob i didn't know that silence went through shield.
i take your point re. experience but it is technically still the only counter... in my experience you time the swap from when the tele "aura" starts around oak. So it doesn't matter if he tools around with the first couple of seconds of his shield. You need to wait about half the period of the tele aura before you swap or you will get him prior to the tele with no interrupt (of course). Either way if you time it right the oak is back where he started with his shield and tele on cd.</p
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't DA swap ability offer you the only chance to counter a oak-shield-port if you time it right. i.e you (as da) end up at their health crystal from which you port out or sigil run like a mofo and your team gets to clean up oak who ends up back where he ported from. Can be quite a surprise for an oak who thinks he is beyond gank late game (or after shield 3).
just a point... av is good however if you are going to install warez you prolly want to go form some sort of malware protection too. Freeware malwarebytes antimalware is good, spybot s&d, and while you are at it run sophos anti rootkit. Pure av doesn't cover most bad stuff for m$ os these days.
Have you uninstalled the suspect copy first?? I would recommend a registry clean up (and a penicillin shot) after you do this as god knows what was installed with it.
An oldie I know, but so relevant here... "Arguing on the internet is like running at the special olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded."
Darz would own the 1v1 qot tourney.. haven't seen him around for a while though.
umm.. When did this thread get hijacked by you guys beating each other off about how good you are?? I'm sure there were several other threads devoted to this topic that went about 500 posts long. Sigh..I guess you didn't get it out of your systems. As you are all so good can we please get back to the original point. i.e. Discussion re. how to counter minion oak. Cheers.
It's like $10 new. Just out of curiosity what did you pay for it second hand?
if you are going to go after him as beast, make sure you buy an egg. It may seem expensive but combined with ooze it really helps.
ha!!..pwned
