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

Seen as I play mostly PUGs, I have to say from personal preference and experience Ooze is a better all round build. Simply the lack of need of mana items is a huge advantage. As far as DG Killer goes, kills tend to be slow at the beginning, but ramp up as the game progresses. Spit is certainly useful, but overall I would feel confident that any Spit or Hybrid build will lose to the Ooze build. I wouldn't say that Ooze is necessarily just for tanking, in

[quote]If you're at 5,000HP and I'm at 3,450HP (with the flag), we can't measure the "battle advantage" proportionately. Now, when I lose the flag, it is a 1,200HP swing in your favor. It is still the 32.25% gain (proportionately), but now measuring it in that manner doesn't reflect your actual advantage in a fight.[/quote] Exactly :) That is why I am saying it is misleading, not that it is false.

Reply to Autoattack analysis in Demigod Demigod Forums

UB gets the delayed attack bug after Foul Grasp, pretty much 100% of the time. Really annoying when you are chasing someone down, grasp them, then they are off again and you are standing there licking your paws! Also, a good tip for getting away from attacks is to turn a corner. The chasing player will invariably get stuck on the corner.

Reply to Flag-Locking: Don't waste your money in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

The point is that I understand that, that is not my problem. It is the two different sides of the same coin. The problem I have is that it can be misleading. Yes, the status change is 32%, however at the same time you are still only 15% more powerful than your opponent. You are not 32% more powerful, you are 32% more powerful than the situation you were in before. However, in real terms you are only 15% more powerful than your opponent who is at base. This is just as v

Reply to Flag-Locking: Don't waste your money in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Ok, the only problem I see with all this flag crap, is that the 32% relative advantage is essentially meaningless. The math is correct, however, it is true that the real-life application of it is being screwed. To put a slightly different slant on it. State A Player 1 - No buff Player 2 - No buff No advantage State B Player 1 - 15% buff Player 2 - No buff Player 1 has a 15% buff, meaning they

Reply to Demigod Rant (Part 2) in Demigod Demigod Forums

When I really think about most of the kills I get as UB, it is really down to bad play by the opponents. Running late from engagement, not understanding how Ooze works, not watching for teleport warnings while sitting on flags. Easy stuff that would have prevented their death. Clever opponents will be trying to kiting me, or hit and running or calling in friends to back them up. My Kill ratio only looks blatently out

Reply to Demigod Rant (Part 2) in Demigod Demigod Forums

I play an Ooze UB a lot. With this build it is impossible to take down buildings effectively, until you are massively overlevelled. Against Tower Rooks, the build sucks a lot, also early game I rarely get a lot of kills with it. An advantage of UB is that it is fairly simple to play, you can have a lot more awareness. This gains me more kills than simple charge in and auto attack. Backing up allies or TPing in to ninja someone. This compared to Sedna, where hav

[quote]A Sedna that goes full yeti has to give up so much else she gimps herself[/quote] I don't find that to be true. Heal is a very poor scaling spell. It gets a lot more efficient later on, but still 1500 HP is not really a lot in the end game, especially with focus fire. Also, 1000 HP with pounce end game is not that great, most DGs need to relie on DPS. The benefits of a Minion build is that you can go Armour and HP on the DG and buff your minions u

Reply to How to make minions better/ more balanced in Demigod Demigod Forums

Minions need some help. Would love to see status effects added to them. However, I lot of people are looking at minion builds the wrong way. They can be very powerful. Especially when the corresponding minion items are taken. Your minions can be way over 2000HP a piece. If your opponent doesn't have a TB or Reg on their side focused on AOE, then they are going to be struggling. Against buildings they tear through them like candy. They are not DG killers though.

Reply to Flag-Locking: Don't waste your money in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Well if this is the case, then no point capturing the flag first as you only get a 15% increase, might as well wait until after, then you will get a 32% relative increase :p ps I am being ironic Anyway in terms of the original post, flag locking all the time can be a waste, but it can also be useful even early on. The gold mine flags is interesting I haven't thought of that one. At Currency 1, then you gain (~270 x DGs on your side)

[quote]I already made the point that Priests are situational. That's the whole point.[/quote] Yeah, but at the moment the situations when they are a great upgrade is about 2% of games. The rest of the time, they are just a stepping stone to cats or giants. They would be useful if they didn't make each wave worth 40% more xp and triple the gold value. More like 20% XP and 50% gold increase per wave. Then they would be useful and more in line with their overall worth.

Automatically assuming that someone is wildly chucking mines around is a little silly. They can be used on creeps if the lane is unchallenge

Reply to Sedna Yeti Switch Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Yeah I think you can drop the point in Heal and not be too hurt by it. I do like it though. Early game it is one of the strongest skills in the game. Even mid game it can be useful. Late game it possibly could save someone, but unlikely. I think one of the common mistakes with Sedna (I fall into it sometime) is to rely too much on Heal. It is easily interruptible and as you progress actually gets pretty weak. Much better off taking Pounce if you don't want to take the Morale u

Sedna Yeti Switch Build in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

This build is for players who want to play with minions. The key is that the first few skills are for an assassin type build. The advantage of this is that Minion builds are weak at the start and are best used when your opponents are not speccing for AOE. Also, her starting assasin type skills even at level 1 are key through the whole game and very mana efficient, meaning you don't have to spec so much for mana. This build is quite cash intensive, dont be fooled into thinking
