Reply to Foul Grasp and Stun Immunity in Demigod Demigod Forums

[quote]Regarding stun immunity, it seems most people have accepted my argument that since it is possible for your teammates to save you, single target stun locking is acceptable. The problem then is that it would actually be possible to stun lock an entire team, which I agree would be stupid. It seems to me, then, that the real reason we have stun immunity (arbitrary countermechanic) is the threat of chained AoE stuns. However, the arbitrary countermechanic has also killed a desirable aspect

Reply to Eskendale's Guide to the Healing Oak (Updated!) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

[quote]I don't bother with the spirits that much because I end up running around through towers so much capping portals around level 11 that they pretty much die too often. Level 15 surge is fine but I replaced the Shield IV with it because I'd rather have the 600 Health than extra 150 damage. As for priests, I really don't find use for them unless I'm facing a spit UB; I rather spend the money on currency or reinforcements. I mean you could go on and on with respect to items that could be he

Reply to Eskendale's Guide to the Healing Oak (Updated!) in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

nice build, I like the HoL-style shield/heal trap ;) a couple of thoughts - - Level 11 for soul power I is worthwhile, but if you don't have the spirits yet you should get those before bothering with higher levels of the skill - it's just not cost-effective without the souls - L15 Surge is worth getting, even if you need to invest in some mana pots or an extra helm to make it work - Idol Priests are worth it, even as a passive tail

From 4/8/09 [quote who="Vundarbread" reply="4" id="2130696"] Quoting Ke5trel, reply 25 Yah looks like UB has replaced Rook as the anchor in a stun team - Rook boulders, UB grasps, Rook hammers, gg. I'm not sure why Foul Grasp is being given a pass here but at least they can turn on immunity-trigger easily when it starts to get abused. (Vundarbread says) Foul Grasp is getting a pass for the time being since it's a stun that acts as a stun for UB a

Reply to "NO!" - What is the best Sedna Denial Build? in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

As someone who allies with Sedna but doesn't play as her - - Very nice in a team setting where the DPS is coming from elsewhere. I'd think you'd need at least two allies who could bring the heavy pain to make up in damage for one pure control Sedna. - You don't need Cloak, imo, since you'd be wasting 50% of its potential (this Sedna won't be doing a lot of last hitting, right?) - Since you are getting Wind 2 at level 5 you should invest in High Priests (unless th

At level 7 with a good team and some light feeding my Oak can have 5500 hp for 5300 gold.

Reply to Oak vs. Reg Issue in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Items: Definitely try Cloak of Night. 800 hp won't help you if you can't ever reach your opponent to hit him, just takes him 3 more hits to counter that advantage. Maneuverability is more important than stamina against Slow Reg and you can use it to blink out of a minefield or into killing range. Best favor item in the game imo.. You are right not to count on speed items, they won't be effective..spend 5k gold to bring your hp and armor up, buy some priests

If you have invested points and items into attack speed then you get an auto-interrupt every 3-5 seconds - against Generals with their almost instant-cast shields and heals especially this can be very good.

I like that you post, Chromeweasel - it seems like you are thinking about the game. That said, what are you talking about? Is this post based on games where one team is all Regulus? ;) Crucible is one of the only maps I would ever consider getting Priests early on because one lane means I can support them efficiently. (Actually it's the only nice thing I can say about that map - it allows you to use a broken feature as intended ;P) Is that what you me

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

Nice guide, Zechnophobe. Like a couple of others who have commented in any map with lanes I'd put an early point or two in Snipe just to increase your map control/ally support. Of course then you'd need to invest in a helm, but it's usually worth it. Against good teams it would also push your kills back a level or so but again, usually worth it. Incidentally if you want a quick 1v1 counter to this build one way is to play Oak, put a point in shield (for th
