I'd also recommend macs666 for Tier 2.

I second Bier's recommendations. I haven't seen those foos in forever. P.S. Peter needs to get a life and learn to do something besides minion builds. :P
P.S. Here's another thought on the direct damage/heal ability. It's basically combining Sedna's Heal and Pounce. For Sedna to get approximately the same damage and healing, she would have to spend 4 points in Pounce and 2 points in Heal. This is two more skill points than my damage/heal ability. My ability can only be used once every 7 seconds to either heal or damage, while she can use both Pounce and Heal every 7 seconds. It's not clear to me from this that my damage/heal ability is
First of all, excellent work on the HP boost. That's a good start towards balancing him. [quote] To give him a disadvantage to balance it out he was supposed to only have limited direct damage attacks.[/quote] He actually is much more disadvantaged than that. He has poor direct damage, no kiting ability, no stun, no aoe, and no interrupt. His silence ability is different from an interrupt, as silence doesn't reset the cooldown timer (at least it doesn't for Sedna). This m
Yes, I have been reading it. :) Could you perhaps do one on what it takes to create a Demigod ability? I don't know what all files are involved. I've been trying to convert item abilities such as the Cloak of Invisibility and Orb of Defiance into Demigod abilities, but they are coded differently, and I'm not sure how to convert them. EDIT: Also, do you know what "Benign" means? I've seen it in the LUA several times.
I vote we have Synn do the voices!
He's making a wonderful mod manager. Be sure to download it so you infect your PC. :P
I'd love to see a replay, Orcun, with you playing Regulus. I want to see how you do it. :)
I think we should add Kitty0007 to the list. He's definitely Tier 2.
I would recommend fast respawn and high gold income. You'll need cash to buy upgrades, and dying on 1v1 is very bad on normal death settings. Split, it's an entirely different style of game, and that's why I like it occasionally. Plus, I don't think UB is really that good of a choice. The only assassin I've seen work well is Rook.
I was going to post a replay entitled "Why you shouldn't let UB get to level 19," but my friends were on the receiving end of his frenzy. :P No grasp? You are effing mad, TB_Master.
mrappard, if you're wanting to make another tier 1 demigod, here is what I'd suggest. He needs to be able to tank and gank. That's what all tier 1 DGs have in common. He also needs a kiting ability. Here is what I suggest. Remove his snipe ability. The range is too short, and the cast time is too long. Make the "snipe" ability a level 5 and level 10 ability that "shoots" a tower that allies can teleport to. Give it a range of 20/30 yards. Replace the four slots that originally went to
Wow, mrrappard, that's amazing! I'm going to spend some time figuring out how to balance him. Perhaps one thing I'd like to see is invisibility. There is an invisibility cloak in the lua for it. It should only be for a couple of seconds, imo.
This only happens if both players pick shitty 1v1 DGs.
I've been having fun doing 1v1s. The playstyle is different, and the games don't last as long as you'd think. Anyone else like playing these?
2nana is pretty good. He does has a good knowledge of map control and harrasment. He only does 1v1s, though. You aren't tier 1 in my book if you don't know how to work with a team. If he played team games, I think there's a chance he'd be tier 1.
I've actually thought about doing that next year.
I've had to ctrl alt delete every 4th game as well. This is a new occurence.
If it wasn't by choice, I'm sorry dude. :( That's no fun.
Ran out of Demigod weed?
I nominate _illuminati_. He's easily Tier 2, if not tier 1.
They're selling it for 75% off already. That's not a good sign.
Btw, does Sacrifice work? I heard it was bugged. It would be worth getting if it healed Occulus as well. Otherwise, it's useless. (The lightning aura doesn't work, Kes. It's bugged if I remember correctly.)
This stuff is bloody obvious to anyone who has played Occulus at least 3 times. Those are practically all of the secrets to playing Occulus. Nothing too surprising.
The problem with laning them together is TB needs the creeps with BotS, and Occ wipes them out too fast.
