[quote who="transitive" reply="6" id="2243197"]is it even a debate though, i mean you just get Ooze 1 at level 1, Diseased Claws 1 at level 2, and Inner Beast 1 at level 3. you're set on speed for a long time after that. after level 3 is when you start making the real decisions. most people will max Inner Beast before Diseased Claws for the attack speed boosts. i'm not sure i agree with that though since those boosts are most relevant in the late game. the Disease
[quote who="JagerJack" reply="25" id="2243568"] Quoting Milskidasith, reply 24 (sometimes spit builds forgo having Diseased Claw or Inner Beast in order to get Post Mortem, horrible skill that it is.) As a spit UB user I agree with most of your points, as I have recently been toying around with an ooze build and found it to be more to my liking, but I have to disagree with this. Post Mortem isn't a terrible skill. Often times it will kill creeps faster until yo
[quote who="ChromeWeasel" reply="20" id="2243323"] Quoting Milskidasith, reply 17Also, about Plenor Battlecrown: If you are going with a spit UB build, and are not spitting for damage, you will lose to Ooze 100% of the time. You need Spit to do damage; without it, your melee attacks are not going to do more than my melee + one slot more of health stacking + Ooze + attack debuff. If you are only spitting "for harrassment" it means you aren't going to be able to sustain yourself in combat.

He beats almost all demigods in 1v1 combat with a pure Ooze build; relying on spit means you need mana items, so you have much less health than you could, plus you don't have the nice AoE damage and attack speed reduction of Ooze.

[quote who="reinis" reply="3" id="2243052"]Inner Beast helps you get to them faster in the first place, though.[/quote] At 3%, it really doesn't help much; that's all of .189 speed, when UB's speed is 6.3 base. Getting to somebody faster won't help much early-game anyway, because if they are already retreating before you get there, you have already pushed them, and if they aren't, then you still get your hits in (and with that miniscule amount, even a regulus would probably not even g

Regulus's mines stack for a 90% speed decrease, which is more than enough to knock you WAY down. And yeah, they don't last long... but they still last long enough to keep shooting you with maim, which also slows. And even if you get away.... who cares?

[quote who="ChromeWeasel" reply="14" id="2242621"] Quoting Milskidasith, reply 13 Err.... so? Ooze is better for 2v2's than spit is because of the huge debuff it has. Spit is awesome for 1v1's. Ooze is great for 1v1's, 2v2's, 3v3's 4v4's, and basically any situation thanks to its huge debuff. Also, plague as an AoE? Seriously? Taking 30 seconds to not kill a basic melee creep seems useless to me. Ooze will kill him in 3. Ooze UB has: a huge debuff that helps wh
[quote who="reinis" reply="4" id="2242900"]"Competent" doesn't mean "not great".[/quote] Competent: Having sufficient skill, knowledge, ability, or qualifications. Great: Very good. I believe there is a difference between having just sufficient skill and being very good at something. Competent, especially in the way it was used in his post, is not the same as great.
Err... well, with his skills he has just a bit of spike damage and low health means he can't abuse his incredibly high speed to chase down enemy DGs that well. But really, with tweaking this is a very good idea.
[quote who="Lemminkaeinen" reply="25" id="2242057"] Quoting Sean0883, reply 23Inner Beast > Diseased Claws. Both are 10% but Inner Beast is constant and even provides attack speed. Diseased Claws while the same speed increase is given by slowing your opponent, you have to actually make contact, making Inner Beast a superior choice. A statement like "Inner Beast > Diseased Claws" is too simple and actually very misleading. Slowing down the opponents is ac

[quote who="Euandros" reply="3" id="2241768"] Quoting Hugo Root, reply 2Thanks, If fire aura increases your own speed then that is, at least on paper, better than permafrost which is a reactive speed benefit (slows down enemies) rather than a proactive speed benefit (you are always faster with the buff). Also makes enhanced attributes a little more appealing, with its increased attack speed benefits (marginal though they are, they suit fire rather than

120 damage over time, stacking per attack, is still 120 damage per attack. The only negative is that the few debuffing skills in the game all have long cooldowns or are aquired later (Oak's Shield and the favor item have like ~30 second cooldowns, heal would only debuff way later, and there really aren't many other options). So... it's pretty tough to deal with stacking 15 attacks (an entirely reasonable amount in a duel between two demigods at low level) that also give 12 damage per second f
[quote who="Doo Ende" reply="14" id="2240973"]I'd would only try it with Sedna, since she gets many other passives and she's harder to kill, but UB is squishy and benefits greatly from going health stacking to stay in the fight doing more damage (not that Sedna doesn't benefit from that, mind you, she's THE tank).[/quote] UB's honestly not bad for tanking, though without heal or passive HP regen he really doesn't have many options in terms of staying alive after multiple encounters.</
Burning eye is way too powerful. Even lategame artifacts don't give 120 damage per attack. It would be the only item worth buying, ever. Belt of Synergy: Good. Not really sure if it is balanced or not, but it seems like it. Blade Oil of Reach: Very bad. -35 damage is just devestating early-game, and still very painful late-game. For ranged characters, it might be OK because the +3 range helps out a ton (and lets everybody attack towers with impunity) but for melee characters it has no benefit
All of those changes seem fairly reasonable. However, I can't really see a reason to turn off Voodoo Rage, and it is pretty easy (especially with medicine man) to get enough mana regen that you will never run out of mana. However, that balances out with the fact that using it would require sacraficing other skills, so it's probably all good.

He always wants me to play Sedna so I can keep healing him (ya, I keep telling him to RUN), but she can't do much else after she heals. I was thinking TB; maybe he can freeze

So you want to give away information that is supposed to be hidden, IE your purchases, what skills you have, etc. just for aesthetic appeal? No thank you. What I do think could work are high favor cost items that allow you to unlock alternate costumes for the Demigods. That kind of stuff works for a lot of games; people who want aesthetic stuff can grind for it, and people who like the game don't have to bother with it.
