[quote]I still just hae RoF, it's great for a short period of time, then it's outdated and the later levels of it do not scale well at all. Something with that long of a cast time, with that long of a damage period, which costs almost as much as it damages... grrr.[/quote]It's 800 mana for 1500 damage, I'm not sure what you mean by it costing almost as much as it damages.
[quote who="Cind3rs" reply="8" id="2458727"]What is the low down on inspirational flame? I've read before that it's always on once you get it, you don't actually have to be in a RoF or anything. Just in fire mode. True?[/quote]Correct. The end result is that you're pretty much set on mana with a single helm. I feel it help TB out quite a bit late game because it lets you bring your health up to par with the DGs who had been more durable than you all game.
You've gotta have a lot of mana to farm creeps with Fire Nova and it also means your burst damage won't necessarily be ready when you want it to be.
The stronger benefits of Deep Freeze are the interrupt and the obnoxious cooldown increase. For example when you're fighting an Oak that you know is going to shield and heal or teleport at low health, you can Freeze him and if he shields in the next 7 seconds it's going to take a whopping 77 seconds for him to shield again (assuming it's max rank). Another example is when you just freeze a Beast before he spits you at the start of a fight. If he follows through he'll have to wait 15 more seco
A mulch build should be able to beat a spirit build pretty consistently, especially after level 10. I'd be up for trying it against someone when we're bored one of these days.
Short game, kind of hard to draw conclusions from it. Generally speaking though, Erebus just has a really high damage threshold before he really starts to lose health, much higher than most DGs. That being said, I don't generally have issues crossing that threshold with UB, Rook after level 4, and Oak after level 8. Most of the time if a game lasts to level 10 Erebus really starts to break down against oak, as the healing off of Divine Justice outpaces Bite's heal and the Penitence de
[quote]Definitely true. The StarCraft story is actually pretty good for a video game, especially a strategy video game. Without the single-player I doubt as much interest would have been had in the title when broadband kicked off and more people got online to play.[/quote]Starcaft ran perfectly on dialup, assuming your line didn't have problems. I only point that out because it's frustrating that DG has such insane connection requirements.
[quote who="Fearzone" reply="2" id="2452761"]An interesting time machine experiment would be to see what happened if Starcraft was released without its single player campaign. Intuition tells me it would not be where it is today.[/quote]Quake wouldn't have done well without its single player either, but Left 4 Dead did just fine. Gamers' expectations and interests have shifted quite a bit, if you were implying that GPG should have focused more on single player features. I think
[quote]The way i buffed Saam-el's Cloak, doesnt even make it viable as a favor item yet, and you want it to be nerfed? That doesnt make any sense [e digicons]:S[/e] [/quote]Well the thing is I've been thinking a lot about what's wrong with Regulus lately, and I think one of his biggest weaknesses is his snare dependency. I mean there's lots of good items that don't provice snare immunity, I'm not coming from the angle that it's overpowered, just that its only niche in its current form

Demigod Forums
You should see PM one of the admins or Sorian to see if they want a copy of your corrupted replay. Maybe that'll help troubleshoot.
You didn't play that well and you were fighting total noobs. (jk there's no replay link here) -edit- boo edited in link!
[quote who="wrastler118" reply="38" id="2457693"]I find it funny how you guys seem to think you are so right. My build works for me and the wins with Fire TB prove it. And the only arrogance I see is coming from the people who are continuing to argue with me about it. Disagree all you want until you're blue in the face, it won't change my opinion.[/quote]This sums up your appraoch to all feedback so far. You made this thread fishing for compliments and you didn't get them, so now you've
Here are some other items which unfairly affect specific Demigods who are already too weak: [quote] - Bejeweled Goggles - +12 vision radius, +10% movement speed, +5 Health per second Can detect normally invisible objects.[/quote] The is only one invisible object in the entire game: Mines. This becomes a very strong anti-reg tool while remaining not partiuclarly compe
I guess my question is this: How many favor items do you currently feel are viable? I apologize for rehashing the same thing I always say, but I honestly believe these favor items are top tier and are all currently used quite frequently: BotF, Cloak of Night, Blade of the Serpent, Horn of Battle, Staff of Renewal, and the Swift Anklets. Personally, I would like to see no changes or extremely minor changes to those core 6 favor items, because the way thin
[quote who="Derog" reply="35" id="2457654"]the bejewled goggles will most certainly be taken by regulus players. how about something like this: generally give a range bonus of 2, remove fog of war for five seconds and give a 20% range bonus to all skills for that time. that would buff sniping.[/quote]But sniping is already one of Regulus's good abilities and he has tracking device to emulate that functionality... He has so many other abilities and issues which don't work well that could be im
[quote who="Izuz" reply="34" id="2457649"]Well of course if there is no way to remove the fog of war for only that player than we can't have that. It was just a suggestion and I don't know if it's possible or not. But it's possible than I think it would make the item more attractive. It's better than +12 vision radius.[/quote]Forget that part of it, who would pick 15% speed over +12 vision, 10% speed, and 5hp/sec? Even ignoring the other changes this item just seems outright superior to an ex
[quote]- Bejeweled Goggles - +10% movement speed, +10 Health per second Can detect normally invisible objects and removes fog of war for that player.[/quote]Would anyone really pick up anklets after this change? This doesn't seem like a net gain on total usable favor items, not to mention allies can see whatever you can see so unless there's some special function it would just remove fog of war for the entire team.
[quote]Maybe, but the odds have proven this build is much better. Again, top 20 in Fire TB wins with this build.[/quote]By that logic If I got Mcshane87 to post here that you're wrong you'd admit you've been mistaken this whole time? Because you're only 20 and he's 18.
[quote who="wrastler118" reply="33" id="2457555"]Possibly because without the extra HP and mana, I would've died more often.[/quote]Is it not also possible that in the games you won you or your teammates might have escaped death or gotten a kill if you'd been able to move 10% faster?
[quote who="wrastler118" reply="30" id="2457516"]I've won all my TB games with that build. Again, top 20 in wins with Fire TB. Like I said, you don't have to agree with the build, but the results don't lie.[/quote]Top 20 in wins with fire TB? Big fish in a little pond. I'm technically rank 2 on the entire ladder and that doesn't mean much either. Lemme rephrase my point a bit: if you had picked fire aura instead of stats, would you have lost all those games you won?
[quote]Yet I just won again with Fire TB, using the exact same build. Took out 4 towers in a matter of mins, had 1 kill, 3 assists and took out majority of creeps, just like I was supposed to. BTW, I didn't die. Hmmmm.....[/quote]You won a game, therefore 300HP/MP>15% team run and attack speed? Compelling logic.
Lemme just sum up something important here about this thread and the OP's perspective: 300 HP/MP > 15% team run and attack speed You never need speed early to save yourself You should stand in tower range long enough for 300 health to be a huge boon You'll never get an early kill or even try for one It's an absurd set of statements.
[quote who="ntropy" reply="25" id="2457432"]I still don't understand people not getting Blade of the Serpent. It free's up 2 slots not in use by mana items.[/quote]My only beef with it is that if I'm going full fire there's a good chance I'll end up getting Inspirational Flame with how quickly TB tends to levle, and at that point I always whish I had a Staff. It's a great item for TB though and of course a lot of games don't hit level 15 anyway.
