[quote]For the record, people complain about premades in customs as well if not more. I happen to fall in the very large and undefined category of "premade" because I have 2 RL friends and 1 brother who I like to play games with, and this is currently that game. We are definetely not great players by any stretch of the word, ranging from 60% to 20% win rates, yet we're still hated on simply because we know each other. Its like "omg you guys know each other?

There are some exceptions besides snipe I suppose. Maybe hitting a critical mass on AoE damage with dual TBs would be unnecessarily punitive for minion builds, but seriously for the most part this all just goes back to people not liking being sniped to death, which as I said is pretty much brought in check by priests/monk idols anyway.

[quote]not mcuh of a differnece. at level 10 this baraly was around 200 hp (or was it arround 300?) more that the priests healed then the bishops. at lower level of course even less of a difference.[/quote]If a player had 5k health he would have been healed for 1500 by rank 3, now he'll be healed for 1100 by a rank 4 minion, or 950 by a rank 3... That's a pretty massive change when you consider the priests heal every 5 seconds, aka faster than sedna heals herself without cooldown reduct

[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="13" id="2328463"]Quoting Obscenitor, reply 9I'm really interested in how differently people are going to play a mortal sedna. Its not that much of a change (22% still leads to ~1.4k heals if you health stack), but I'd guess slightly less pounce spammage, in favor of heal. Slightly. Mainly it'll affect item buy order, as ~1.5k to upgrade your monks 100% was sweet and could take precedence over certain other 1.5k items. Now it'll cost ~2k to upgrade to upgrade

Haven't tested it extensively, but I joined a few games and left once I got connected and I was getting 120'ish pings off of proxies, so it looks like the hotfix worked.

Reply to Tower Buff in Demigod Demigod Forums

They're only exploits in the sense that you exploit the cast time of rook's hammer by interrupting him, or you exploit the ability to lower tower damage by equipping more armor. Nothing unfair or unintended is happening, little micromanagement tricks complicate and improve the game.

Reply to Doubles -- what's the big deal? in Demigod Demigod Forums

Well you guys may disagree, but I think that priests pretty much fix the cheesiness of the most despised doubles. This solution may be a bit extreme and I'm sure most people wouldn't agree, but I think it'd be interesting to remove the priest upgrade completely and make them roll out at rank 3 like archers do at rank 2. It would pretty much remove issues with triple snipes, spits, etc. and it'd also balance out monks a bit, because seriously they're complete game changers as-i

[quote who="Jomungur"]Based on that close game we played a couple of nights ago, I tend to agree with you that late game towers (plus orb) can be effective. That said, you were spamming late game tower farms more quickly than most tower Rooks I've faced. Were you using staff of renewal to mitigate the long cool-down? I don't think many tower rooks use that item in their build.[/quote]I don't think the tower rook build can function without that item. 10 second tower

Reply to Doubles -- what's the big deal? in Demigod Demigod Forums

The long and short of it is that people hate getting hit with double snipe, spit, and mines. Because of those they made a broader house rule that's pretty pointless. Doubles are fine, but seriously I draw the line at triple reg.

Reply to [Guide] The Rook as a Juggernaut in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Lemme clarify that I don't think this build is bad you just framed it in a way which makes it not just a hammer build but also an attack on tower builds. I just think that it would require significant team support, which is fine if you're doing premades but suicide (in my opinion) if you're pugging frequently. Also I agree that at least one rank of towers would go a long way on this build. Rook is the only one who can allow allies to warp in and assist, and he's also the slowe

Reply to [Guide] The Rook as a Juggernaut in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

The best part about playing rook is that most people won't go doubles. A bad rook is the worst DG in the game, even worse than a regulus that won't buy HP gear, so you can spare yourself a ton of frustration if you get good with rook yourself. Onto your specific rook build I wouldn't recommend it without extended healer support. Even Erebus could be enough if you play your cards right and he uses bite, monks, and mass charm correctly.
