[quote]As it stands now, a QoT could do everything you described (in your Rook captured portal defense example) using violent siege (except the AOE is 8 instead of 10). However, because Uproot is so useless, no one does. This is a problem.[/quote]The key difference is that the portal caps begin in earnest around level 9 and it's a long trek to 15 from there. That's also ignoring the early game effects of Rook's towers decimating his own creep waves. Honestly I think you're underestima

[quote who="Teseer" reply="26" id="2488980"]Doesnt the buff vanish when it is depleted though? Regardless, I think it would be a great idea if it DID mitigate damage. Maybe not armor, but at least the % dmg mitigation.[/quote]Well currently the buff is tied to Ground Spikes, not Shield.

[quote]So an Uproot Queen would be able to pretty much equally match a Rook in terms of pushing him back at roughly the same rate he pushed forward. Hmmm isn't that what Balance is about?[/quote]No, that's not balance. You lack a critical understanding of what exactly Rook does. When he warps into a fight he's not dishing out his max DPS like UB, Oak, TB, whoever. He has to sit there 7-10 seconds per tower (depending on map/favor) and start building. Is he useless when he warps

Also AoE artifacts have very significant cooldowns and RoI is TB's only ranged AoE. On top of that it's 900 damage every 15 seconds, or 60 DPS at max rank. The base health of giants isn't especially meaningful because very few maps (if any, I think it's just fort mode on one map) lack valor flags and by the time you get giants they generally have 2100+. In fact on the maps where there is no valor flag it's generally a bad idea to get giants because they feed so much gold and xp to the

[quote]I'm not really understanding how the 25/50/75/100 would be overpowered (assuming the presence of a Rook). As I understand it that would be 250 aoe damage over 10 seconds + 500 base tower damage. Will 250 damage against a Rook at Level 1-3 make that big of a difference?[/quote]Yes, at level 1 it will still matter, but it's easier to describe late game when Rook is doing what he's best at: holding a portal indefinitely. Currently if a rook gets to one of your portals and has cata

Minion armor items are impractical. They do exist, but they're things like God Plate, All Father's Ring, and the Bulwark of the Ages. There's probaby one or two more, but they're few and far between. Furthermore QoT can reduce armor to -1500, meaning 280% damage, which would buff the AoE effect to 560 DPS against minions at level 10 if your build included both, and in spite of that you would rarely get much usage out of the ability without the presence of a Rook. The ability w

Yes Rook counters Sedna well, but sedna isn't completely negated by rook by any stretch of the imagination. In a 2v2 or 2v1 the Sedna is still useful.

I think I've played with your QoT before and she's certainly no Rook. It's a medicore character, but even so preventing debuffs on shield would be ridiculously tedious and overpowered. How would UB ever get through a shield with just ooze and autoattack, how would Oak or Sedna ever interrupt when they need their interrupts as damage to break the shield in the first place?

[quote]What do you think is a reasonable upgrade to the armor reduction of Ground Spikes?[/quote]I dunno, it depends on what you're trying to do with it. Are you trying to nerf it against structures so that Uproot is more attractive as a siege tool or are you just trying to buff it against players? If it's buffing it against players, then consider this: Pentience increases all damage taken by 20%, but Ground Spikes increases damage mitigated by armor by quite a bit more than that and

Reply to [MOD] QoT Mod: Focus Mod in Demigod Modding Demigod Forums

The Uproot changes are ludicrously detrimental/beneficial to Rook. What happens when a friendly Rook places a forward tower which heals at 200 HP/S and deals 200 DPS (more damage than an AoE spit!) to everythign near it? The synergy between these two characters becomes outrageous, not to mention QoT's current capacity to increase Trebuchet, Tower, Archer, and Tower of Light damage... Conversely what rook would stand a chance against this? They could never safely stand by their own tow

Jesus Christ, don't buff Morale. That skill line is an abomination that has no place in this game. :/ The changes I do like from this list: 4. Decrease sigil active time 25% 1. QoT's Spike Wave functions as an AoE interrupt along path of wave 2. QoT's Bramble Shield lowers mana cost at level 4 a la Rook's PoT 3. DA and QoT baseline health increased scaling 10% 7.

To make dodge and armor more meaningful you would have to increase autoattack damage. Currently for the majority of a game autoattack does paltry damage compared to skill damage for non-minion builds. Then when people get artifacts autoattack damage becomes extremely important and outscales even the current capacity for mitigation
