I used to think tower Rooks were OP as well. But then I played some more and found it they weren't. Especially

Well now that I actually understand what the tool tip with Deep Freeze was trying to say, I also think it's fine and working as intended.

Reply to Some thoughts on the Priest upgrade in Demigod Demigod Forums

There is something wrong when we could roll Priest>angles>Cats into one espensive upgrade and it wouldn't really change the game at all. Actaully, it would probably make it better because then "newb" players wouldn't be able to make the mistake of buying Priests early :D Early Priests needs to be viable just for the sake of diverse strategies in this game. What should be done? A buff to damage and healing, or a nerf to gold and XP?

[quote] "oh TBs Fire Aura III is +15% attackspeed, +15% movementspeed, +30 damage"[/quote] Well this is just something that should come up in the tool tips. That is silly that type of information isn't avalible right now. But besides that, you SHOULD be able to learn about this game by playing more. If you're playing agains Erebus and you can't figure out how a certain combo killed you in less than 5 seconds, play as Erebus youself to see what kin

[quote]This havent been confirmed to be a bug or a feature, but all evidence leads to it being a bug. Otherwise, why isnt it mentioned as a drawback of the fire form in the skill description?[/quote] I wish we could get an offical state ment on this. I think if the TB in Fire mode could chase and shoot at the same time, it would make a Hyrbrid build even more versitale. Like being able to take Fire Aura instead of Permafrost to chase down enemies...or maybe that's why y

[quote](You cast somehing with a 7 second CD, 8 seconds after casting you get hit with a 100% Deep Freeze, CD goes to 14 seconds and locks out the skill again.)[/quote] Ah ok. So the trick is you cast Deep freeze when the cool down is about up or ended recently. So for example...bare with me... Lets say I cast Rain of Ice(14 sec. cool down). At about the 14-15 second mark I get hit with a Deep Freeze IV. It is then reset to a 30 second but since 14 seconds alrea

[quote]if an erebus gets staff of warmage, he is able to cast nearly 2 extra bites(plus potions). but of course you cannot know this if it is in the first minute of the game and you cannot see the enemies items/mana.[/quote] Yeah but anyone can do this. Why are "surpises" not pro?

Ah, well maybe that's my problem. I haven't been stacking the speed items [e digicons]:drool:[/e] I guess I've been trying to go without them because it does seem like speed buffs pwn in this game. I wanted to go for different items to see when they were effective. I've using Blood of the Fallen all the time lately. I just got enough points for Staff of Renewal so I'm gonna give that a go.

[quote]I think it's doing what it was designed to do by the devs, but that some people are expecting it to work differently cuz of the wording of its description.

[quote]I don't disagree with the principle. There's no reason to show enemy cap locks, it's a good mystery to keep track of. However, the Fog of War thing isn't a good argument. You can see flags through fog, for one thing, and you get to keep track of enemy death timers even if they died hidden in fog.[/quote] I think you took the Fog of War thing to literal. If you kill an enemy no matter where they are, visible or Fog of War, there announcer yells it out and you s

Reply to Deep Freeze/Mass Charm bug still exists in Demigod Demigod Forums

This is what I always wondered. If Deep Freeze is supposed to increase cooldowns, but it says the effect only last 7 seconds, doesn't that mean abilities with a cooldown of 7 seconds or more aren't really effected? So in it's currently state it's only reliable for it's Interupt/Shatter mechanic?

I've used a Hybrid build for a while. Before I would just go Rain of Ice, Fireball, Deep Freeze untill I get Fire and Ice. Then I'd dump the rest of my points into Ring of Fire er something. I tired your setup, utilizing Permafrost and Fire Nova a little early, and I have to say I'm doing worse. Mostly because I don't seem to notice Permafrost doing anything. When I get it, my opponenets are still running me down or getting away from me. And the slower attack speed is n

[TB] Trouble with Generals with Priest Minion in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I have huge troubles with Generals that get early Priests minions when I play with my Torch Bearer. I try to play conservitive and run when I'm low, but the Priest kinda negate any harassment damage I do to them. I then have trouble farming creeps in the lanes around them. They are able to chase me away. Plus, sometimes I'll stick it out to try and kill them, and their Priests will pop out a clutch heal at the right moment and I die. Making me look like the newb feeding them kills. So
