[quote who="pacov" reply="514" id="2506830"] oh and good job to clan GL. Got to play a game against them with one version of my premade yesterday and they wiped the floor with us. Maccilia (their team) appeared to have connection issues just before the end of the game and it desynced... to which, at least a few of them, temporarily, called us stat whores (implying that we/I cheat). I do take offense, but I'm happy to make clear that they destroyed my poorly perfor

Reply to New Favor item ideas in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

When I look at the selection of current favor items, I can't help but notice that most of them mimic purchasable items, or citadel upgrades, or even some abilities in some way, shape, or form. Also, most tend to be rather simple. When I use those observations as general guidelines, a couple of gaps that could be filled pretty easily which I'm very surprised havent been mentioned yet. For example, there should probably be some sort of lifesteal favo

[quote who="obscenitor" reply="49" id="2438660"] Even at level 20 with a Mageslayer UB with stats is only at 540 autoattack DPS. Assuming 40% mitigation, that's 324 DPS. With the same gear a non-stat UB does 470 mitigated DPS, or 282 DPS, a difference of only 42 DPS, hardly comparable to the 150-250 Spit does, and that's not even counting in the DPS gain from the Blade of the Serpent.

Acclimation implies that we reach at least lvl 15. A hybrid beast does not need to sacrifice acclimation to get there. Spit 5, ooze 4, grasp 1, inner beast/acclimation with one point left for post mortem or claws (probably). Yes, HP will be a bit lower by loosing out on HP from stats and BotF, but the damage gain from spit and flows is huge. Also, let's not forget the fact that spit is pretty incredible for pushing towers and that it gives

Reply to Is this a bug? in Demigod Problem Reports Demigod Forums

I dont think it's a straight multiplication or division however; it appears to be an addition or subtraction of the percentage instead (think current value minus 0.15max value, min value = 1). At least it seemed that way in the heat of the moment... I could very well be mistaken on that point. If that is the case, it would really be the equivelent of loosing the regen. For example, let's only consider the current value for, say, available MP (not total). Le

Is this a bug? in Demigod Problem Reports Demigod Forums

I've recently noticed something that is potentially a bug relating to the HP/MP flags. What it amounts to is that loosing an HP or MP flag that your team holds subtracts out HP/MP from your current amount available. While this sounds like it's working as intended, the consequence is that loosing an HP or MP flag can completly negate whatever HP/MP regen that your demigod has. Your demigod can be out in the field regenerating HP or MP for a while, but if you loose t

Reply to Single win strategy with locks in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I think I foresaw this months ago. And I agree, something could probably be changed for the better. One idea I had was if the flag lock was targetable and had a few thousand health to burn through, then it would break. Increases in price might work too, at least delaying the onset of locks.

Reply to Armor vs. HP in Demigod Demigod Forums

I generally agree wholeheartedly with the posters above. HP stacking helps with *all* incoming damage while armor only helps against normal attacks. When combined it's even better. HP stacking alone essentially automatically gives health regen as well as priest/idol heals are % based, and those heals greatly outpace any regen normally available.. There is also the fact that items like Sigal of Vitality are % based. Regen is largely only useful for recovering any

Problems with HoB are easily solved: no favor. It might be a rather hamfisted approach, but it would be flat out effective in preventing any cheezy tactics related to favor items. With regards to Sedna healing wind/high priests, I think it has to be allowed. Yes yes it is a bug or exploit (I'm not going to argue semantics here), but there is the perfectly logical scenario where there are 2 generals on a team and they would stagger priest idols. In that case, th

Reply to Balance suggestions for next patch wanted in Demigod Demigod Forums

I would suggest tweaking the priest creep/minion mechanic slightly. It has been reported elsewhere that an invisible debuff gets applied on a demigod after receiving a heal from a priest creep or minion which is unique to the type of unit applying it (eg a monk specific debuff, a high priest specific one, a bishop specific one, etc). This debuff prevents any additional healing from that type of unit for a certain amount of time (7 seconds IIRC). &nbsp

10. Is there any chance for some sort of character sheet for minions so we can explicitly see all of their stats in game? For example, double clicking on a summoned minion could bring up a character sheet, or small icons could be added to the UI showing the current minions that are out. It would be nice to see damage ranges, attack rates, move speeds, and armor values stated. This would really help to define exactly how much the minion damage items effec

It's easy to pick one skill and claim OP but you are ignoring several revelant factors. Regulus is one of the slowest, most vulnerable (hp/armor) demigods and has no form of heal, escape, stun, or interrupt of any kind. He gets the slow at level TEN. So the most vulnerable demigod gets

[quote who="Zechnophobe" reply="5" id="2292768"]Man, this thread makes me so conflicted: The real reason that I think mines are viewed as being too good by certain players, is not due to their strength per se, but in the cognitive dissonance that players have with the way they are used. Some people get it into their head that a 'mine' must be a 'trap' for the opponent, that they must be lured into. Yet they are just as effective as a combat trick, and dropping them at the fee

Mines are the most powerful *potential* burst damage in the game, period. Within just over one second of game time, one or several demi's could potentially eat 9 mines (6 from mines previously set, + one cast after they're popped). At level 7, that is a potential 3600 damage/target in about 1.5 seconds to anything in range of the aoe. There is no other single ability with that kind of potential damage/target in that short of a timeframe. The potential for that muc

This is a toughie. I kind of like the idea of the 500 + (50*lvl) formula idea, but I'm not convinced that it's necessary, or the best choice. However, what if the gold bonus was changed so that the 500 + (100*lvl) were the total amount given out, to be divided among everyone who assisted. Now instead of a potential 600 + 300x (where x = number of assists) at level 1, one would only divide 600 up between everyone who particpated in the kill. Anyways, just

We dont have any % based health regen, so why for mana? 2. Minion/Priest heals: --a.
