Reply to UB + Sedna Builds in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

[quote who="Kokujin" reply="8" id="2316983"]I already stated on this topic why I don't care for speed. BUT if speed is something I need to counter on the match, and it really something I have to do to win the game I will keep the same setup and buy Wand of Speed. Usualy unacessary. Could you provide an opposing team which I will need speed to win the game?[/quote] This sentiment is correct in general, but I would contend that speed is also useful for tactical maneuvering during b

Reply to UB + Sedna Builds in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I think its becoming pretty apparent from all the threads in this section that Sedna/Beast is a dominant 2v2 combination. My teammate and I use it as well, and have been slaying all comers, including several supposedly tough premade teams. While there isn't all that much room for variation I do detect some differences (in my opinion "deficiencies"), but of course I am biased for my own team's version. Specifically, I question UB taking stats 1-5 over DC 1 and IB 1-3 + A

Reply to Ooze: An Unclean Beast Guide in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Early game Spit can be useful against certain builds as a harassment tool, however, as DGs acquire larger and larger HPS, Spit becomes less a harassment tool and more a combat nuke. It functions in that role just fine, trading instant gratification for larger overall damage as compared to other nukes. Combined with the defensive effects and additional DPS of Ooze, this makes UB an attrition nightmare. I'd have to say Spit's main weakness is that it can be stripped early by Heal 3, whi

[quote]Heal has better efficiency than pounce, for sure. But it is also defensive in nature and comes with all the lacking benefits that an offensive one has.

Reply to Sedna end all thread, a.k.a. Sedna is NOT a healer in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Sedna is not just a healer, but heal is nevertheless one of her best abilities that should always be taken. Pounce spamming is fun for slaying noobs, but good opponents ruin its day. "Tank Sedna," on the other hand, is a top tier force at all levels of play. Prioritize Heal and Wind 2, stack tons of HP and Armor, get High Priests. P.S. Lol for including a Yeti build.

[quote who="Poul" reply="25" id="2312832"]Skills makes you fastest, I never said you need additional items. Sedna just IS the fastest Demigod in the game (+15% speed from skill). But i'm sure you know this already (and dunno why you are trying to hide this fact behind additional items). You don't need ANY additional item to be the fastest demigod.[/quote] Levels 2 and 3 of Grace are bad, you shouldn't get them.

Nesrie, I am one of the people you mentioned who "seem to think it's not okay for women to identify themselves as women while playing games or even on boards," however, you have misinterpreted my meaning. I am not a woman and therefore have no perception of how annoying or outraging it might be to be referred to by the incorrect pronoun, but I don't believe that the act of insisting on accuracy, in itself, is what is objectionable. What is objectionable is more of a broad attitude, something

You have 3 different ways to interrupt Charm, Bat, and Bite (Pounce, Silence, Penitence), 2 ways to remove snares (Heal 3, Shield 3), 2 ways to counteract snares (Grace, Surge), and 4 ways to not die (Heal, Shield, High Priests, Bishops). This doesn't sound like a difficult matchup.

Oak is really balanced, I like where hes at right now. He's got a fine list of skills which all synergize with eachother, and I already have trouble figuring out what order to get things in. The only critical balance change we need is some nerf to Horn and either minion given xp or a minion leash radius, or some mechanic to make sure people can't repeatedly rush your citadel with minions until its dead.

Reply to my sedna problem in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

I honestly can't imagine whats so good about Reckoning on Sedna. We're talking about an unreliable AoE that can't even fry most creeps or minions. For the price, Nimoth, Unbreakables, Vlemish, and High Priests are all way better, and if you already have those you can start getting more expensive stuff like Narmoths.

The overriding fact here is that all of this could be prevented by a arranged team + random team automatch mechanisms. I would accept something designed explicitly to mirror the system Battle.net uses for TFT. In that case all the "premades" get to play with their friends, against other premades, so all is fair. All the pubs get to play with other pubs against other pubs, so all is fair. In the absence of such a system, players are left to govern themselves, and let me tell you
