Generals imbalance

May 18, 2009 10:50:22 PM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

Hey guys, just thought i'd point out what i see as a design flaw regarding generals.

 

Alot of items increase minion damage/health/resistance/whatever. The problem with this is that some generals (such as erebus) can have up to 12 minions while a general like sedna has a maximum of 4 (totems excluded).

This causes a serious disparancy between the effectiveness of these generals minions. For example, if an items boosts minion damage by 10, then erebus total minion dps is increased by 10x12 = 120 while Sedna would only see an increase of 10x4= 40

 

This issue could be solved pretty easily by including a modifier so that generals with less minions gain a more significant boost or by increasing the boosts associated with each item and then applying the buff by diving them equally among the minions. For example, if an items boosts damage by 10, then 10 would be divided by 12 and each of erebus's minions would see a damage boost of 0.8 while 10 would be divided by 4 and all of sedna's minions would see a boost of 2.5

 

What do you guys think?

The real imbalance is may be that, while generals have plenty of general-only items (at least insofar as that a lot of the bonuses are irrelevant to assassins), there are no real assassin-only items except favor ones.

Well what i'm saying is that items that boost minions are much more effective when using erebus or that other guy in the suit of armor, underpowering that flower girl and sedna.

I think maybe they should think of actually giving Assassins "assassin" only items since yeah Generals seem to get their own....I mean minions help a Sedna tons, not only does she have heal, she can have heal minions.....yeah.

Trust me, Sedna's minions are just fine. She doesn't need them to kick incredible amounts of ass.

You speak as if assasins needs somthing other than more attack rate and more weapon damage .... which is plentiful in so many items...

This can be solved easily by greatly increasing the yeti attack stock attack speed (thus, 4 yetis would do the same number of attacks in 10 as 12 nightcrawlers for example) since all the minion attack bonuses are either flat damge bonus or attack speed (which should scale correctly already)

Demigod specific items would be the best way to solve this really but, +% damage is probably the best choice now,,,
