as i said try a 1v1 and we can see if full damage against full shambler shield is better without you being 2lvls above, having better demigod combo, and kills.
hey - no worries. I just thought you went with the usual shield/mulch/ground spike build. Was surprised that you had no offense. Anyway, you can prove me wrong, but I think the math works out that if I just stall you out, the extra dmg coupled with the lower amt of mana required for my build vs yours in combat, my build would win every time. The build you used is stronger when I'm level 1 - weaker if we fight at level 2. Close to even (but adv me) at 5. It would really come down to out maneuvering me - which you could pull off in a 1v1 with all your xp there. But as far as waiting and hoping you can outlast me - no - that won't work as long as I draw things out. You'll have to retreat. That's not to say at all that the build you used isn't solid against other dgs. I just don't think its viable my build vs yours 1v1. Anyway, math is on my side. You just have to outmaneuver me and get me to do something stupid... but you HAVE to do that if you can win. You are at a disadvantage if I'm patient.
Anyway, I'm all for our 1v1. Be ready for a slow and painful capture the flag game, though.
edit - visca - don't sweat talk trashing too much. Just do your thing and post a replay of an ass kicking. Believe me - seeing one ass kicking or hearing about it doesn't make me dismiss the effectiveness of a build. Everyone has their off games. Now if someone posts 10 games in a row of your QoT taking a beating on semi-even teams, then I'd think either the build is not effective or you are not with QoT. As it stands, I see one linked game that doesn't include a replay. I think most everyone on the forum knows that we all have bad games.
