Oak's Raise Dead Ward is invincible - intended behavior?

from Demigod Forums

Oak's Raise Dead Ward cannot be killed. This is retarded. Oak can just put up 4 wards by my tower and then go to another lane, while the invincible wards continue to spawn an endless supply of spirits. Once you get fully upgraded ward, with the 75% conversion chance, it is almost self-sustaining. Add in normal creep combat nearby and wards become totally overpowered pushing machines. Plus, spirits don't grant any gold or XP to the enemy team, so they get no benefit out of staying to defend their towers from the spirits.

If this is intended behavior, then why does the ward have 300 HP?

No idea, but if you make Oak's wards attackable with only 300 hp, his minion builds will just dissapear. Find Oak, Kill oak. Spirits and wards go *poof*. And while true, spirts are decent, a decent tower should shred them. As long as you have the health and firepower upgrades, I just cannot see this being a very viable tactic.

Just give the wards Rook tower health and make them attackable.  That should fix it.

The wards can be killed, however they are currently only targetable by minions.

I play Oak and please consider this: one lucky shot by a Torchy can kill my spirits and they tend to drift over enemy towers and whatnot. My point being: they die a lot. Other demigods like Senda or QoT kann just summon their minions, while Oak players have to run around on the map and place those wards. Then minions have to die in the target area to create new spirits before anything happens. It works great when you have death ward IV but it's a lot of work with the early levels.

Please do me a favor and play a few games as Oak on a larger map and see for yourself that it is far from powerful with one or two points in that skill. Sure, it's powerful in lategame but it should be, I put 4 points in that skill!

it has to be the intended behavior, if you place destructable wards, any half good team will destroy all of them and the oak will never have any spirit. They should just tweak the hp of the ward to show that it is undestructible.
