Huh?

There are two slots in each column. Why, if you have random light and random dark? 2 extra by my math.

And why discount my opinion? I`ve been playing Demigod for some time; endeavour to make more sense please.

One random only picks a general, one only picks an assassin, and the other 2 select a DG from the entire roster.

i dont think is warp aura is that bad, hes invulnerable for a few seconds (instant cast) and can take out a bunch of creeps for free exp. its useful when a tb is about to get a fireball off and the like, just my two pence

its not free exp .. u use mana to kill em

I see.

the warp area is mostly fine.

at level 1 it sux, but at level 2 u get decent  shield and a way to quickly kill waves.

the crit skill needs huge overhaul, and his aa should increase per level more, but hes on his way.

personally, i think shadow swap should do 2 second stun or at least a good slow to make it worthwhile.

but it u dont think he can kill in an average skill level:

Replay w/ DAs

I still find him unviable.

Being a melee fighter plus being as fragile as ranged demigods like Regulus, Torch Bearer or QoT is a no-win condition for this demigod. He just has no redeeming qualities. If at least he was fast and packed more punch, but he is rather slow at start (6.0 is slow for this kind of demigod) and hits as hard as any other melee demigod, but lacks their HP, Armor and/or Generals capabilities.

On top of all this he's as mana hungry or more than the most mana intensive TB, QoT or Regulus. He desperately needs a Mana Regen Favor Item as "Blade of the Serpent" or "Essence of Magic", but going for anything but "Blood of the Fallen" is practically suicidal. Any decent team will keep enemy DA well away from Flags or any kind of combat for the first 6-8 levels if DA doesn't pick BotF and wants to stay alive.

The last nail in his coffin is his cooldowns, at least if they were shorter u could go a glass cannon build and spam his (terribly mana intensive) abilities to take down towers or assassinate enemy demigods, but they're so long by the time they're recharged that enemy general or tower has recovered all the damage u inflicted to him.

I'm gonna try a BotF all passive-speed skills and see if that's worth anything, so far any other build isn't really competitive against pretty much anything but noobs.

DA isn't viable with BotF.  Don't get it, go with BotS.  If you're worried about getting ganked as DA, always hang onto sigils.  I get a sigil with DA from the very beginning of the game with DA, and I've had the most kills with him in every game.  Play him as an assassin rather than a tank.  Don't waste your skill points on passive skills or warp area until after level 10.  Think of him as a Reg or TB with faster burst damage but no area damage.
