Could you guys fix the Sedna healing wind II/high priest bug while you're at it? It's literally a one character change in the LUA files :P.

Ke5trel, want to give tips on early game shield usage? Particularly for initial encounters?

[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="21" id="2274135"] Seriously, why do people play Rook? How can anyone possibly think he might be OP? He can't run, he can't chase, he doesn't deal good damage except in very specific circumstances, and he doesn't have any particularly inspiring abilities. He's a stinking pile of low-tier crap, and I refuse to play any more games with one on my team. [/quote] Why are you judging Rook based on one bad pub player?

[quote who="Milskidasith" reply="23" id="2271709"] Without passives, you won't be killing anybody smart enough to run away.[/quote] I actually end up with more kills from spit than passives (comparing a pure ooze build to a spit/ooze build). The combination of the extra DPS and range more than makes up for them, kill-potential-wise. You sacrifice some tanking potential, of course.

My advice would be to pressure him early, if possible. Some things to help you do this: -Get armor. You can buy Scalemail and a Nimoth Chest easily. -Attack with your creep waves. They help absorb both tower damage and any damage from passives the rook might have taken. Minions from Sedna can help, too. -Try and figure out what items the rook has. If he's taken mana items over HP items, try and burst him down. If he's

I don't play a lot of queen but I like theorycrafting so here goes: Items: Favor: Blood of the Fallen Scaled Helm Banded Armor Vlemish Faceguard Unbreakable boots Nimoth Chest or Plenor Battlecrown Wand of Speed (total gold: 7100) Abilities: Bramble Shield 3 Ground Spikes 2 Shambler 1 Mulch 1 I think this would give a good balance

[quote quoting="post"] Q: How are sales? A: Mixed. Digital sales are great. Retail sales need work. We are hoping word of mouth on the game will encourage people to go to their local retailer and pick up the game. [/quote] I would wager future retail sales are going to hinge on how good the demo is. It's also hurt that it's taken this long to get a demo out. Make sure the demo is great!

If anyone's curious, here are the life expectancies if you remove the ooze attack speed debuff: HP Build 18.424833893036 18.7086396850086 15.5309808129847 15.6199298637656 15.7862726919594 15.9403363271948 18.2509186610441 15.6713342085885 15.341356651815 13.8055086690204 13.1528953006298 13.1903260480513 12.9825082610458 13.0112606591372 10.4893623344175 10.4243276610035 13.29174093

Other people have mentioned it, but just to stress it: Go in with creep waves. They'll absorb a lot of the tower damage, and give you some time to damage the rook. Hit and run with multiple creep waves as needed. I've seen this work well, especially early on (before the rook hits lvl 4).

[quote who="JagerJack" reply="18" id="2249675"] The point about removing spit was targeted more towards the general idea of it being good late game. I'm not saying it isn't, as it's great against buildings, but depending on spit is too risky for my taste. As for a hybrid vs pure ooze, a hybrid build will have to skip out on many of the passive upgrades in order to keep both ooze and spit at their highest rank. In addition to that, a hybrid build will need both a +mana it

So other than the chance they've taken a symbol of purity as their favor item, what ways does a UB have to remove spit in a duel with another UB? And since both UB's are using ooze, they won't be generating much hp/s. Remember, I'm arguing a very narrow situation here :P (late game non-spit ooze UB vs. ooze/spit hybrid UB).

[quote who="Milskidasith" reply="13" id="2249442"] Err.... what? Anecdotal evidence means nothing. Plus, if he had enough armor to where you weren't dealing much damage with AA's, you didn't outgear him very well. If you had beastial wrath, you were playing horribly anyway. If you had Ashkandor, you probably skimped on health/armor. So really, your play was at fault there, and anecdotal evidence is worthless. I could mention the numerous times I have beaten spit/Ooze UB's with my p

Elarain is correct. A UB with spit and ooze will beat a non-spit ooze build every time. I played a game where I went up against a spit/ooze UB with an Ooze/beastial wrath build, and even though I significantly outgeared the other UB, he beat me every time (I had been beating him early game till it got to late game). Since we both had ooze, coupled with armor, auto attacks weren't counting for much (even though I had ashkandor). His unmitigated spit damage made all the

Brad, Would it be possible to seperate disconnects and manual quits? My internet connetion isn't the best, and while I complete the majority of my games, my (legitimate) disconnects will probably add up. I'd rather people decide if they want to risk someone with a moderate connection instead of just assuming I'm a rage quitter. I don't leave games early, no matter how poorly they are going, and it would suck to get lumped into rage quitting because of

I mean, how could you... You're joking, right??! How is that even close to possible?!
