[quote quoting="post"] today i was playing a few skirmish games with the rook , and i realised that he was extremely weak . i always died when i charged the enemy demigod and i did not alot damage . doesnt the description say that the rook deals alot of damage AND has alot of health ? anyway , maybe it was because of my gameplay ? could some one tell me how to play with the rook [/quote] This thread may interes
It sounds quite interesting. I'd remove most of the chance on activated skills, since I don't like that. It makes him less of a rouge/ninja/stealthy type and more of a random chance/luck type. It'd be much better to have a DG that dedictade to random chance and luck. There is also a major problem. The enemy can easily get something to remove his cloak (those 50g items), so he needs a way to counter them. I guess one way is to buy his own and kill the enemies, but I don't know if that'

Funny, because when I was playing DotA (and hosting because if I didn't the game usually lagged) I remember that even one player with high ping ruined it for everyone and a single lagger would lag the whole game up. Both are symptons of a p2p system. Since it's my word against yours, you're going to have to quote a source (preferably a Blizzard website).

[quote who="Ouchy Dathurts" reply="18" id="2170451"] True story. Warcraft technically uses peer to peer but it's not truely peer to peer. P2P in WC involves the peers (everyone else in the game) connecting to a single peer (host). It's far closer to a server client system though. Although the server is a person not battlenet itself.[/quote]Source? [quote] Everyone connects to the server (host) then the host takes that information and sends it out to the players (
None. They have no affect on gameplay. I think they say First blood is important because it gives you a gold advantage (and disadvantages the one who died). Really though it's pretty insignifacnt and shouldn't sway the game much.
[quote who="Windexglow" reply="16" id="2170320"]Wc3 melee games are hosted upon servers, which players connect to. In custom games, all players connect to a single server(the host), in which the host sends information to all the other players. Player(2) and player(3) don't communicate directly I believe. If the host goes down, than the game searches for a new one. If it can't find one, than the game ends.[/quote]Source?
Ok, whenever I try to use the ingame chat, I get a "closing link: liq3 (my_ip) (excess flood)" message (not exact, but close). Help would be appreciated.
[quote who="Balthagor" reply="7" id="2170059"]I'd be more intersted in a hotkey to make all units except my DG invisible for a moment.

Well, people make hateful remakes, not the quitters. Yeh, I can understand feeders... Though it's kinda funny when a whole team feeds. lol. I just find the amount of gold you get atm fine. I usually die at most 5 times in a game, and that's pretty terrible play for me (or someone else fed the enemy...). My average deaths per game is probably around 2, which is about 2000 gold, so you can see why I don't find the amount you get a problem.
[quote who="Teseer" reply="18" id="2168164"] If one person on the team makes a few bad choices early on and dies say...4 times before level 8 to one person, that person will be much more powerful (obviously)..[/quote]FOUR DEATHS BEFORE LEVEL EIGHT?! o.O Anyone who dies even FOUR times in an entire GAME, without having a 1:1 kill:death ratio or better, was making mistakes. The winner of an RTS game is usually "he who makes less mistakes". Also kill aren't everything.
[quote who="innociv" reply="16" id="2168590"] Quoting liq3, reply 9 They got 26,000 gold how exactly? Ashkandor's price alone is enough to upgrade priests, angels, catas and giants all at once. Um.. It's irrelevant. These are the predominant items. Next after you have those you'd probably get bracelet of rage. Then you're doing like 1500DPS with, when hammer slam is much less DPS than that in melee range and it's easy to avoid while autoattacks hit

[quote who="innociv" reply="21" id="2167729"] Anyways. Using skills should be the predominant way to play. Sitting there and auto attacking takes much less skill. You get mageslayer and ashkandor on regulas and it can be pretty gg with that huge +dmg, crit, and ias to proc crit more and add more dps from the stacked ias not to mention their other bonuses.[/quote]They got 26,000 gold how exactly?

[quote who="AngryZealot" reply="1" id="2167953"]You are right. Currently they stack as in 2 * 4 = 8x damage. It should do 5x damage. (Not 6x, because 6x would count the base damage twice.)[/quote]I see your reasoning, although it makes crit stacking pointless, and changes the crits to static 10% and 30% damage boosts. The way it works now, having both crit items gives you an extra 3% damage boost. Hardly significant.
Everyone DG is overpowered and underpowered depending on who you ask.
Doesn't change the fact I had 5000hp and 2500 armour with TB. :/
[quote who="Red Arremer" reply="7" id="2167018"]I prefer to ignore towers of light and focus on spamming hammer on creep waves to gain an experience advantage.[/quote]With towers you can sit around at level 5 spamming them non-stop (ok not non-stop, but it's easy to maintain 3-4). These towers will own any creeps that get close. :/
[quote who="transitive" reply="12" id="2167658"]its easy to under-estimate the Torch because he dies so easily. you really can't lead an attack on your own as TB, its just a recipe for getting a quick death. on the other hand if you're working with someone kinda tanky who can either help keep you alive or help keep enemies controlled you get to seriously abuse the massive AoE and burst damage potential of Torch's numerous damage spells. you will, however, su
Here's some counters... Tower Spamming Rook - Take out his towers and his screwed, or distract them with creeps and kill him quickly. Erebus with minions is extremely annoying when playing this build, since his minions absorb all the tower fire, allowing Erebus to walk in and attack. The only other real option is to overwhelm Rook with several DGs at once.
Here's an idea. Wait until he uses the stun, THEN teleport away while it's on cooldown.
[quote who="WNxOdin" reply="5" id="2166496"]I tend to play Rook in a similar fashion but instead of getting armor early on I invest in the gold upgrades at Cit and save for Bulwark of Ages and Belt of Giants, the cleave ability makes Rook dominate the creep/minions.[/quote]Well a point in God's Strength gives him a splash knockback on small units. That or he gets it some other way. Don't much like Rook for killing creeps tho, other chars are much better at it. QoT, Torchbearer,

[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="9" id="2166179"]Reg, UB and TB are better assassins for crowd control. It may seem the Rook does it more economically, but his cheap approach bites him hard in the ass when catapultosauri come strolling in.[/quote]He's the best at holding the line against enemy DGs. I fended off an Oak 4 times with Rook once, before having to retreat due to mana loss.
