[quote who="Danbotics" reply="3" id="2280111"]An assas queen can be usefull. Oddly, i try and get high minitaurs just to absorb tower damage as i spike/sheild a cluster. But, back to your build. Goodcall on the lvl 2 sheild. I have started to do this too. Picked it up just before epoch2 started. I have been trying to play her as a general since epoch 2. I was #4-7 with queen when i played her like an assas, and now playing her like a general

[quote who="blockkiller" reply="1" id="2279603"]I think getting minions IV is worth it as they are stronger then, at lvl 15 thats more usefull then tribute. [/quote] Fair enough, but the later you get tribute, the less of an impact is has on your overall gold. The step up in morale is not an overwhelming signifigance.

QoT minion build: The Unassailable Flower(safe & easy) Updated Jan 26th, 2010 to reflect 1.2 patch changes. So if the posts below don't make sense, you aren't going crazy. Synopsis: Keep your flower closed the entire match, stop dying damnit. You should know how to play the game competently, so general tactics are not discussed. There are already many posts on a variety of tactical subjects (shield use, lane control, assaulting structures, team play etc...) C

Does the "A lesson on form" guide not work for anyone else too? I open it and get a blank page.

[quote who="MABManZ" reply="1" id="2278902"] Quoting Teseer, reply 16 There's not much you can do. I've done a minion build Oak that just feels...unfair. I think minions need a complete rework. Either: A: Minions have a very SLIGHT impact on the game if you dont spec into them B: Minions are downright cheap if you spec into them. I can't think of a good middle ground though. The answer i

Please for the love of the All Father, remove AIs from Pantheon. If this can't be done, then you must make them the "Hard" level of single player cheating.

[quote who="Foreshadowed" reply="25" id="2271871"]Is there anyway you could make this guide shorter? atm its way too fracking long [/quote] Formula: Bite > Coven (1) > Improved Conversion(1) > Bat Swarm &or Coven(2) > Coven(3) > Conversion &or Coven; Exception: Level 9 == no skill choice Result: Pwn N00bs/AI, be a dangerous pain in the ass for all other players. Items: Whatever floats your boat within the "play to win" master item list

To optimize your choosen build: I usually go shield 1st, as with competent team mates you can kick people out of the lane nearly immediately. It's funny to see them come back at level 1 and you are level 3, and the "I cant wait until shield is nerfed" comments can be quite hilarious. It's also useful if you have an AI teammate in order to prevent an early farm kill. For certain you do not need Shamblers 4. Reasoning: If you lose 4 shamblers at once you did somerthing wrong.

1) At the beginning of the match, I went to buy my favor item, and started walking to the shop. 2) I hit "Yes" to confirm the purchase at the same time I transitioned to the shop screen. 3) The shop UI would not allow any purchases, nor could I close it. Notes: I could close the shop screen by moving my DemiGod on the screen, however returning to the shop still prevented purchases Workaround: Return to Favor Screen, buy favor item and then everything would be w

Heh, QoT shield = life. Shield costs mana I can see QoT players doing this in a heart beat once they learn it.

Yeah, but is it really a stun? It's a grapple, and the UB is just as immobile as you are when he does it.

Things change, people get angry... but the changes were desperately needed. 1st off, hooray for lowering the gold/xp provided by priests and angels. Sure, there is a right time and a wrong time to upgrade minions, but now choosing the wrong time is not an immediate spiral to rapid and complete destruction. Second, good, the Heart of Life is an artifact now. It easily provided the greatest way to disrupt an equal game. Now it is reserved to an end game, "OK let's hurr

7100 gold is such a weird nunber, how about around 7100 since you should be able to wait 10 seconds at the shop + usually I am upgrading items too so it is not so clear how much money you have available at any given time? Regardless 3x Bramble Shield 3x Ground Spikes 1x Spike Wave Items: Swift Anklet Boots of Speed Scaled Helm Banded Armor Teleport Scroll Universal Gadget Mana Potion Sell Banded Armor get Hauberk<

The point is, things like shield on allies, heals on allies, taking non-selfish skills like permafrost or fire aura, or using favor items like blood soaked wand or buying things like sludge slinger help your allies beat you to the punch in the other categories, yet can often be the difference between a win and a loss, so you don't get any reward for helping them score better than you. I guess the point is, using a shield on yourself or heal on yourself would not contribute t

This new category that would grant favor points at the end of the match would be for doing non-lethal, useful team stuff. eg: Healing, shielding, debuffing enemies, using items like Totem of Revelation, flag lock etc... Rules would need some thinking, probably a score based on mana cost, or item cost of the application of the power for "team spirit".

[quote who="transitive" reply="11" id="2268443"]my recommendation would be to do a barrel roll. [/quote] Hax! ;)

[quote who="Zechnophobe" reply="10" id="2268350"]Orion, I do hope you realize that Khan was wrong when he said that. They did, in fact, get away. Just FYI. [/quote] Not in my imagination. :D

WHat? I love QoT at level 15, she is indestructible and can slow anyone to their doom. Goddess of thorns + Spike Wave + Wyrmskin gloves = /Khan quote "No, you can't get away!" Mwhhaaaaa

Let's be clear that 2 UB vs 2 Reg on Prison is not so imblanaced as you might think when played right. Although not the original purpose of the post, I will add some more details on the game. 1) You are almost always in perfect snipe range, even when they are regenerating at their crystal, so you will be eating arrows in the face constantly. 2) There is little manuvering room, so the enemy never gets caught with you inbetween them and their base. 3) The com

OK, so on prison it was 2 UB (us) vs 2 Reg The game was pretty even until around level 15 and we had the speed and items to gank at will any reg who strayed too far from base so we were putting good pressure on. Then the Regs pushed to giants and we were broke because we had items. :D WHat is the best way to proceed in this situation? In hindsight I am thinking sell items and tech up to giants too? Buffing defenses as we could afford it is what we ended

I didn't have any real disconnects yesterday. I did sit in the "Connection Info" screen for 5+ minutes once before canceling. +1 disconnect +1 loss. :(

I guess the point I am trying to make. Yes, everyone will have Blood of the Fallen after Day 1 but... Would it be better if you didn't have Blood of the Fallen because you started Day 1 later in the evening you could have, for example, Swift Anklet before most other people earn Blood of the Fallen? There might be a problem when people are arguing about the most expensive favor items being less useful then Blood of the Fallen, a moderate favor item. For certain havin

Figure I would ask here since this is where most people check. The situation: You have come home from work, and start a Pantheon game at 9pm. In your second match, you come across 2 guys who have blood of the fallen and you have nothing? You are pwn? I am thinking if Blood of the Fallen was worth more, say around 1000 favor, you could at least have a chance at having something like swift anklet while you work your way up to Blood of the Fallen on Day 1 of a new P

Don't move, the ball will pass over, arc around and hit. If you move, the projectile vanishes. Of course this is easier said then done if there is an enemy DG around.

I have an objection. Demigod crashed on me yesterday. It counted as a disconnect and loss. The next game I ended up with the same teammate, who told me not to rage quit. :D Can you guys maybe add a way for the online client to check the event log, and discount a game if the log shows the demigod exe stopped interacting around a certain time a disconnect was counted?
