[quote who="TheGuildfordStrangler" reply="8" id="2209282"]I love it whenever I play against an Erebus that uses mist, because it just means I can move behind them and then continue attacking them when they reform.[/quote] I use mist, mostly past level 8 and beyond where everyone has gotten some dough for more gears, upgrades, etc. Mist works best for clearing grunt waves, and secondly if you have a large enough mana pool, you can kill the opposing demigods minions (while heali

[quote who="Chaosnaska" reply="14" id="2209134"]Its horrible with Erebus. seems like Erebus is stuck on his own bullshit after casting Batswarm and won't do anything for a good 1second, not even move. This naturally sucks because, what does any player do right after batswarm? Thats right, bite, then try to whittle him down while he is slowed. Now, its batswarm, he runs, i run after him and he reaches tower before i get a bite on him... LAMESAUCE. [/quote]</p

I want to hear some strategies or theories on how people save and spend their gold, and what on. We all do something with our first 1000g, buying some of the minor bonus items to get ready for first few battles. But what about after that? How much gold do you save up before heading back to town? What do you buy? Do you go back every time you have enough to buy the next item on your list? Do you have a list of item progression? Or do you jsut kind of go with the flow of

I agree with many of your strategies, I have indeed found anything beyond the first level of mass charm completely useless, as it's only used to stop a tele-scroll or a slow attack. I feel mana is just a little to vulnerable to Mist before you have some good mana items, and so I usually don't get mist until Level 6 and general only really start using it at level 8 with Mist II. I save my mana for bite and 1v1 confrontations. Past that, it's a bonified killer, and a ski

[quote who="goldmull" reply="7" id="2208853"]great! you ripped a part of my sentence out of context and intentionally misunderstood it! well done, you're so sweet [/quote] I didn't intentionally misunderstand anything. I may have misunderstood your comment. I think you feel that because Erebus is able to achieve things other demigod's can't without spending gold or favor points because of his abilities / skillset, you feel the game is imbalanced. Correct? If

[quote who="goldmull" reply="5" id="2208660"] The point is he can do all the same things you can do to keep the flag working for you, but there's one thing he can do which you cant. and that's where it is imbalanced and exploitive behaviour to do so. he just doesnt have to spend any money or use his favor item slot for it! dont you see?![/quote] Damn, it's so cool to be Erebus, because I can sprout little light tow

[quote who="Jaradakar" reply="11" id="2205303"] If you sell an Idol, any minions summoned from it should be un-summoned. Fixed, no longer an exploit.[/quote] Completely agreed, although I use this tactic myself sometimes because it's currently what the game allows and I always run into people on the opposite team who do it as well, I do believe it is unfair. You can buy level 2 siege cannons for 1050g, summon them, sell the idol, and still have like

Or not balanced as in because since every player get's bite, he's not balanced with other characters? Who cares if one skill in his tree is

[quote who="Vielfrass" reply="5" id="2204991"] I'm shocked at how little used it seems to be.[/quote] A lot of early guides simply left out mist, and so my theory is a lot of people went with a minion build. That's what I did, until one day I was tinkering with the rest of his skills and found out how useful mist was. I really don't start using mist regularly until level 8, because by the I usually have a large source of mana plus heart of life so the mana it drains is n

[quote who="InfiniteVengeance" reply="19" id="2200748"]Think of it this way. Did anyone who played Erebus ever NOT get bite? No? Then clearly the ability is not balanced. Two solutions - nerf it, or buff all the other abilities until they are just as useful.[/quote] You must be playing one of those crazy "No-Healing" Sedna builds, how exciting! You know, the character may have been designed with this ability integral to his gameplay. Try Sedna with no h

[quote who="si1foo" reply="7" id="2201541"] by a 100 are u retarded really come one 100+pnto the mana per sec that means in about 5 secs u will be out about 750 mana he is mobile requires health and ass shit armor his armor is so low and his health isn't much better he needs to have bat swarm toned down a bit because it drains so much mana as it is and bite people have bitched about so much it makes them stupid

[quote who="Zoobi07" reply="8" id="2200763"] Only bad erebus use bite at full health. Waste of mana for 900 damage.[/quote] Only bad erebus thinks that Erebus player's are bad if bite is their first attack, because they are silly in the head and forget about the armor reduction so Erebus' auto-attack and his minions do more damage while waiting for cooldown, by which time you'll hit it again and gain any life back, and it will also slow him down and prevent him from running right

Super-Duper-Lame-Face-God-This-Sucks Goes to show if enough people complain about something it will get changed.... /Sigh How 'bout them Sedna nerfs and UB spit going to melee? That coming soon too?

[quote who="Beardking" reply="23" id="2199345"] He is very mana dependant and requires a great deal of itemization to overcome this [/quote] Dealing with the mana issue is a BIG problem till about level 5. Early our hits are dinky and we are squishy, once we run out of mana and there's no more bite = huge problem. Two items and mana is no problem. Total cost = 6,000g Vlemish Faceguard 1750g and Heart Of Life 4250g Vlemish for the Mana Regen, the

[quote who="fraggelsmurf" reply="18" id="2198629"]Erebus is squishy and the bite is the only thing that keeps him alive. [/quote] Well, it is a huge part of it, but being able to avoid damage with mist and bat swarm are important too.

I think an important fact to remember is that most people, including myself, call other characters overpowered if they have a hard time dealing with 1v1, which is not everything this game is balanced around (although it is a major component). I for one think UB's spit should have melee range, which would eliminate all the kills he gets from getting in range while you're running away and spitting. Otherwise I feel the combo of Spit / Foul Grasp / Spit does too much damage in a short pe

The two worst characters for Erebus to face (at least for me) are Sedna and UB. Sedna has a nuke that does more damage then Erebus and she heals herself faster, she can be a tough battle for Erebus is she takes a healing route early in the game. UB is pretty scary too, Spit then foul grasp then spit again and your basically dead. I try to be very wary around him. Erebus has a pretty good bag of tools that allows him to deal with a lot of situations, and the strength re

[quote who="TheGuildfordStrangler" reply="15" id="2198530"]Mists damage against creeps is laughable. You're better off slugging through them, or just using bats on them. You are aware that Erebus lacks the ability to actually win any games, as he can't really kill a citadel(weak attacks, and squishy nature, as well as having no skills to actually hurt it with, mean that his anti-citadel abilities are pitiful at best). Erebus needs allies if he wants to win. Sure, he's probably over

[quote who="Vielfrass" reply="12" id="2198449"]where his lack of effectiveness against towers and creeps [/quote] Mist ftw against creeps. You're totally right about the towers, still trying to come up with a more effective solution for getting rid of them rather than just tinkering away. But hunting and trying to pick off DG's is my number one priority. The only two I'm wary of are UB and Sedna if she's shown to be skilled earlier in the game, thenI try to 2v1 them.</
