[quote who="jonthemon" reply="9" id="2325683"]Wrong - You would get a combined total of 180 damage. Your problem is that you forget to incorporate the flat damage increase you get from soul power (20) per increase of its level and the 20 bonus damage you get for merely having one spirit out. Ok, afaik, Oak's Soul Power buff doesn't do anything if there are no spirits out. To get even the listed damage, you have to have 1 spirit out. So, your math is somewhat off because you're doub

[quote]Box's build is just fine because...[/quote] Thanks Eskendale. Look at all that wisdom! Woot! You are right about this build. But now I want to do some encouraging because oherwise some folks will get downhearted: [quote]If I could warn anyone who uses this build of one thing, I would say that any build that stresses ranged attacks in a hit and run fashion--using spit / fireball / penitence--will have most of the damage negated by anyone who stacks

Paco! Thanks for giving it all a go like this. I think Blood Soaked Oak is at his best in 3v3. 5v5 tends to be too messy and 2v2 requires alot from a player. 1v1 is not good for Blood Soaked Oak. Just remember to pelt enemy demigods with Penitence and farm gold and experience as much as you can. Regain health and mana from enemy creep waves. Attack enemies with your friends, etc. All things I know you are doing, Paco. I just want people to feel proud and

[quote]I'm trying to wrap my head around why I should play this instead of a Sedna.[/quote] My friend: I believe your dilemma resides in the fact that you are looking for an efficient healing build rather than a playful, support build. Your goals are slightly different than mine and that happens alot in gamers. I remember when I played Diablo 2 with my friend John.... One day I offered to give him an item I had traded alot of gold to get for him (he had been hun

You won! AND with a positive Kill Death Ratio! Muhahahahahahaha!!! Good show Paco! (..^^..)

[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="5" id="2318079"]I've always been a little hesitant on using builds that rely on your opponent making a huge, stupid mistake and dying as a result... [/quote] It's true: Bishops are amazing healing. I am hard pressed to justify their absence. However, the benefit of reduced damage and increased health points from both armors at the start of the game are just as effective in my opinion. Getting monks at the start simply prolongs obtainin

[quote who="pacov" reply="3" id="2318047"]i get what you are saying about not getting monks... but so far in the few games I've tried this build, people see what they think is a poor oak build and make mistakes... then shield and heal and they die or run... plus if its 2v2 and ur ally is with you, he gets a quick heal and you can mop them... so far, i like this build.

[quote who="VyperXXX" reply="18" id="2307944"] would you like a refund shadow? sounds like you would like a refund [/quote] Shadow loves this game. He is simply trying to make his point and his interests seen and read. If you cannot accept anything less than the eloquence of Shakespeare then go public theatre. Leave him alone and let him get his points across.

[quote who="Shadow" reply="4" id="2306494"] It's an ancient replay at this point. Only a few days after the birth of the strategy. [/quote] I apologize for my tardiness on the posting. I have no good excuses. Despite it's age (a few weeks) I still believe it to be a great strategy and wonderful show of teamwork.

[quote who="dgl-DalzK" reply="1" id="2305974"]Replays are currently broken and dont work 95% of the time (they freeze after about 10 mins). [/quote] I am posting and keeping the link refreshed as much as possible. I refresh the link every 10 downloads so others can get. I'm sure the replay patch will come out soon.

Hi Everyone. I wanted to present to you all the source of the new massive minion Erebus trend! In these repalys _Shadow and his team show an admirable coordination and gameplay know how. I believe it a great lesson to others to watch them in action. http://rapidshare.com/files/257361318/Shadow___Co_V_Box___Friends.DGReplay http://rapidshare.com/files/257926262/Shadow___Co_V_Box___Friends_2.DGReplay

In response to Csebal's post: [quote]I belive too many people are looking at the items in a static fashion. Sure selling it costs 20% of its price, but still.. if an item is good in a certain phase of the game...[/quote] As more and more people acclimate themselves to the game I see matches go faster and faster as well as more and more gold get spent on citadel upgrades. In this environment of greater competition there is no time to spend that ext

I've tried using Diamond Pendant on a spam penitence/surge of faith Oak but do not see the cast time go down in seconds on the screen OR get the feeling that the spells are on shorter cooldown at all!! Can someone please verify me if Diamond Pendant works and whether or not it is useful for a Penitence / Surge Oak?

[quote who="_Shadow" reply="8" id="2287182"]JagerJack playing against AI doesn´t count into statistics. Yes it does. Most of the time, in any case. In custom games, no it doesn't. [/quote] I'm not talking about a full AI match. I'm talking about people who add AI to both sides of the match.

The Horn of Battle is a wonderful item, however I believe it would be more reasonable if the Demigod Commander were required to be in the near vicinity of his creeps in order to inspire them with the Horn ability.

I believe that Demigods should be able to port without their minions. They may be escorting another player, attacking another objective, or healing up at the fountain. I request that in order to move minions with you on a portation scroll that you must select the minions you wish to take with you. If only your Demigod is selected then only he will port to your destination. Any minions you select will follow and the minions you do not stay where they are located.

Warlord's Punisher would be a more popular item if the cast time were lowered to 1 second.

I continue to disagree. AI is definitely easily beaten with or without human players to babysit them. I do not feel the need to extrapolate to players and Stardock crew who are familiar with the game and its nuances. I believe I have expressed myself conscisely and appropriately and that you have no grounds on which to find fault. And online gaming is about multiplayer.

I disagree because of afore-mentioned reasons. Custom games should not count towards Ladder Ranking. Any imbalances in Pantheon and Skirmish ranking systems should also be addressed. I have one such post on AI usage here: http://forums.demigodthegame.com/358045

Kryo: I believe that Pantheon is interesting and fun as a "have no idea who im up against of who is with me" match!! If you folks can someone program Pantheon to prevent people from disconnecting from matches before they begin then Pantheon will become a playground where true friendships and rivalries will be made. I request that instead of Team Pantheon that Pantheon simply not allow disconnection from the first matchup made for the players. If people want to p

I have also made posts requesting changes in Ladder Rankings. http://forums.demigodthegame.com/358047 http://forums.demigodthegame.com/358045 Thank you for writing about this. If we express ourselves as a community then things will get done. Boxleitner

NOTE: Please sign if you agree. The Demigod Ladder should be a clear example of which players in the Demigod community are the best among us. Unfortunately, this ranking table is skewed sharply by the inclusion of custom matches as of the latest patch. People who play custom games can easily determine who to play with or against. Pre made teams on Ventrilo and Teamspeak who have practiced endless hours will have a significant advantage over completely new player

NOTE: Please Sign if you Agree A great deal of Demigod players are excited and driven about achieving a high ladder ranking. However, the ranking system is flawed in more than one way; one of which is the fact that some players face Artificial Intelligence foes and recieve credit for it. Because the AI in the game is rather easily beaten at this time, playing a match against them results in an easy victory that improves a player's ladder reputation. Furthermore,

[quote]It doesn't work that way. It doesn't turn into a race for who wins first. It may have been that way a while ago but not anymore. Now, when the hosts disconnects, it tries to find a new host at random from the remaining players. Once it has selected a new host, whoever is in the host's game that he's playing will be the one that is counted, and all other games will not be counted. [/quote] Bara!
