penitence is a must when players try to run away, it's your snipe. It's also worth tossing one in in the beginning of an engagement to increase the damage the other player takes. Generally, spirits die instantly at towers, so they don't help until later anyway.
I've mostly found TB to be annoying to play against; ring of fire is used for leveling in safety, and deep freeze for preventing people from locking portals, or Sedna from healing.
I've got a ton of games installed on my HD, and a pile of Xbox games on the shelf, because I never know what I will want to play, either solo or with friends. I've never really looked at a 'community' as a measure of how much enjoyment I get from a game, but to each his own, I guess.
Everything was fine until this evening, and now this problem is constant.
It's possible to interrupt fireball, and a few other TB abilities, but DA's animations make interrupting his abilities nearly impossible.
The most serious problem the character has now is that he is impossible to see in a big fight. In a 4v4, forget about it, he's practically invisible, and after a warp attack or two, he's lost forever.
Reg and TB need a lot of skill to play well, I've seen a couple people with amazing Reg/TB, but yes, swapping skill near a UB is instant death for Reg, and it's really difficult to hold a flag as either of these characters.
Just played against one as Oak, and while I was shielded, teleported back to my cit for health, but DA swapped places and left me at the portal I was trying to capture and sending him to my cit to die.
sigils are your best friend and ally, also a wand of speed is helpful for catching speedy little devils.
Thanks. That does seem to be an awfully long time though.
The last game I played, TB was able to stun me (as Sedna) while I tried to lock down a portal, and my locks were useless for 2 minutes at least. Why so long? I've never played as TB so I don't know if he has a 2 minute long stun ability, or if that was a possible favor item I'm not familiar with, but it seems way OP. I've had heals stunned for 30 seconds or more as well.
The secret is to play as UB.
If you have a fireball in your pocket, you don't really need to chase in fire form.
Apparently all you need to do here is collect pots, sigils, etc, and focus on killing other gods and then tearing their defenses up when they are dead/running for health. /rant.
"UB is the demigod I think I most dislike fighting as the Rook. Reg and TB can also be a pain though due to range. -dolynick" /chrome=broken reply button Reg is stuck targeting your towers most of the time, and his mines are easily avoided, whereas TB has several AOE attacks which are difficult to avoid while tagging loads of creeps and earning him a fair amount of gold and exp.
Erebus has the ability to chase far past Reg's towers, so if Reg gets hit once or twice before running, he is screwed, EB gets a little damaged, bites, and batswarms to safety after the kill. Or, EB fires off his HoB/RoM, and his minions chase Reg down.
Reg doesn't have any sort of interrupt or stun, so he gets a slow. It's pretty evenly balanced.
The Ice TB I played the other day used AOE effectively against my towers, and never got in range of a slam. Granted, he did feed off of my teammate, but his fire rate and AOE consistently demolished my tower farm.
Not really sure what game you are referring to, but I played Rook last night/yesterday for the first time, and played around 5-6 games with him.
I've found ice TB rapes my rook build, which is similar to this, any ideas?
The sound system is very buggy. If I listen to mp3s while playing, the sound gets poppy and lags.
Nice replay. I did notice that Peter wasn't nearly as aggressive as most Erebus's seem to be, especially early on when he could have chased you down past your towers. Gave me some ideas to apply to my Oak tough, thanks.
I just reinstalled RtP, and everything seems to work just fine, so, nevermind I guess. Unless someone else has this problem and needs a helping hand.
My dad got a Zune for his birthday, so I installed the software on my PC in order to help him set it up, and now Ready to Play won't launch. I have no idea if the issue is Zune drivers or what, but that's the only change in my PC for weeks. Running Vista with no problems until I had to reboot to complete the Zune driver install, and this is the only issue that resulted. Anyone else?
I usually start with shield, then pick up spirits, as they add some DPS and a psychological effect that is encouraging and discouraging to my enemy. Since you can't get Surge until level 5, I'm not sure why it's a tough decision.
