Queens shield seems slightly ridiculous to me

April 26, 2009 11:21:34 AM from Demigod ForumsDemigod Forums

I mean, it only has a 7 second cooldown, and with a decent Queen player its not hard to keep it up almost all the time. I know people are gonna say thats pretty much her only good ability, but it shouldnt be like that. Every Ability should be useful, They should tone down shield and up her other abilitys.

Also Sedna's heal and healing auras, when combined with a good queen player, make for an almost immortal pair of demigods. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Dude have you played late game with her? Oaks auto attack can go through it in 2-3 shots.

You're wrong because sedna's heal has a cooldown and is mana intensive. The shield is not as mana intensive, but it also has a cooldown. 7 Seconds is a long time when your enemy's attack speed is .77seconds dealing 400 damage a swing. That shield goes down in no time.

It's a tough combo, but any 2 damage demigods can focus fire on one of them to kill them both.

idk it might need a change but if it does it needs to be very slight, nothing major at all ( talking 50 more mana or 50 less protection), but rly even without any changes if u just focus ur attacks u should be able to kill her.

If anything, the shield needs to be strengthend towards the endgame.

It is almost useless towards the middle end.

She has no nuke abilities - not a single spell or special move.  Just aoe's, the shield, and a very very weak building offensive spell.

I prefer munch shambler, 2.2k hp at final rank and the shambler acts as a walking aoe bomb doing 750 damage.. not a bad deal, its like a nuke and mega heal all in one.

Anyway shes pretty similar to sedna so if you want some single target nuke get her i guess.

QoT is good. She´s got massive structure dps. A shield to protect allies, AoE that hurts everyone around her, a slow...

Dont ever whine about her not being good enuff... I have never lost a game with her. Just because a DG isnt a 1v1 killing machine doesnt mean it sucks.

I just played a 2v2 with TB(me) and Erebrus, against Rook and QoT. Yea that shield is awesome, and it did kinda seem like her only ability, and it was a pain to kill her early but once I got fireball and nova up to there 2nd level or higher she wasn't much threat. She's good for pushing reinforcements but not much else. She's a higher level of difficulty character in my opinion so I'll avoid her and stick with the lowest level of difficulty guy, TB!!!

Her shield us extremely useful, despite how easily others dismiss it, but like all other abilities it is both the least effective and most effective in the face of planning and team work.

Late game the only way she can use shield well is to stay in closed form.  You can't really put up brambles, switch to open to use her attacks like you can the first 10 levels.  I mean you can, but it's not nearly as good.

 

Brambles is a bit too good early game though.  Like I've said at http://forums.demigodthegame.com/348135 the cooldown should be 12/12/7/7 so it's not as spammable early on.

 No its just you and your sick mind  

 

As a 22-year-old girl (I don't see myself as a "woman"), I think he has a normal, macho mind -- not sick at all, just "normal" ...

I'm not offended by what he said (in his reply #10).

By the age of 22, you've heard it all, over & over again ... and worse, much worse : during highschool, on the street, in bars, and even, recently, in the DG game-set-up chat.

To stay on topic, I would say that his "normal", macho statement doesn't make the slightest dent in my shield.

But thanxxx anyway for your  :

We could be spared such muy macho language on a gaming forum -- even if I don't care.
