Yes I know he's technically not supposed to tank, but I'd RATHER tank instead of Arc because Arc has no effects from tanking for me. I still think the Imploders should hit shields instead of going straight to HP, because if they get near you and you're alone, your only hope is flying away or somehow stunning them, and those are you ONLY options.

Did you READ the rest of my stuff? I had a lot more than just "Psion should be a tank" (which seems to be how you read it), and then you go on talking about Krug...someone I haven't played as yet (so have no idea what you're talking about anyway...)

@Sandman366: Psion tanking should die. Every time. You have a full immunity vs everything but blitzers that are one shot with your storm, all with one button press, use it.

Notably, Psion and Krug are far more teamplay oriented than other heroes. Psion has great AoE, but is extremely fragile and his single target damage is very low - but he debuffs the single target to receive 50% more damage and can one shot essentially any trash/ads with storm WHILE locking target down with cyclopic current. This makes him very powerful in a proper team setup.

Same with Krug. He's essentially massively overpowered in a proper team. 50% attack speed buff lifts deadeye from worthless in endgame and average in early and mid to awesome in all. In fact, the second most OP thing in the game at the moment after Blaze air strike crap is two man comp of Krug and Deadeye, where Krug focuses on turrets and NC generation while Deadeye focuses on weapon damage. Results are utterly devastating, as turrets are essentially unkillable fast enough even in end game and do heavy damage, while Deadeye takes care of nastier SIUs and brings slow and damage debuffs.

People who bash turrets as "weak" need to try playing with a proper turret spec. They are borderline overpowered on any wave past 10 or so once Krug establishes the first 5-6 turret wall and trigger is on the ground, as you can solo everything by spamming turrets faster then they get killed and upgraded turrets do a very nasty amount of damage, especially after your farm has grown to 20+ turrets around you towards the end of the wave.

Was play as Psion recently, and was absolutely loving him. Couple problems.

First, the ammo needing skill is crap. Honestly, I don't know what damage it's supposed to deal, but it doesn't. If I'm in Flight it'll hit 1s usually, but otherwise, I haven't noticed it do much. I haven't even bothered to use anymore because it doesn't seem to do much other than slow stuff, and seemingly not well.

Second, for not being able to get ANY life armor, he should get more shield armor upgrades (and perhaps more shields in general/upgrades to get more shields), and yeah he's not supposed to be a tank, he's fragile if you knock off his shields.

Third, remember the "no life armor" thing for him? (Unless, obviously, you get the blood infuse upgrades for him to get armor.) Yeah, having no way to get his HP back up without lots of regen or leech means if any Imploders attack him, you're half screwed. If you can't run away at the speed of light and have to tank them for more than about 3 seconds, you're fully screwed, and cya when you get back up.

Fourth, energy costs. He might have more energy than other people, but he makes up for it (to me, I have only played him and Blaze) with having high energy costs. I'm not talking about his heal or flight mode, I'm talking more about his AoE-max licker rejuvination and level, you're still losing energy faster than I can get Blaze to lose his Fury.

Fifth, Arc is crappyin my opinion. Yeah, he has a nice weapon that stacks with yours. Yeah, you can get him to have lots of shields (which, by the way, the tooltip for his shield upgrade is wrong). There are a lot of problems with him though. First, his health is just SO not worth mentioning, if any Imploders attack him you might as well get ready to summon another-he's basically gone. Second, no Blood things help him, so I want to tank so that King Propagator Thorns works, which basically nulls the point of him. Third, his weapon damage, speed, and range might stack with yours-but effects sure don't. The Electrocute effect from MY weapon doesn't do anything for him, which makes him even weaker for damage.

Sixth, the Electrocute effect is awesome and all, but for bosses after Kerrigan I see little point in having it (unless you've maxed your damage). It's not spell damage, and unless you go spam upgrades in it's damage, it's completely worthless if Hades comes around (and possibly useless even if you max it). And also, the +damage to light/psionic units in my opinion should also give Electrocute a little bonus vs light/psionic, maybe it's just me.

Oh, and something unrelated to him (lol). If you let Kerrigan go through enough rounds without killing her, one round she doesn't kill off the nydus worms and hunt you again. She just stands there, invulnerable. Killing the worms doesn't wake her up either. (I wasn't even really trying to farm her...lol)

Thought I had more....can't think of more for now.....

Id say that Krug is the most underpowered hero for a level 10 hero to unlock. His towers are a crutch, as that is pretty much the only thing he is good at, because if going for weaponry, or spell damage, he is easily outclassed by another hero in terms of thost types of damage.

Some item ideas I have I will list below, I don't have names for them

All towers will leech 5% of zombies max hp per attack, and will give krug 1% of leeched hp from each tower to him (this will give him a more survivalbility late game as he has no armor ups)

Increase turret attack speed by 70%, but lowering damage from towers by 95% (another boost that will allow krug to receive a better boost to survival)

Increase turret damage by 150% ignores 50%of siu armor, but lowering turret armor, hp, and attack speed by 80% (allows turrets to become virtually glass cannons, but slower, pretty much an siu killing cannons)

@Etravex: Go

This game needs an update.

Badly. Slipping to page 3 - and once it goes down there, it may never come back up again.

Just reminding you, if you want to keep your userbase.

It was AWESOME from 1.5X ~ 1.7X when you KEPT releasing updates. I think IA2 was on page 1 for some time. Bring your game up bro..

Item Ideas, I will list for Fulgore, I don't have the name of items, or how the trigger sys works but just some ideas that will give players a variety of builds and not just go mass base dmg

Increase cloak duration +5seconds and spell dmg +50%, but negating movement speed -50%, attack speed -50%, weapon base dmg -50%, (this lets players able to use more spell based fulgore and being safe while cloaked)

Increase attack speed by 70% and adds another attack, but lowering damage by 95% of total damage (allows players to play the tank version of fulgore)

lower the shadow sprint cooldown by half and the mana drain to 20% instead of 50%, increase the aoe effect by +1, but raised the cooldown of cloak +5seconds, and lowers base damage by 30% (allows players to use the shadow sprint ability more often)

adding a backstab bonus item, allows fulgore to do 50%more damage to enemies, if he attacks from the side or behind, 15%chance fulgore will teleport to his enemies and initiate the backstab bonus, but will lower fulgores armor, hp, and shields by 10% and increase cloak cooldown by 3seconds

@Etravex: Go

but...but...we want to have our cake and eat it too!

Besides Joe, he's already mentioned he's going to implement all that eventually. Not sure of the new hero, but achievement I definitely remember him saying he would. Keep up the good work.

Item idea: how bout an item that lets Psion move and normal attack while using cyclopic beam?

May you increase the level cap, add another hero, and to add even more re playability to the game add some achievements. Like in city of tempest or in NOTD, some achievements or medals people would like to push themselves to get.

I can't wait for the new version :O I think this game is amazing and I play it almost daily~ Just a question though, I finally decided to try out Psion at level 13 but I just can't find a good mix of skills and upgrades and the blood tree line to match him. Could someone try helping me? :3

how about an ability for psion where his archon is permanent that would be something worth spending money on

HI how long before new version is out? do we have an e.t.a

@Etravex: Go

Hi !

I completely understand your point of view. This guy just shows up, and begins to rant. He's not amiable at all, but still, he's got a point : offensive spells in Infested Arena are a major issue, that you should tackle. Physical DPS clearly outmatch all kinds of direct damage spells, such as Psion's Cyclopean thing (can't remember the name...) and AoE spell. Every class has at least one spell that becomes useless as the game progresses, because using one's weapong is more efficient.

Why is that ? In my opinion, there are two main factors that account for this situation : AoE spells are meant to deal with lots of units, so they are of no use against any boss, whereas physical DPS enables the specialist to deal with both regular units and strong ones. Furthermore, the lack of upgrades (only two of them - the +10% capacity damage one, and the one that gives you a buff that stacks - allow you to improve your spells) urges the player to focus on physical DPS.

There are some very simple solutions, such as adding another tree of blood upgrades that would mainly enhance spells. And also, consider adding new spells !

Some ideas (without reading all the comments):

• Radio Receiver (hope thats the right translation for "Funkgerät"): Call in reinforcements which are 4 Marines whose damage/armor etc. stats depend on the hero which is calling them, they dissapear after some time so you can't spam
• Acid Bullets: Enemies who are hit take some damage over time and damage nearby units
• Combat Knife: You get a "free" ability where your hero has some chance (25% e.g) to free himself from licker or... the other SIU which holds you (forgot the name) ... and maybe damage them
• Shield Expander (i admit thats stolen from catalyst: cityscape): Your hero expands his shield so others can take cover under it. When they get damage the carriers shield absorbs it
• Robodog: A robotic companion dog which helps his owner, damage/life/etc depends somehow on the owner

Cheers, bender

Yeah but eventually u have to kill the ones that are mind controled. I think Salv summoning Diablo would be awesome. I just imagine him like naruto summoning the 9 tailed fox. He just seems like the guy to do that.

@iXoZTwisted: Go

I personally think mind control is amazing alone. A vile imploder, ib, and mutated behemoth come. Well guess what! They're mine, bitches!

Increase the level cap to 30 and add another hero is possible please, kinda boring not gaining any levels or xp.

How many turrets can Krug feasibly get out at once? I havent checked lately but, for an idea for the carbon steel stuff:

Some sort of item that makes it so it creates a beam between two of Krug's turrets, gun or thermo, any unit passing through takes damage and maybe slowed. A max distance, of course, so you cant create the beam liike across the map or something.

For Fulgore, maybe something tied to his Violent Transfer, like he leaves a trail of fire or acid or whatever the damages enemies that step on it.
