Builds

Tank Build
It's always a good idea to start with nightmare, as it is your farming ability. Get nightmare to Lvl 3, while putting your other points into Armored Carapace. Don't worry about Smite just yet, you won't be able to kill heroes until Lvl 15 or so. Once at Lvl 15, get Divine Manifestation. After that, start to Lvl Smite and put your other points into Nightmare. Continue to Lvl Divine Manifestation when possible and remember: Smite BEFORE Nightmare AFTER Lvl 15. Once Smite is Lvl 6, you can turn your attention toward Life Wave, as you are going to need it for late pushes. Get the final ranks of Nightmare with off points, anything after that is up to you.

Item Build

Orb of Life(Workshop) 700HP/5 hit point regen.
Scorceror's Robes(Workshop) 35 INt/15 Armor.
Plate Helm(Ancient of wonders) 500HP/50 Armor.
Ring of Might(Ancient of wonders) 35 STr.
Talisman of the Sun(Marketplace) 25 to all attributes/5 hit point regen.
Demon's Horn(Marketplace)

Not to be an asshole, but you are missing some spells.

And this is in the wrong place.

[Seig_2]

I know not finished yet.

[AnAngryBearDoctor]

Then type it on Wordpad or somethingt then post it.

[Seig_2]

I did moron, you should be smart enough to figure its not finished.

[jamn455]

It still should be in the guides and strategy section.

[Seig_2]

Is they're a way I can move it?

[AnAngryBearDoctor]

I guess now is as good of time as any to start my complete guide line on Scarab





















































Cenibus Darkshell--Scarab

(Note this complete guideline isn't finished yet)

[Seig_2]

Look, I said it wasn't finished so shut the hell up...really. First you bitch at me for not making a "complete" guide to Fm (which im still working on) then when I make a better one you still flame me. Not complete means im I the process of finishing it, but on my time. If you dont like my threads then stay the hell of. This is meant for a person new to Eota anyway, not for you bitching whores to flame.

Not mad at you Jamn, just Doc and Discom.

[CryptLord1234]

If you don't want to be flamed, don't write "A complete guideline" as this most certainly is not a complete guideline. Furthermore, contradicting yourself within the next 10 characters is no help.

Like it has been said, type it up in Notepad / Micro. Word. I would then post what I had, and ask for some other opinions. Not put up "A complete guideline (Not finished)." Sounds kinda stupid. And, also mentioned, you're looking to put this in the Strategies and Guides section. This part of the forum is for hero balancing.

[Seig_2]

How stupid do you think people are? they know its not finished. Also even if I would have put "incomplete" they still would have flamed me because they're bitches, they have to whine about something. I don't want to have to change the title all the time from complete to incomplete. I thought I would finish it in one sitting. well, I was wrong, but thats no reason to flame me. we arent talking about first graders here they know exactly what it means. jamn wrote in his guideline NOT FINISHED so why havent they flamed him? (dont mean to pick on you jamn) It has nothing to with format and everything to do with hate. theyre just pissed because we dont agree on everything, so they have to do something about it. also if you really wanted to be helpful you could tell me how--if I can--to put the guideline in the right place.

I dont have anything personal against you crypt, just people that post useless, idiotic flames. please dont give me a reason,

[Perhaps]

    Be constructive, these sort of posts will just go to the bottom of the list to never be seen. Do it somewhere more perminent... Like EotA Wiki (Scarab). It will last there, and no one can flame you (kind of). Also if you so do a Wiki entry, make it as factual as possible, which means avoid things like stating "how it should be built," or if you so come down to such a thing, state it as "considerations for novice players."

Am I flaming? If you want it to be, then sure. I find it delivering input, if you ask me. =\

[Seig_2]

No, your not flaming. so con you tell me how I move a psot, if its possible?

[Perhaps]

    Click the edit button on the bottom right of the post you which to "move". Then when the new page loads, click anywhere where you can type in the post.
Then do this...
[Key press]Ctrl + A (it will select all the text, you'll know when you've done it right)

[Key press]Ctrl + X (it will 'cut' aka 'copy', i suggest this form of copy, since it's more visable)

Then hit the cancel button.

Then go to the location where you plan on 'moving' the post to, click on the area which you can type...

[Key press]Ctrl + V

Then, you're good to go.

    As far as moving the entire thread and its replies, that would require a moderator to move it to another forum. Moving it to anywhere other than this forum, such as the wiki or word, you would need to move solid text, which is the method shown above.

[Storamin]

i think you guys have pretty much summed up this one.
