"Thorns" strategy (in General)


BadFish June 29 2006 1:12 PM EDT

I've been thinking about this strategy for a long time. What it basically is is a strategy where enemies get punished heavily for dealing damage to you, but you have no direct way to deal damage to them. Here's what I'm thinking: 4 minions, each with GA, AMF, and high HP. This will be able to deal with fireball minions well because of a fairly large amount of AMF... um... in the air. And the GA will take care of like all the other stuff.

Now I am 100% certain that this strategy is out of whack, needs tweaking, etc. So I'm looking for input- I'm not planning on doing this strategy as my first NCB, I just want to know how to make it work. Maybe make a farm out of it. Give me some input on how to make a decent "Thorns" strategy. I was thinking maybe putting UC on each of the 4 minions, but then they would need strength and dex and i'd be training like 7 different stats on each guy.


start inputting!

How do you kill the 20HP non weapon using Enchanters?

See, that's what I'm talking about. How could I have forgotten that?
Now that I think about it, i have no idea. How WOULD I do that?

Better question: How would I kill the 40k hp non-weapon using Enchanters with a monstrous ablative shield on them?

Better question even: How are you going to kill a 1 million HP having wall?

In which case you are vulnerable to AMF and big tanks. :)

dang it, I thought it would be a cool, if not particularly effective, strategy. I just want to see more strategies that are, you know, "out of whack". All you see these days is a combination of tanks, mages, enchanters, or walls. that is it. subtle variations on each, maybe, but never like anything really weird that ends up working decently. I'd like to see something like that. Until then, I'll keep praying to the God of Single Fireball Mages.
