Beleg's for ranged DDs (in General)

Why not? FB and MM need some love, with damage nerf FB cannot do what it was intended to do. It requires so much invested in the DD that there is so little left for defense, it's a losing battle and requires the use of a single minion now.

MM isn't doing all that hot either. Both DDs suffer from major ranged penalties. SG and CoC outclass them in 2 rounds of melee :(.

Isn't a set of AGs Belegs for DD ? Not specifically for ranged, but the function has been covered.

anyway, the nature of FB requires the use of single minion. It can't keep up with CoC damage within the first 3 or so melee rounds, and diluting it for defense doesn't seem like a winning idea. The time frame for it to be effective is too small.

that's the point. Boost for ranged DDs. Besides, the strength of Beleg's is the fact that is a multiplier of damage, and a large one too.

And NSC totally own AGs anyway. AGs is hardly a solution for ranged DDs.

oops, that was referring to Yukk's post.

But anyway, the point that I'm trying to get across is:

1. Doesn't appear to be OP
2. Benefits the weaker DDs
3. Will create more balance among DDs, which is good for the game

I like this idea, but with HoC it should not work in the final round of ranged. Just 5 rounds. It sounds balanced as long as it doesn't add damage into melee. The first 5 rounds of ranged FB and MM hit (as stated before) like a 'wet noodle.' True, against a single target they can do damage, but with EH and MgS, you would be better off slinging mud at your opponent. A ranged DD glove would make MM and FB usable again, w/o having to be at ridiculous levels to do decent amounts of damage (like my 17.2 mil FB).

long been an advocate of this... the AMF return alone would be a major drawback
