Re: The Vine Ogre
1. I am taking "overwhelming consensus" from the thread on Low Level Summons. There is a consensus that no-one ever spends gems on them except for Vine Ogres, which are a great bargain.
2. I do NOT mean by this that the VO is overpowered absolutely (compared to all other units) -- what a stupid thing to want to say!
3. I do NOT mean that the VO should be balanced compared to all the other chaff out there which no-one ever gets. There is just no way that the dev team will be able to balance all the summons out in an upcoming patch! I thought I would stick to the small things that people do use.
4. That a VO is inferior in every way to, say, a devil, or a FoD, etc. is making a point in my book: Devil Factories are no-brainers.
Maybe it is just a silly idea to want to balance any one unit out without changing the entire game. So... I'll retract the idea for now ... but would like to keep it in mind for future patches or dom3.
