Zen, why did you increase the power of the Vine Ogre? I think if any summon deserves a nerf, that is it (besides the Devil and Fiend of Darkness.)

I second that.
I would have given the vine ogre -5 attack instead of +5 Def and +5 Prot...

[Saber Cherry]

I kind of wondered too. I don't see any reason to nerf their strength, but boosting the cost to 2 gems seems fair.

[Huzurdaddi]

I think he boosted their prot since big vines are basically like bark and bark has prot of 10. As for the increased defence, I don't know. Not like it makes a heck of a lot of difference.

Finally, I totally agree that a cost of 2 gems would help balance them out.

*or*

We could simply mod casters to be more expensive ( as Saber Cherry was talking about ), perhaps x2 or x3 as expensive. That way mage turns would be far more precious and the cost would be balanced at 1 gem.
