Not sure a Demon Knight would be worth it, but there should be something useful.

Recycling diseased mages is marginal. (And you never get them at the moment you want them). And recruiting thugs from forts instead of mages is suboptimal anyway. See the assassin discussions

.

Demon knights are meh, get the devils. Able to command other demons, and flies. Flying rocks.

(Most recruitable thugs are mages, so they have dual role).

Question, are all heroes in CBM supposed to have 3 miscellaneous slots? Ie, is a hero with only 2 slots an oversight or intended?

Edit: never mind original post not accurate

Still? What weaknesses do you see in the modern Machaka?

Ragnarok-X · #**227** February 24th, 2012, 07:08 PM

needs more variance, its not about a specific weakness.
That, and a fix for the bad spider sprite.

Bad spider sprite? What's all that?

More variance as in it's too one-trick-pony-ish? I suppose they only get high nature/fire/earth/death, but that's a decent amount of stuff. You have to prioritize getting a wasteland to get Hidden in Sand astral(or spend a bunch of death gems for specters), but you can get that up too. It's pretty frustrating that they get max N3 and D2(realistically), but you can still deal with that.

Speaking of which, is the Treelord's Staff going to go down to N4? 40 gems is...a lot.

Witch Doctors should totally get heal-20 or something. In their description they heal the sick!

Can't find a link, but assassins as recruits when you could have recruited mages has been discussed to death.

I think recruitable assassins are not worth it.
