Aphrodite: The last title hero

[kaisim_2492829]

ok first all, yes its an old post but i think its worth keeping it open if you stay on topic and stop complaining that it was opened a while back because everytime someone asks a question we heard before we refer him/her to the old posts but whats it good for if you cant write changes or new stuff you found...


ok here it is. the thread started out about aphrodite and being a mage tank is useless. then went to switch skills for bryn and aphrodite and about hitrating. now i hope i have summarized it so far well enough from the on topic stuff. now from back then to today i have to say i dont even use shayd anymore. my aphrodite is awesome with her lv 12 hitrating and for kicks i added lvl 12 burliness, flint and resistance. if the battle got close in pvp then she is usually the last one standing. she doing a great job stunning bosses in HR and succeed more often when others fail. also PLEASE do not switch out bryns skill with aphrodite because the skill of bryn doesnt do damage. i think that the developers on her actually overcompensated but that would be a different discussion. also the day i replaced my shayd with aphrodite, my banish damage output increased by another 10%.


edit:
only because i mentioned that i have burliness and flint added and she is the last one standing so many times doesnt mean i put her in the first row...

ps to the devs: i would like to see her damage output significantly raised on top of what it already is. think as magic pompei whos disadvantage is already there by missing a lot. also bryn needs to start doing real damage, not only can she miss but the targets can resist and if she does hit once in a while, her damage is so insignificant (even in the royal challenge!) that she can be ignored in most forms and is at best an "inconvenience" to the opposer

Keeping the general discussion of a hero on one tread is a good thing even if it is an old tread.

suggest move to heroes section to avoid clutter in general discussion

Aphrodite is the last hero you can unlock through reputation and requires a staggering 3800k rep.
So you ask, what do you get for 3800k rep?

A mage with a skill attack(Wretched Slayer) like Shayd. - ho hum
20% skill, 20% phys resistance - a mage as a tank. really?
+40% hit rating - she still misses as badly as Shayd
chance to stun - she stuns as often as Shayd

So for 3800k rep, what do you get? Shayd's sister.
Really not worth it imho.

UNLESS

Since Queen Brynhildr has the most impressive mage skill (Swift Pyre - magic attack, targets everything, chance to stun),
Why not switch their skills?

This makes Queen Bryn a useful hero, tougher than Shayd, but not too far off.
And this will make Aphrodite a really sought after hero, worth chasing that 3800k rep for.

You always blast the top players for wanting more out of the game, saying they only want to distance themselves from smaller players. Now you do the same, most people don't have Aphrodite yet and you want to take the skill from Bryn and give it to the hero most don't have yet. Looks to me like your just another "top player" doing what you say others do.

They don't need to switch the power, they can just add the same skill to Aphrodite...

Quite a necro. Since this is an old thread and others have discussed Aphro best do my Buffy and kick undead butt. Or it'll be Day of the Dead all over again.
