Crypt Lord

Ok, we all know that the new Crypt lord is good in small battles, but really meh in bigger games. What are some ways you think could fix this? Also, their armor power is... weird. As you take damage you get armor? Doesn't make any sense, hooray, let's get shot so we can get shot more? Make it start you off with some armor, and have it regen like the SH's healing wave. Maybe even affect teammates as well, if they bought armor.

The extra armor is actually really helpful in a couple different ways. A crypt lord is more effective against an orc than any other race. This is true in the fact that nades take more armor away than health. So if you get extra armor from the previous round and get hit with an orc nade, you will probably survive it. Along with that, you'll reflect a large amount of damage back.

Locust is good for any fight. If you're a suriving player, you can use your ultimate early in the round and later on when there are only a few players left. This will greatly increase your odds of winning.

I think the part that is most commonly forgotten about Spiked Carapace is that it works the same as Thorns, except you gain armor as well!

That's the skill he's talking about. I don't think he realized that it also reflects damage.

The cryptlord is an animal. I'm a NE whore but when testing the new mod, the players that did use it gave me quite a fight, and the locust are bad ass... It would be nice if they did area damage, not much, but if any player is maybe within a yard or two of the random target, maybe they can take 10sumthin damage, that would be cool.

I still think Carapce is a tad underpowered.... the damage returened is miniscule at best.... I get hit for 33 dmg, I deal back.... 2, 54 dmg, I deal back... 3 Kinda pathetically unuseful really...

Carapace is not thorns.

i've also come to a realization that carapace is returning damage like a glock shot to the pinky toe.

Thorns is way nasty. lol i shot a guy in the face a two times and i died. it was...... annoying to say the least.

that makes me think.... im gonna go lvl a NE.
