Yeah after the update I find frostburn useless now. Petal so week die so fast haizzz not like before you can damage your enemy half life before they can gank you. Ill try your break point skills and Shiversteel.
You need battery on your guide frostburn is a must in the game you need a lot of energy to spam seeds to summon your minion and heal you at the same time... Believe me they all run if they approach you so you need to slow them down.
Thanks for the reply!
In my experience, I rarely spam seeds around, since they are pretty useless except giving enemies money anyways. There really is no battle that will be the other way around if I spammed my seeds. By accurate energy managing, I only come across energy hungry once or twice per game, which means it is more worthwhile to get another WP item/Shiversteel.
The second reason I prefer Shiversteel over frostburn is because the recent nerf on Frostburn's effectiveness on a hybrid build, which makes it 20% default slow. Shiversteel, however, causes 75% slow and buffs your tankiness.
The bug that causes melee heroes to stutter and not hitting anyone while chasing people works on munions too, which is pretty annoying since your pets can't really hit enemies if they just run like *.
I tried Frostburn Hybrid before, too, and being honest it is pretty annoying (to the enemies), but I would rather get a shiversteel or another WP item.
"Onward, Virgil!"* (pretty sure this is a reference to Inferno)
Although glad you addressed this, I'm not sure this still works the nerf on BP Petal is pretty significant; she now stacks at 3/4 the speed (damage/stack nerf).
Great guide overall, but not amazingly original since I've seen a lot BP Petal guides and BP Petal is problematic in either patch depending on if your team knows how to focus and chain stuns.
Thanks! Changed the title on that chapter. I kept telling myself that it should be onward instead of forward (but didn't know it is virgil instead of virgo) and ended up forgetting it every time I edit it.)
Yes, BP Petal is definitely NOT original, and as I addressed in the Intro, I took many great Petal players'(Def all PoA players) suggestions and made my guide. I can't really address their name one by one.
For the nerf on BP part, it is not exactly "3/4", since the Armor pierce is left unchanged. Also, it was just too OP before. Currently, I think she is still a really good hero to use, as she is extremely flexible anyways.
(BP Petal and BP Adagio is still pretty good regardless of the nerf)
Lastly, since people generally team up with other players they know already, it should not be a huge problem in team synergy. In lower tier battles where people do not know well about using/cooperating her, the Shiversteel+BP Combo along is enough for her to take on most of the battles even her teammates did not synerge well.
