Disease Cloud.....

Just wondering: is Disease Cloud worth researching? I mean, though I admit it killed my Archmage, it doesn't, well, work so well as a passive skill to me, more like Slow Poison would be better and all.....

its not worth the money unless you get alot of abombs and MW

Ya, it isn't as important as armor upgrades. In FFA though you should make sure you upgrade everything, including that because you should always get aboms in FFA.

disease cloud only damages units for a short period of time
but with a meat wagon the cloud lasts for awhile so it can hit units well after an attack if they walk through it

Does anyone know the DPS for DC?

Disease Cloud Aura (Passive)
Gives Abominations a Disease Cloud aura that deals 1 damage per second for 120 seconds. Meat Wagons will cause Disease Clouds wherever they attack that deal 1 damage per second for 120 seconds to nearby enemy units. Undead are immune to Disease Cloud.

At 200 wood and only 1 dps, i don't bother with it.

It's not so good,it's the least you need.

The only good thing about it is that it disables regeneration of hitpoints almost entirely. It works very well against teams that only regenerate during the day or the night, since it cancels out the regeneration of their health. That is the only good thing about it.

only and ONLY if u have 6+ aboms maybe not the mw cuz they only exist for taking out buildings

ok i am a newb... what is DPS

 

[Aragorn7]

Damage Per Second.

I didn't know it either...but that is when Zaku's Guide comes in.

And don't Aboms gain the Disease Cloud AFTER DYING? Kinda sucks.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

No I thought they did it if anything came close to it, or they attack or they get attacked im not sure actualy

 

[Aragorn7]

They always have a disease cloud "aura". Any units that come near are effected. I think the meatwagon's do a better job of spreading it around though.

 

[None293823]

The cloud is just for more effects,it may help if all enemies are on 2 hp maybe this will help

 

[majin_dman]

I personally find the cloud useless and never bother to put any money into it. As long as my abobs are powered up i dont really care.

 

[Aragorn7]

It can help a little. I have found that it is often quite useless too but I put the money into it if I have it.

 

[x42bn6]

Often though, it's more useful to build a Garg or research something like Adept Training for Necros/Banshees.
