What is the biggest number of minions you can have at one time?
20 revives+mages+merc+golem+skeles sound good.
Is it possible to lag people so bad they "time out?"
If I max out Revives, I can have 35 total revives. Add that to 22 total skeletons and Mages(depending on what gear I want to use could have 2 more of each), a My Faithful pet Vine, Ravens, and either HoW,OS, or SoB. And I'm able to do some serious damage to LyteHammer, Beatboxer(sorry for the dialup), and TheFatty.Originally Posted by Ifrit18
I have made a few people time out during public baal runs, just because of the isp they are on.
Tonight, while in a game with Hammer and a few of our friends, I checked my fps and had a low 29 with Hammer and his full Summoner squad(on dsl). While, I had Hammer down to a low of 12 fps(on cable). Thanks for being honest their Hammer:drink: .
Other friends of ours, as soon as they see my lagamancer in a game..ask me not to bring out the revives and vine. But, I bring out vine anyway(cuz It's my favorite pet) and leave out revives to make it easier for them or when BeatBoxer is on.
HoS
the lowest i been brought down to is 3 fps. On cable, 512 ram but geforce 2 MMX card with 800x600 resolution not pretty :P.
i always get 60fps, (with 40fps "lags") and those "lags" wasnt coz the summoners, was coz the windruid + 3 sorc's
512 RAM + Radeon 9100.
i am "summoner" with my 10 skellyes, 8 revives, 3 mages that i dont use(1 point), my 3K clay golem, and lvl82 might merc. i gear MF stuff with few +skills
now now, lag is a biproduct, it shouldn't be the goal, while we can lag and ignore those who whine, we shouldn't go and delibertately try to lag them, lag should be a non issue, not an accomplishment
thats just my opinion
well it started out that way ash...... but after a while you just wanna seek revenge on those damn whiners...... so lag is the new goal.... it is the only goal.....
Heh, I've frequently had lengthy 1 fps spikes.
Ironically, such situations are best handled by a ...skelliemancer.
:drink: :buddies:
I have to agree with my buddy Hammer, when I have only my Skeletons out and they cry about lag....and it's d@mn you Necro. Then it's time to bring out the rest of the undead horde.
Toughest thing is getting 12 revives out quickly, maintaining them was somewhat easy.
HoS
only time i really lag is when i have 8 people in a game with 4 sorcs and 2 wind drugs all throwing their stuff. other than that if i lag it is a bnet issue.
I never lag from minions. The biggest number for me is:
18 revives 14 skeleton 12 mages 1 golem 1 merc
