[Bug] AI Rook Cheats

from Demigod Forums

The AI rook never misses a hammer slam, even if you are far out of range.

To reproduce this get the warp cloak favor item and wait for rook to hammer slam you.  As soon as he brings the hammer up warp directly away from him the maximum possible distance.  Notice that when the hammer lands you still take max damage, even though you are far out of range.

If you go behind the rook he will miss though.

In so much as the AI can only act as a basic trainer for how to play I guess that's actually kind of good?

I wouldn't call it a bug. The AI has lots of advantages to make the fight even, this is just one of them.

While I agree that the AI sucks and needs all the help it can get, I still do think this is a bug and for new players learning the game I think it's good to know that you can dodge the hammer.  Otherwise in online play against players they won't even try, assuming that if they can't dodge the hammer against an AI then they also can't dodge the hammer against a human.

I agree it's a bug. However if you are a DG who can interupt it trains you to pay attention to the skills that can be interupted.

On a side note, has anyone ever been able to interupt Sedna's heal? I've tried and have never been successful. It's to fast of a cast time.

Another sedna pounced me once while healing.  I could tell she was trying but she kept missing so it was kinda lucky when she got it.  I've also been interrupted by Foul Grasp while trying to heal...bummer that one...
