Earthrobot - pls buff it somehow

[qweqqweq]

the scout used to have a spell block and i think it did work. i don't think spell damage and spells are in the same category. i think that spells can do normal type damage or any other type of damage and vice versa but a spell is still a spell no matter what. i think that spell block doesn't work for battle tanks becasue it makes low hit point long range tanks too powerful as it did for the scout. And i think that if there was a spell block it would need to be a very expensive item like power pack or ultimate pack or an ability for a very expensive end-game tank like sky fortress, infernal, or titan.

ok, anyone wants to go on arguing that the earth tank's weak after this i won't try to add my two cents but just one more time i will coment.

first off, i don't usually have any problems using earth tank to attack and i don't see it as a purely defensive tank. it's actually one of 3 tanks that can use a spell to get into an enemy base fast, plus it's got the defensive ability to survive long enough to do some damage in an attack before it has to run away.

it's true if you play against an earth tank you can stun his as soon as he ults and you can avoid him when he starts glowing with extra defense buff. but everyting can be countered in btanks. it's also possible to get teleport, smoke, troops, or orbital for earth tank and use him as a ninja tank to demolish bases fast. you can also have a teamate stun nearby enemies right before you ult them and use your active armor skill so that they can't cancel your earthquake with their own stun or run away.

At high levels the earth tank does 20% spell damage reduction passivly and is hard to see! Also, 50% of normal damage is reduced passively!

so just to recap, ANY spell damage gets reduced by 20% no matter what and any normal damage reduced by 50% no matter what also. he can be completely surounded and ALL the damage will be reduced and that's just a passive skill.

Earthquake only lasts five seconds and does 4,000 damage (1,200 damage a second) and 70% move speed reduction. As an example, a level 18 cannon tower has 21,000 hit points so 1 earthquake alone can do almost 1/5 damage to it while damaging creeps, tanks, and other buildings around it.

the active defensive spell of the earth tank also lasts for 5 seconds, coincidence? it can be cast while channeling earthquake and not de-activate earthquake. it reduces 60% more damage of ALL damage types!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't use the Q spell very much and i usually get the tank cannon leveled up before it becasue it costs too much mana but at higher levels i think it's great for moving around in an enemy base in a way that no other tank can and it can be slightly useful.

i think people just don't use the earth tank much now because they only know how to fly all over the map really fast and/or play with stun. earth tank can't do either of those two things so it can be a little confusing to figure out how to use it. I think most people just haven't learned how to use it effectively yet. if fido1 didn't play hunter often i really doubt many people would be using it either. before i saw how he used it i never really realized just how it could be used effectively. then i started using it and now i see it used all the time. Before, almost never.

I used to play earth tank a lot at first. i was going to start using it again but i hadn't finished learning how to play air ship yet (i'd almost never played it untill a month or two ago, seeing bom)I(, frechheit, and indeterminismuss use it effectively made me realize it was a nice tank). Now i'm going to have fun using earth tank again and because i usually do very good with it i've got a strong susupicion that in a weak or two you'll all start seeing it in your games again.
