Rage box vs dragon

[Razorflame]

personally i'd love to have the rage box back...
the dragon is so very standard and get's very boring after a while
most his abilities are close to useless

while the rage box had a very strong setup(ofcourse they also had crappy skills)

but not as much as with the dragon

only notable dragon abilites are
treasure hunter
mana accel
lightning bolt

rest is near to useless in way of costing way too much rage


now for the rage box

lina's balls
rage stealer
time back
glot's armor
(the stone unit abilities to do x2 vs mages)
evil showl
crystal ball
and some other ability from the reaper which i forgot the name



to me it's safe to say rage box > dragon in any bloody way

even the animations from the rage box were better

i truly wish i could cast glot's armor on a unit
or at least have time back as rage ability rather than a spells
that's just lame




your thoughts?

The Box was pretty cool, but honestly there isn't too much that I miss from it. I hated Zerlock (stupid useless rock guy), and the only thing I miss from Sleem is Glot's Armor (Shoal was fun but Firey Phantoms is nearly as good). Lina was a disappointment to me - the only useful thing she had were the chargers, and KBAP has the same thing in Mana Accelerator. Reaper was just awesome, but Soul Drain is replaced by Ball Lightning (replaces that useless Gizmo too), Time Back is now a spell (I like), Rage Drain was OK but I don't miss it, and Black Hole (although awesome) can be replaced with Geyser spam.

So all I really miss is Glot's Armor. Everything else I can live without or make due with a replacement. And fortunately most of your Dragon's abilities are fairly useful. The only two I don't really like are Lava Call (I prefer Phantoms or Dive) and that stupid Egg.

Oh well.

I loved the rage box, specially Reaper...
The dragon is not that useless though, it had some useful abilities that I used a lot.

The dragon is much more rounded. You only ever use the same abilities with the Chest no matter the class.
I like that fiery phantoms are a warriors toy, ball lightning and mana accelerator for a mage, egg for doing CRAZY STUPID shit without losses, etc etc. Dig is nifty.

Also, dragon has a lot more tactical options. Well placed pushes, blocking a space with an egg, granting one more move. It is much more interesting than the chest.

Like previously said, the only thing I miss is glot's armor. That was a powerful, and unique effect.
