DE is horrible in a long war. They have to pay extra wages,mana in war. After you workout the numbers and see how people play up on top you will realise what you just said is complete utter nonsense.

lol people has their own stategy to play and play as a team ^^
i've been hybrid for ages not only play DE but im very good as gnome/rouge too

yeah +1 mana better but dont forget elf still need runes... can u keep the cost of doing constant ms / tornadoes without nonstop? i doubt that elf in the second day of war always start having trouble of rune... and now mystic dont have bonus on runes ...
===============

elf CS good but since DE dont need use tower we can use it to WT too

==============
they lose defense that they are perfectly incapable of replacing efficiently and 30% spell power is inferior to +1%

i dont see why i must defense with DE...
why do u think DE got +1 off spec 6/0....
if u mean DE to play as a/m why u should hiding =)

i love DE off spec...
as a note: im not a player type who like to turtle and use high Def ...
better have more off than def... even i love a Kd who dare use suicide startegy too ^^


all free credit spec going into off spec...
i dont like defense startegy ^^
if elites too expensive in war then just use archer =)


no point in war to maintain defense!!!
if u are a true attacker - u know everyone can hit u too as long as ur army out

DE who use full leets and defensive turtle mode is for people who enjoy do t/m job ^^

i saw u keep posting : DE power in elites...
yes indeed if u use elites awesome and like u said it need lot of gc even TOG wont help in war coz u need it to do offensive spell =)

but +1 mana and +30%stregth... ehm if the spell take longer effect wont u save mana% too =)

i dont really see +1 mana as a very superior ability
but it's a benefit of elf since elf need rune to cast it
