Also, since you're basically only using your Radiant Blade ability if you don't want to go oom, your passive is hardly up at all. It does double the damage but the autos don't do much compared to damage abilities. Second, the passive is almost unnoticeable.
But when you use your heal or shield the Mana cost is almost never worth it unless you can somehow guarentee the value. Q is relatively easy to spam, which is necessary because it is your primary source of damage. After playing it for awhile I've come to the conclusion that you are forced to a passive playstyle because of the Mana issues. All Rights Reserved.Paladin needs a lot of buffs I think. My feeling is that if the user needs to read more than a few words, there should NOT be any animated GIFs visible at all reading text and watching animations are mutually exclusive activities for most people.Ĭopyright © 2001 Michael Masumoto. Many amateur web designers, thrilled with the idea of animation, fill their web pages with so much motion that it becomes impossible to focus on anything. If you choose to use animated GIFs, please do so with a light touch. Note to GifBuilder users: don't "Remove Unused Colors" when saving unless all of the colors you need are in the first frame! For the Macintosh, there is one program which, while not completely bug-free, is used by everyone, and has the added bonus of being completely FREE: GifBuilder. For the PC, there is a reasonable selection of commercial and shareware programs available go to and look under "Multimedia and Design: Animation" for current offerings. If you are interested in making animated GIFs, you will need to acquire GIF Animation software. Here is an example.Ĭreating an animated GIF is beyond the scope of this class. GIFs may be turned into animations using specialized software, allowing multiple "frames" to be played at some arbitrary rate of frames per second. Transparency is only available to GIF images JPEG images do not support this feature. This page also briefly reiterates the principles for creating transparent GIFs. Here's a page, demonstrating what I'm talking about with aliased and anti-aliased transparent GIFs on a colored background. With transparent images, aliased graphics are the most versatile as they can "float" on any color without leaving an undesireable "halo" anti-aliased graphics, with their blurred, smooth edges blending with the matte color, can only have transparent backgrounds if you know, in advance, the color that they are going to be matted against and sitting upon. Use anti-aliased graphics when you prefer the illusion of smoothness over sharp clarity.
Use aliased graphics where you want clean edges against a background. In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words: Anti-aliased graphics have blurred edges to simulate smooth curves. Then, when you SAVE FOR WEB, you can turn the transparency feature on, and set the MATTE color upon which the transparency will be anti-aliased.Īliased graphics have strong, pixellated edges with no blurring. Instead, you create images that are "floating" on a transparent background by removing your background layer. In Photoshop 5.5, you do not assign a single color globally to be your transparency color. Photoshop 5.5 has an enhanced means of making transparent images which involves the use of layers. Invisible "spacer" GIFs can also be created using 3 pixel by 3 pixel images, in which all of the pixels are transparent. This transparency feature is particularly important if you plan on "floating" images on top of background colors or patterns. TransparencyĪn arbitrary color on the indexed color palette of a GIF may be selected to be transparent this means that every pixel in the GIF which is assigned to that color (or a certain collection of those pixels) will be transparent, allowing you to see through the transparent areas of the image to the HTML page beneath. The two most important features of GIF89a format are transparency and animation. GIF89a format (the current standard for GIF compression) has other features, as well as the ones we have discussed.
