well - there are plenty of things you could do to support a rook, but the real trick is being able to stay with the rook, which you generally can't do an entire game.  The downside to a specialized build is that you'll probably find yourself a bit weaker when you have to solo.  Anyway, I'm sure I could come up with some logical builds, but a lot of the problem is going to be in chasing and getting kills, imo.  Sure, you can hold a lane pretty well and the cape would help keep a rook in a lane longer (primarily early/mid game), but you likely require a third to get the kills.  Just some quick thoughts for now...

Well, the starting assumption is we have a highly skilled and aggressive Fire TB soloing mana lane (we do). Not that Sed+Rook can get a lot of kills, either. The purpose of this duo is to push the defenses systematically (+ not to die). They can actually get some kills when on the defensive, I guess. Otherwise... Let the TB do the dirty work. 

When do I have to go solo, really? Of course, some situations might arise that require a quick solo port, that's perfectly understood. She won't be super-easy to kill with Shield and Mulch, anyway, and perfectly adequate to her purpose of slowing down the enemy progress (supposed they try to capture a portal, for example) until the big guns arrive.

wots queen is more support for rook!

I had some thoughts about WotS QoT, but Staff of Renewal + Cape of Plentiful Mana have such a nice synergy... Yes, I guess for any other favor Rook, WotS QoT should provide a greater benefit.

Blood queen how me and rawrr play queen is probably the only way to play queen in a pro game.

Not trying to challenge your opinion, but let's take a closer look at Blood vs Cape QoT at level 10 (I chose a more or less 'standard' gear for the respective level, based on this info and replays by rawrr: https://forums.demigodthegame.com/387716):

Blood QoT 10 (2-helm setup: Vlemish, Unbreakables, Banded, Nimoth, Plenor): hp = 4695, hps regen rate = 19, mana = 5441, mana regen rate = 29/37 (unpacked/packed).

vs

Cape QoT 10 (1-helm setup: Vlemish, Unbreakables, Banded, Nimoth, Hauberk): hp = 4495, hps regen rate = 24, mana = 3866, mana regen rate = 17/26/94 (unpacked/packed/cape).

or

Blood QoT 10 (3-helm setup: Vlemish, Unbreakables, Scaled Helm, Nimoth, Plenor): hp = 4295, hps regen rate = 14, mana = 5966, mana regen rate = 35/46 (unpacked/packed).

vs

Cape QoT 10 (2-helm setup: Vlemish, Unbreakables, Scaled Helm, Nimoth, Hauberk): hp = 4095, hps regen rate = 19, mana = 4391, mana regen rate = 21/32/116 (unpacked/packed/cape).

Personally, I think they look quite comparable. At level 15, the initial hp/hps boost provided by Blood will totally disappear, since Cape QoT will presumably have Groffling. In other words, I'd say Blood provides a nice (sometimes critical) boost in the beginning, but does not scale at all, while Cape does -- and quite wonderfully, at that. Of course, Blood is preferable to Cape if I intend to go a tank-type QoT, soloing lanes, killing UBs and stuff... But for a QoT sharing a lane with a Rook? Well, I seriously doubt she will be ganked while hiding in the towers (unless the gankers are suicidal or the Rook is afk). She can avoid intensive combat up to the point she stacks enough hp to compensate for taking Cape instead of Blood, and then... Well, 200 hp difference (with higher hps, btw) won't make a huge tankability potential gap between the builds. However, I might be overlooking something very important. Feel free to refute my noob babblings Where is rawrrr, anyway? He would surely destroy my theory-crafting with some witty comments...

Look at the mana pools and mana regen rate without cape on, even with cape a blood queen has a larger mana pool then you and more hp, You will go oom before me and run away. Activating cape wont give you much of an advantage, you might get + 700-1000 more mana on me by the time its done but I started with a larger pool to begin with.

On a side note I don't think a 1 helm queen is possible even with cape me and rawrr both have run oom several times with hungerlings, vlem, plenor before. Unless your whole goal in life is to shield people and summon monks. So my point earlier might be moot because it would be 2 helm blood vs 2 helm cape. If you do that you would suffer even less hp then before and run away sooner.

Now I am not really into theoretical mumblings because you can talk up a build with numbers and mumbo jumbo as much as you want, what really matters is how it performs.

I can see a cape qot + rook dominating a lane early, pushing very hard, killing towers, pushing gold/cooldown flag, simply because the rook doesn't go oom. Essentialy Rawrrs QoT and mine are shielding teammates if we are on hp side early game, and a cape queen would do this better. but....................

you lose two very important things with cape qot IMO

You can't solo a lane, like Rawrrs qot or mine ( leveling a QoT can be a VERY good idea.... ) and late game you will suffer.

Why? you ask? your cape queen wont be able to hold up as well as a blood qot when targeted in the big 3v3 engagements that ultimately decide the fate of the game. In a pro level game I can see the short comings of this build coming out in late game. Most pro matches are not decided by how hard you push early game but by whos team dies, gets out of position and loses a portal. I see the chances of that happening more likely with the cape qot.

Lolz, indeed.

No more discussion? I was begining to enjoy myself...

Actually, I wanted to post some thoughts on Blood-Tank QoT build (basically, whatever you and rawrrr play). Up to 15, what I've done was: BS1 > Shambler1 > GS1 > GS2 > Mulch1 (5) > BS2 > GS3 > SW1 > [SAVE] > Mulch2+GS4 (10) > BS3 > SW2 > BS4 > [SAVE] > Mulch3+GoT. Now, I don't really know what to do after 15 with this build. Investing into Entourage, then Tribute, as per Rawrrr's OP, seems kinda meh that late into the game. The only alternative I can think of is getting Shamblers to 4 (they become much more mana-effective and less annoying to re-summon -- typically, you have to Mulch a lot late game) and, probably, teching 2 levels of Entourage.

Also, I think Magus Rod is a greatest single investment for QoT. Her main weakness mana-wise is some of her abilities are insanely costly, and MR really takes care of it. Moreover, it's a Plenor equivalent in a consumable slot. So it is possible to go Hungarling, 4 hp/speed items and MR late game (-70% skill cost is just crazy). There is a catch: a somewhat annoying inability to run with sigils late game (you absolutely need tps and locks, yes?), but if there is a DG that can stay alive while focused without sigiling, it's a Blood-Tank QoT.

Spike Wave: I don't see any problems with SW1 early, then SW2 mid-game. 20% slowdown and 500 dmg in 25y range is surely better than 15% slowdown and 350 dmg in 20y range. Of course, taking SW3 would be a huge mistake -- 15s cooldown makes it worse than SW2. But, overall, this skill is really nice and earned our team some kills.

Luring works great with her, especially if there is a Reg on a team. And since Mulch has unlimited range, I was actually able to get a kill with Mulch 3 while shopping (sure enough, got lucky to deal the last 750, but still...) 

A question of microing Shamblers: in big skirmishes, Mulch is tricky to use, IMHO. I cannot see where that lone Shambler is for the sake of God Almighty. That's one of the reasons I think it is beneficial to tech Shamblers 2-4 late game, when so much is going on: much greater chance you'll see one of the four ASAP. I found myself positioning Shamblers by tower (or at any other safe point on my escape route) after summoning them at crystal while I had Mulch 1. 250 AoE damage is nice, but negligible, and you really don't want to waste mana on summoning Shamblers when they focus you early game. Shield, run, Mulch Shamblers en route. Mulch 2 is so much stronger, however (and by lvl 10, QoT should have her mana issues sorted) that I tend to summon them when needed (i. e., Shield > Shambler > Mulch > Shield > Shambler > Mulch). 

Yeah, I know. Tourney issues related to our soon-to-be-famous Turkish artist leaving for a month on 18/12 (without teaching me some Orcun-exclusive UB tricks, as promised! hah! no wonder we have a diplomatic crisis with Turkey!)

PS: Now, for some reason I'm sure everyone will comment on this, and not on the previous post involving build analysis :/

I think mine is closer to yours, to be honest At least, skill progression is closer to yours than to rawrrr's (as outlined in his post on Blood QoT), and you go Shamblers 16+, not Entourage + Tribute.

Totally agreed on all points, except, maybe, getting SW3 at all. Yes, it's 650 dmg/25% slowdown/30y as opposed to SW2's 500/20%/25, but that cooldown increase by 50% makes it really really bad. On the other hand, it's not one of those skills you are supposed to spam, so may as well be still worth getting for additional range + slowdown.

I'm particularly interested in people's thoughts on Magus Rod as an essential item for Blood-Tank QoT builds (+ 1 hp item slot; Plenor equivalent; fantastic cooldown, so really great when you need to spam that hugely overpriced Shield or GS+SW).

Magnus Rod is pretty awesome for Occulus. 

Well, Occ and QoT share a drawback of being extremely mana-hungry, so...

Also, Sigils > Locks. Always have TPs. No exceptions. But if you have to give up a slot, give up locks. 

This approach cost me a few games, tbh. I play either Sed or QoT, so I'm what frag-happy people like to call a support. Now, people playing, say, UB, naturally have little to no choice: they will have Orb, Sigils and TPs. No locks. That much is frequently true regarding other assassins. Nothing is more frustrating late game than losing momentum while on the offensive or failing to stop an enemy portal assault while on the defensive due to stupid: "Uhhh... I have no locks..." "What?! Noob! Idiot! You are worthless! Uninstall this game! NOOOOW!!!" "But... No, guys! It's just that Hedgie told me Sigils > Locks!!!" Yes, Sigils are great as a failure tolerance mechanism, no doubt, but in terms of strategical value late game in a typical 3v3 A + A + G: Locks >>> Sigils. In coordinated teams having voice chat and general strategic plan for each match, like one I'm currently trying to play with Dreamcatcher and Lols_SeaWolf, I'd say it is perfectly possible to get such things pre-planned, so that Sedna/QoT is not a "locker" by default. 

eh I love beating people with QoT
