[quote who="DiceAreEvil" reply="49" id="2491798"]Well a pure AA reg build is also terrible. Soooo... what's the point? I'll give it another go this afternoon, though. It's fun to shoot people for 200+ damage a shot at level 1. Even more fun is saying you got owned by mard's.[/quote]k
It's attack speed, not damage. If you're swinging at 110% attack speed and go up to 115%, that's not a 5% increase. Also stats are terrible so two points of them isn't a very compelling comparison.
[quote who="DiceAreEvil" reply="43" id="2491649"] Quoting lifekatana, reply 42Attack speed boost?? 5 percent. Hey that's 5% more dps. When all you're doing is right clicking, every bit counts![/quote]It's not really 5% DPS for long since you get over 100% attack speed just for leveling up, and if you're going to buy mana pots can't you just buy guantlets of brutality with that money instead when you have the blade?
Also don't go back to CoH until they add dark as a controller secondary. I DEMAND IT.
I think Levi is a much better example of what's wrong with Reg than what's right with him, the first being his extreme mana issues. Reg falls on his face in Cataract, but when you both remove the cooldown flag (potentially an effective 15% mana cost reduction) and add in a 15 MP/S flag he improves dramatically. Then you give him solid health regen which is a disproportionately large percentage of his total health and finally throw in a perma meat shield since people tend to play that map 4v4.
Honestly I think your best bet is hosting your own games for new players or finding similar ones. It seems like there's usually quite a few up.
[quote]I'd say 5 are top. Ereb, Oak, Beast, Sedna, Rook. Erebus, Beast, Oak being the standout offensive team. Rook, Sedna, Oak being an effective defensive team. And a few inbetweens can work such as Rook, Beast, Ereb for some nasty triple stun combos.[/quote]I really disagree on Sedna.
Ich glaube dass ob du Demigod im Europa kauftest, dann muss du Atari kontaktieren. :/
Being able to play every DG is pointless. There's only four which are especially good and the best players of the worst ones can't win with them in competitive games anyway. Basically you're trying to say that people should be good at a game that doesn't exist... I made that mistake way back in the WC3 days. Every time someone did whatever new fad was most effective after a patch rather than mimmick it I would play my own way and learn how to use a much more complicated counter, immen
I don't really think that upping mine damage is the most logical route. Mines are about the only thing Reg has that actually work well, while there's plenty of other abilities that fall short.
[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="48" id="2491102"]It's... a mix and match, roughly going tower>archer>hammer>tower>bowl>light>tower>hammer>... Cata only sometimes. The DGs that prance around my picket fence are Sedna, Erebus, Oak and UB. I've no trouble against the others.[/quote]Except on Prison I feel it's impossible to dance around a tower farm. The range is too great to slip past on any commonly played map with lanes. I'm not really sure what I c
[quote who="abuggeredhedgie" reply="35" id="2491237"]hmm interesting idea. What if Mark did an AoE stun that affected everyone BUT the person it was attached to (maybe it interrupts them? dunno hard to gauge how strong that would be but a guarenteed interrupt on their next ability or item use (Sigil, Shield) is pretty brutal). It would be brutal in those 3v3 matchups. It already does sorta-decent AoE damage. Now in those 3v3 matchups having that person effectively silenc
[quote]Doing something wrong! He past that point a hundred miles back if someone can do all that crap while still in the tower pasture. also Your not yoru [/quote]It's "passed," not "past," and the point of your first line is indecipherable.
[quote who="Polynomial" reply="158" id="2490807"]So basically everyone who plays Demigod are the best players.[/quote]lol Yeah, this list should really be paired down to 5-10 to have any real meaning. There's a lot of people on this list that I would definitely not play against a good premade with.
[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="43" id="2490737"]By not scale I meant most demigods can wade into my tower farm, kill me, get up, go to the toilet, get some juice out of the fridge and get back to get out of the farm with no trouble at all.[/quote]You're doing something wrong then. What's yoru build?
[quote]P.S. Beat pyeek-> critical game state.[/quote]Sounds about right.
[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="40" id="2490405"]But towers scale for shit. They are almost worthless once generals hit 1500 armor or assassins get 2k.... On average, this is level 10.[/quote]Nothing but Penitence and Beast Within scales well. Towers scale fine. At level 10 they have 2850 HP, cost only 200 mana. They hit for about 190 per shot at max rank and 1500 armor is only 37.5% mitigation; with that level of armor they're still hiting for 120 a pop and you can have eight of the
[quote who="inerz" reply="38" id="2490346"]rook is not on the A list. he is strong ofcourse, but he doesnt have an escape option. oak shields, ereb mists or swarms, ub just kills everything or uses his ample speed to move away from harm. rook sits in his towerfarm, then suddenly 3 enemies come, ereb swarms and stuns-bites him and then rook gets ganked, sure he might pull off a boulderslam, but he will still die.[/quote]He's the most easily reinforced DG. Tower
Here's the real problem with Reg: No matter how good a reg is, how well he kites, or how clever he is, he can never, ever kite me unless I let him as UB or Oak once I have my gear. So while it may be frustrating moving through mines, maim, mark, etc. and being perma-slowed, the only reason why they work on me is because I value my cap locks more than negating them. Why? Because the snare cap is 30%. If I use a Wand of Speed I get a 25% buff, meaning that the max
[quote]Yes, an AA reg with Mard's hammer + AF + Slayer's + Mageslayer[/quote]Ugh. BotS all the way, the damage difference is paltry and the utility of infinite mana is much more beneficial. A pure AF reg using no other abilities is going to need a helm sooner or later as his attack speed increases. That single weapon slot pushes BotS way over Mard's. Mard's hammer is not a good item.
[quote who="morpheas768" reply="686" id="2489991"]I've been reading this thread for quite a while now, and I have a question: All these posts with accusations and nominates for the Hall of Shame, have any effect? Stardock is not banning anyone, I doubt they even read any of this, so what is the point? It seems kinda useless to me.[/quote]It's for venting.
[quote who="Teseer" reply="15" id="2489896"]I feel like I should be offended, lol.[/quote]Should you? Perhaps I should have stated "myself included," because I am. Reg is just not good under normal circumstances.
[quote]I don't consider myself a 'bad' player, but I only have like 225 if the stat tracking is accurate.[/quote]I still wouldn't want yo to play Regulus on my team (not that I woudl honestly want pretty much anyone to).
[quote who="Teseer" reply="8" id="2489866"]A few hundred is pushing it, but hes definantly not someone to start with. Or a good second pick.[/quote]I really disagree, most players have way more games than you realize, even the bad ones.
Just don't use Regulus unless people fellate you over your record every time you join a game. He's not good.
