[UTTER SHIT] The Regulus Army

from Demigod Forums

As I thought, guns in a melee fight bestow unto the gunner a horrendous advantage.

A disclaimer: I do not contend that Regulus on his own is imbalanced. I do however contend that given how his primary ability is his gun (crossbow.... its a gun) and given that that weapon`s ability is improved by virtue of dedicated and compounding skill point applications, when you encounter *FOUR* Regulus characters all together they are unstoppable.

It reminds me of Zerglings charging a Terran bunker.

The Forces Of Light are in the lead overall in the Pantheon. I wonder how many groups of Light there are comprised entirely of Reguli?

This isn`t like taking out four Rooks or four Oaks... these characters have their primary weapon which *is* the focus of their ability point expenditures (unlike the primary attacks of Queen Of Thorns or TorchBearer ranged as they are) working at apt yet devastating range. In those circumstances Regulus could have an armour of 2 and a health of 3 for all that it matters. The time it takes for you to walk into melee with them is about 3 hits later. From each of the Reguli. That is guaranteed death once they get the process going, and getting that process going isn`t that hard.

I love this game, I know this has been discussed before, but I`ll say it anyway because it is as I feared it might be: fighting armies of Reguli is most definitely not fun.

Beyond eliminating the selection of duplicate characters in Pantheon play, I do not know how to mitigate this.

Use warpstone if you don't want to walk into battle. I've never played a game where there was more than a single Regulus on a team. Pantheon games are populated with AI anyways.

They do nothing but snare people O.o

I can't tell you how many times i've been snared to about 10% ms from multiple snares, two coming from regulus, one from those gloves.

You know, I am one who contends that he is imbalanced, and I had considered doing exactly what you did, playing a game on a balanced team against a team of reguli just to show the character of the imbalance. I knew it would show in great relief the imbalance of the character.

I don`t have a problem with him singly... its when the entire opposing force is Regulus...

I`ll play with a Warpstone, see what can happen...

Please do.  If you are playing in 3B I think you'll find the Regs get rolled.  (I heard we got a 7k patch yesterday though, maybe that changed some values?)
