i agree. but then it needs a slight nerf. maybe more mana or something

Tournament on hard mode, forgot to mention that, I can easily beat easy and normal, even though the ally AI is retarded

The last thing a regulus needs is more speed. It's one of their most beneficial stats to have when it comes to survivability, and their main weakness is survivability. Buff speed through wings and you have just made them both strong and enduring.

You see, there's this thing that's more important than fluffy flavor...

It's called gameplay.

I'd rather see Angelic Fury turn into a giant gaudily bright rather than make AF make Regulus go faster.  If AF increases speed without a significant and constant mana drain, it would be too powerful. If AF did increase speed with a constant mana drain, I don't know if it would either make AF still too powerful or make it a pain in the neck to use.

In any case, is it really necessary to make AF increase Regulus's speed? I somehow doubt that.

There are times when game ballance get priority over realism, this is certainly one of those times.

it should be last in tree

I don't agree because stacked movement speed already = no deaths most of the time.  We don't need a character with a lot of range and an annoying kiting ability also having a movement speed enhancing skill.

He'd be too good at chasing people do.. :/ and kiting.

Well, uh, yeah. Because that's how wings work.

There are two parts to design: gameplay and theme. Theme is important. Without it, we might as well be moving colored squares around on a black screen filled with numbers. Telling someone with wings they can't avoid a grunt's sword or fly over a short gap in the lanes is like telling someone with a crossbow that they can't shoot with it. It just doesn't make any sense.

You can't throw theme out the window to satisfy game balance, you have to work with the theme. Demigods with wings should be able to fly, demigods with legs should be able to walk, and demigods with bows should be able to shoot. Period. If those demigods then become too powerful because of those abilities, either nerf them in other ways or don't give them wings.

Edited to Add: LOL scyldSCHEFING, I have no idea how I missed your post, saying pretty much the same thing, and much more concisely

Regulus is one of the best demigods in the game and, unsurprisingly, one of the easiest to play.  While I agree getting wings is a little ... anticlimactic -- the angelic splendor really isnt there -- "because it FEELS right" isn't a good reason to put something in a game, especially when you'd effectively be buffing an already very strong character.

No...

Just make AF a halo or something and get rid of the wings.

...if it's that important, that is.

Ultroman, I like the way you think -- but then you'd have to have angelic fury sap mana by the second not by the shot.  HEY, doesn't sound too bad!  I think this thread is going places.

Yeah, we could do that. But I already think there's good reason not to use Angelic Fury all the time, because if there's only one mob/demigod around, then its almost wasted mana already. Except for the attack bonus
