Im of the same opinion. Should be buffed. Not worth the skill point and that late in the game, an interrupt isnt going to help. Especially such an unreliable one.

I could not beleive it either.  Just seems SO useless.  I did try the "start flying in the middle of a mob" talent, but that was nearly deadly every time, especially for a DG that's suppose to stay at range.

Yup, very dissapointed in that one as well. I wouldnt take either of these skills in any situation.

Fortunately, Regulus is a good solid character just with his passives, mines, snipe and Mark. He also makes very good use of the stat boosts so its not like we run out of places to spend our points.

.3 seconds is enough to interrupt an ability, though. Perhaps that's the intention. One shot out of 33 has a chance to interrupt.

Im sure the skill was more powerful and through Beta ended up being nerfed a little too much. Interrupt on normal attacks is a VERY powerful ability. Especially on a character that can relly solely on his normal attack.

I want to take a second stab at Vengeance. The usesage of the ability doesnt seem very good but consider this:

500 AoE Damage in 10 Radius

2 sec cast, 5 sec cooldown.

0 Mana cost.

My powergamer senses are tingling. There really seems like there could be a devastating combo here combined with -cooldown favor item, flag and artifact. We can get the cooldown to 3 seconds. Now, I dont remember if the cooldown activates upon turning off angelic fury. But for arguments sake lets say it does.

So, activate for 500 damage (cooldown begins of 3 seconds) by this time you should be easily doing 250 damage a shot to demigods, so we will add in another 500 damage from that (again being very conservative as you can possibly get 3 or 4 shots off in that time. Turn off angelic fury, 3 second cooldown activates, 2 more shots at 150 damage is 300 damage. Rinse and repeat.

The cycle does 1300 damage, 500 in a large radius around Regulus and 500 in a small radius around whatever he shoots. The cycle takes 10 seconds (2 initial for vengeance to activate, 3 secs of cooldown, 2 to deactivate, 3 sec cooldown) which isnt all that long for that kind of damage ESPECIALLY considering this costs you next to no mana (40 a shot while AF is active).

All of this is PURE theorycraft. I have tested none of it. But while pondering about vengeance, I had the idea and figured id bring it up. Its definately one of those things that will either be minorly useful or absolutely devastating. Id like you all to give it a shot and see what happens.

Cheers,

Chaos

The problem with Vengeance isn't the damage that it does, which is decent.. but that you have to be close to use it and, here's the kicker - you can't interrupt the 2 second form change. Regulus isn't really built for melee combat, and he can get torn to shreds by a heavy/fast melee damage dealer, especially if he's unable to move for the 2 seconds it's activating. Sure it does 500 damage, but UB built for attack speed and Bestial Wrath can rip Regulus a new one in that time

at lvl 15 500 damage aoe that isnt instant is crap doesnt matter what it costs ... and especially when you need to stand near them to use it

Not sure which of us you were replying to, HorseRadish, so I'll just reiterate that I was making the example with Regulus not being able to do anything for the 2 seconds while Vengeance is activating.. 2 seconds is a lot for Beast in melee against Regulus

Maybe some abilities in this game aren't for taking out Demigods?  Perhaps it's just extra AoE for clearing out creeps...and that's it.

I play Reg a lot and I agree. I never get that spell because procs like that rarely occur when they would be useful.

You guys don't get it.

Dead-eye does not proc off of Snipe exclusively.

It means that all of the Regs attacks have a 3% chance to stun the target, which is practical for running down a target or getting a lucky interrupt.

In case any of you are still confused, I will capslock this: DEADEYE PROCS OFF OF AUTOATTACKS AS WELL.

3% is a bit low, but I always get this skill because it always pays off. Combined with Maim, no one can escape you.
