I usually see Erebi kill towers faster than Reguli.  And anyone else.

And I hope the eventual two new DGs' names both end in "-us."

not sure if this is what cwsault was getting at but this is a good way to down towers as Erebus.

you need level 1 mist and you have to follow a creep wave in to the tower. this definitely means wiping out the enemy creep wave on the way in so your whole creep wave gets their in tact. you also need at least 1 point in Coven (so you can get more than 2 Nightwalkers) but the more points in minion skills the better. 

you just park it at the tower and swing away. you mist every time the tower acquires you as a target (or you're in its splash range) and come out of mist whenever its safe. as your creeps die they'll turn into Nightwalkers and keep up the assault. keeping some Idol Priests around helps this immensely as well. 

this is one of the easiest ways for any Demigod to knockdown towers on a map where you can get your creep waves into tower contact easily. it totally fails against towers that its hard (or impossible) to get creeps up against. 

Erebus' minions take hit for him (retreat for a second if he is acquired by towe).  Priests heal minions, and you, negating one hit or so every 8 seconds.  Ultimately you can attack for a long time, and the dps of the minions adds together nicely to hit hard.  Also, since his minions make short work of a creep wave, you can often go into the tower attack with a full wave of creeps... creeps that turn into nightwalkers when they die.

All told, you have a surprising amount of survivability against a tower.

He wasn't?  He does?  I mean, he may take down a tower nicely, but Rook holds flags a heck of a lot better, and can tank multiple towers at once in a pinch.

And let's be honest, structural transfer is an amazingly good tower killer.  Does a lot of damage, heals you, and stuns the tower for 10 seconds.  Sure reg can do this out of the towers range, but in a pinch, that is awesome sauce.

If you have played any high level games, you'll know that it can be quite dangerous, escpecially as Rook to attack towers without back up. A telesnipe can devastating. A Rook is usually to slow to run and if you double telesniped then even a towerfarm wont safe you.  Also do you play Rook? Then you'll know that ST is a meh skill, since getting lvl 1 wont really  "tear" the tower apart and getting higher levels will keep you from getting skills that imho are more important than ST.

Its not the damage that counts, its the risk you are in, Regulus is in (almost)none since he can run away well before anything can catch him. 

He is named as an very good anti-demigod character, nowhere was he mentioned as the best siege demigod. And it would be pretty stupid if you would have an anti-DG charcater that had one of the best if not best siege DG and is not shallow against creeps either(mines anyone?).

Any general DG can seige... lol

Yes, I know of teleportsnipes, they are mentioned in a multitude of my posts, and yes I played with Erebus as Regulus.

The problem IC is that Regulus can get that advantage for 1 skillpoint, which is practically nothing, so in a game most of the players have it. Regulus doesn't have to invest in a burst Ability like Oak has too, it costs him ONE skillpoint and he is arguably the best siege DG. Oh yes and he can snipe stack hp and lay mines.

Not what I was referring to at all :/

The idea being, you run toward him, he throws mines, you teleport over the mines and onto him, and proceed to melt his face. Against a good erebus, Regulus is batfood.

Rook and Sedna are good counters to regulus.

Mines Reg is a purely defensive character whose effectiveness goes down as his opponents get better. Smart opponents will dodge them, trigger them with minions, trigger them under Shield, interrupt them, and will rarely get caught two DGs at a time. He can only get kills if his opponents are stupid or reckless, and is weak in pitched battles since his only good ability recharges in 10s.   

DPS Reg is the exact opposite. He can chase for kills, he has excellent sustained DPS, and only becomes stronger in arranged team settings if his allies can cover up his weaknesses. In close games where the teams can handle eachother's bursts with good counterplay, irresistable DPS becomes the key. 

This.

I laugh everytime I see an AF reg, and then proceed to stomp him to oblivion.
