Replace staff with heavens wrath, get unbreakables after vlemisch, insert superreguluspro skills and you have the (only) halfway decent regulus build.

This build is great against bad players. That's not to say it can't perform competitively, but bad players are vulnerable to the "unexpected" damage from a long range snipe from across the map.

So are good players. So are great players. They may be ready for the first one, but the second one often gets them, especially after a sudden liberation of the hp flag on cataract.

This is similar to the build I use, except I rely on getting mark earlier. I also go for the plenor + hungarlings (eventually) so I don't run out of mana. It's worked very well for me so far.

In that build, not selling the helm, then just augmenting it with both velmish and plenor gives you plenty of mana to sustain a fight. It's also far cheaper than getting hungarlings. My build has been looking like this lately at the start. I tend to get some armor and health upgrades, however, since there are others on my team who get to the cit at the proper times for citups.

As an addendum, if you're up against someone who's getting good with the oak minion build, you'll probably want to put 1 pt into AF. Reg goes from getting owned by spirits to owning spirits with just that 1 pt. They are not affected by his mines blast.

After you do this basic build, you put all your points into AF, a couple into maim, one in scope, and whatever's left into attributes, THEN go buy a mageslayer...

i think the build can actually be pretty competitive.

i cant think of a solid counter to it anyway.

mines do an absolute tonne of dmg all the way to late game, and u can really spam them with renewal.

snipe means every 1v1 battle is 1v2 in favor of your allies.

how can you counter it if you cant reach the guy to stop him...?

i hate playing vs these kind of reg builds, and it is great fun to play as them. almost top tier, but maybe not quite.

u dont need mageslayer in any way shape or form, this is not an auto attack build at all, you should rarely even be in range of enemies.

any auto-attack build in this game on any demigod will never be as good as hp + armor stacking. thought that was verified eons ago.

pffft bugger it doesnt suck in bad games  

i love AA reg so much.  You can mow anyone down early game... I've gotten kills on botf beasts 1v1 lol.  Towers drop incredibly fast.. and then you get mageslayer wooooo

Food for thought: AA reg with poison dagger.

Ah, but then you have to choose between sigil, lock, and tp (2/3). Given that choice, most players would ditch the lock, giving you a warscore advantage from just your favor item

nah good players can't run away from the maim plus boots of speed if absolute need be.  They just stack too much armor and I start hitting for liek 50 and they walk up and gangrape  And then u can't interrupt them flag cappin ur portz

When lolkatz armor stack, they end up vulnerable to your ability using teammates. You can choose the counter the AA reg or a casting DG, but not both. AA reg seems to do best when he has some of the random damage items, like nature's reckoning and crit gloves.

IMO, there is a place for AA reg, but he really needs a teammate to help him do well. He's too gold hungry for me tho. Casting reg is much cheaper on items for the damage you get.

This is true.

However, reg is usually with an ally, and you don't really know where he hid those mines. They could actually be laid on the other side of the map, where your teammates is fighting his. Also, you're not going to get the kill by standing back and chasing him with minotaurs. You can, however, save yourself from certain death via the wonderful 4050 nuke + snipe.

Good thing too. If was easy for reg to do 4050 dmg using mines alone, he'd be so seriously OP everyone would play him.

Still, 1v1 is risky for reg, which is why he's strongest as a support DG. All his abilities work at a distance - a long distance, and his aa is ranged. He can easily stand behind a tank and dole out his damage... as long as mana isn't a problem, hence the 3 helms.

I play several DGs now, but I certainly don't mind having a good regulus with me.

I forget scope too. You can push towers just fine with some creeps and a teammate.

I've posted my build awhile ago now. At lvl 5 you can either get bug or mark, depending on the situation, but range is really not important. I didn't really specify that you don't have to sell the basic mana help once you get vlemish, but you pretty much end up doing just that.

I also would recommend filling an unused equip slot with gauntlets, then sell them for your first bigger health item.

I honestly find caster reg as fun to play as caster TB. Maybe more so, because of the planning involved.
