Thanks. If that's the case Mard's hammer would be better. Regulus doesn't need to worry about late game dps, it's the early game that needs help in every way.

Frankly, you may be going about this completely the wrong way.  The best way to survive early game is to pump health:  Blood of the Fallen.  Use your health to stay alive until you can get Mageslayer or Ashkandor and then go offensive.  The early DPS items (and favor DPS items) help out much less per gold spent than health.

AA Reg almost has to take Swift Anklets I think.

You dont have mines to put in between you and your opponent to defend yourself.  And even if you have Blood of the Fallen, you are still going to get chewed up fast since you are still not going to have enough health to stand up to most DGs.  Your only defense is speed.  Its a really REALLY bad idea to allow the possibility of being slower than opposing DGs even before getting hit with slow skills as Reg if you dont have mines.  With a Mines build you have more choices since you can basically defend yourself by putting mines between you and the other DG.

Plus, the one thing that AA Reg does really well in all stages of the game is chasing down the weak and finishing them (plus you are going to have to be good at this if you want kills because you dont have the burst damage to get quick kills).  And that is going to require you to have a speed advantage also.

The exception to this is ntropy's suggestion.  If you are going for a slow and control build, then you want Poisoned Dagger.  But thats not really an AA Reg build since those builds usually use mines.

Poisened dagger means you can run away from anybody without boots or anklets. You just need to hit them until you see them slow to a crawl, then liesurly get out of range.

I find maim not enough against late game sedna, Beast and TB, but maim with poisened dagger, man it's fun kiting them to your pleasure.

Angelic Fury and Blade of the Serpent?

I used to use blade a lot, esp. with mines. But against organized/good opponents that double team you and run early, blade of the serpent doesn't save your butt or allow you to chase someone down and finish him off.

[quote who="NoW^StiL ReY" reply="11" id="2253150"]Blade of Serp is the only favor item[/quote]- smart

Poison dagger is a great way to go. Hitting an opponent 4 times while using it yields a 60% chance of slowing an enemy DG by 25%. Those are crazy good odds. The only way you get screwed is if you are ganked.

6.0 with wings still.

Hmm thats not the point of blade unless you mean dagger. Blade should be used on a wave of creeps so you can get multiple hits per shot which fills the mana bar in like 5 shots.

Obviously the point he was making is that Anklets can save your ass vs players while Blade cannot.

For all you regulus type people:

Poisoned dagger procs at 13% for ranged attack & 20% proc for melee, according to LUA

For furious blade, the proc is 10% ranged and 15% melee.

SERVE HOT AND ENJOY

In regards to heaven's wrath. Many times have I seen noob regulus players that use it to outfarm their own team, crippling them completely. So please, stop farming your own teammates XP and farm XP where no one is attacking grunts (such as big maps, Leviathan, etc). I never did understand why I am level 3 and my regulus teammate is level 6. At least he would help with killing enemy DG's? but nooooooo
