Dont play Reg until you know how

2 horrible Reg partners in a row.

Reg's job is to annoy, to slow and to be the final nail in the coffin.

Dont tank. Dont waste the snipe opportunity. Dont horde money to build the ultimate machine gun pew-pew Reg.

I play as Oak (someone has to do the damage). Names altered to protect the lame:

Rag... - what the hell were you doing out there? Oak and Reg vs TB and LE, dominate on Cat.

--no points in maim? you should be slowing them so I can chew them up.

--poisoned blade favor item? really, you like 5% attack speed and a low chance to significantly slow?

--why did you have 5K in gold when the replay craps out? saving for mage slayer? for you to find that useful you would have to have been dominating and bought all the useful citadel upgrades. In other words, that is icing on a winners cake, not a game changer. Think creep upgrades, think hard.

--snipe towards the end of combat to help seal the deal. Maybe put a point into tracking so you can get a few kills after we break off...?

I could go on but your build and equipment did not have any useful skills. No real contribution to the team.... I would have been better off with an AI. At least with the reduced payouts it would have fed them less. This is after the TB quit at about lvl 6. By this time you allowed LE to too big of a head start on me so I couldnt drive him off. Hey, cap a flag while I am engaged with LE, maybe wear down the towers. TP in and help with some lvl 3 mines or finish with a snipe. At least go kill some grunts to level so you can stay relevant.

doco... read some strategy guides, pass a quiz on it then try Reg again. Oak & Reg vs LE and UB, dominate on Cat.

--same thing, where are your skills going? no maim? lots of early Enh Attributes? why did you pass up useful skills? waiting to acheive awesomeness at lvl 20?

--Reg is not a tank. Repeat until you can find the tank on the map.

--dont buy a minor health and mana each time you go to the shop. By the time you have visited 3 times you could have bought a permanent item to boost to anything.

--Dont just stand there, shoot a grunt, level, try to keep up. Maybe wear down a tower, you did have a point in extended range.

--why did you buy the bonus to tower damage before buying the auto-repair? non-existant towers dont do extra damage. Why buy it when you did? By then they were mostly a lost cause because LE was a minion driven wrecking ball.

--dont waste a random snipe on an UB. You may need the mana to do something useful and he may not have noticed the damage. Maybe if you had tracking you could say that you were planning something devastating later but without it... you were what, hoping for his respect?

Reg apparently needs a 20 win minimum.

Also what is up with the constant invalid gamestate in replays? I can hardly get them to play anymore. Awesome feature but still buggy.

I suggest using snipe to assist your teammates. Don't snipe for no reason, but if your team has engaged an enemy DG, that is reason enough. Even if a priest is there, it'll heal for your snipe and therefore not heal for some other damage your team is applying.

I used to do AF builds. I was winning about 50% of the time. AF builds require the mageslayer, crit gloves, and nature's reckoning, and narmoth's if you want to stay alive. With those items it is effective, but you can rarely afford them. The end result is that it's too pricey for the dps. Ability builds require both mana crowns, which is much more reasonable. Cit upgrades win the game. Get giants first, upgrade your giants first. It will do more to win you the game for a given amount of money than anything else. If you are playing regulus, play a build that is team-focused. That build is based on abilities, not AF.

Besides, ability builds are actually tons more fun to play.
