^Amen to that....Has anyone ever "bought" that?

yeh ... both tribute and that reg skill need changing.

Not that I disagree with your overall conclusions, Tribue is a horrible skill, but this statement (that it's unique in that it has nothing to do with the skill points leading up to it) is not true.

Regulus' Dead Eye has nothing to do with Snipe

UB's Acclimation has nothing to do with Inner Beast

TB's Inspirational Flame has nothing to do with Circle of Fire

Erebus's Bloody Haze has nothing to do with Mist (though at least in this case, it's a defensive skill from a line of defensive skills)

The worst is regulus 3% chance on o.4 seconds stun 

I've always thought that the 0.4 second stun is designed to be nothing more than a %chance to interrupt, but yeah, 3% to interrupt is not worth it either.

Impossible - while Currency is very useful, level 15 is a bit late game for the extra gold to make that much of a difference.  If it were a lvl 5 ability, or even level 10, then it'd be a great skill.  As a level 15 skill, it's kind of 'meh'.

Well,

1. Dead Eye is a ranged skill (yeah, it sucks)
   
2. Inspiratinal Flame only works inside the Circle of Fire
3. Bloody Haze... you did read the description of it, or?

You're right about Acclimation though, which I think is one of the best special skills.

By the description for Dead Eye, it has nothing to do with Snipe, and only works for "standard" attacks (which I interpret as auto-attack).  Has nothing to do with Snipe.  And everything about Reg is a "ranged skill."

I didn't realize Inspirational Flame only works inside the circle.  I simply saw the description at the http://demigod.wikia.com/wiki/Torch_Bearer wiki page, which doesn't mention the circle.

Ditto for Bloody Haze.  I thought all it did was give the vamp a passive chance to dodge.

Yay for halfhearted research?    Ok, maybe not

Wow, the I misread the description which says:

Torch Bearer draws power from the flame, gaining 15% Mana and 200% Mana Per Second.

Imho, another awesome special skill (imagine the cost of an item with those stats).

The Queen's two other special skills include a very small, very weak AOE for the absolutely useless Uproot skill, and Goddess of Thorns which I took a few times already, but I did not see any difference in the two "improved" skills (could somebody please dig into the LUAs to see what it really does?).

U are right CosMoe when u play 2on2 or 3on3 a queen isnt that good in the end

She has no real sepcial effects like sedna(stun, heal bad effects, + more health persecond...)

A queen is nothing against a sedna when u play a 2on2

I think Stardock should change this in the next updates increase the queen or decrease the sedna.

I like Regulus' Dead Eye. In my normal build I get a lot of attack speed, so 3% isn't that low. And this skill comes with no cooldown and you don't have to aim and time the attack to interrupt an enemy skill.

3% is exceptionally low. With enemy skills that have a 1.5 second cast time (pretty long) and you attacking twice a second (pretty high), you have a lower than 10% chance to interrupt. Mind you, this is at level 15, and the game isn't lasting much longer. It's almost worthless as a chase, as it stuns for 0.04 seconds. Fail.

The whole concept of a % chance to interrupt is horrid from the beginning. The reason why you interrupt someone is that they are doing something and/or you think they are about to do something, and you use a skill that you know will interrupt it. % chance interrupts lack both the deliberate timing and guaranteed nature of actual interrupts. The result is that they often trigger when nothing is happening but remain dormant when needed. Despite this, % chance interrupts are designed into a very large number of games, particularly MMOs.
