Regen is good in PvP, that's about it. In PvE, every single mitigation set will outperform it when similar effort is put into it's build.

If you put 5 billion influence into both a Regen and a Willpower, the Willpower will blow the /Regens performance out of the water.

/Regen is the ONLY set that both A) has to seek defense and resistance from outside sources, via power pools and set bonuses and B) can have their primary means of mitigation completely stripped away by a LT class enemy. A SINGLE LT class enemy.

(1) They even replicated some poses straight from Miller's pages.

For a fanboy, that was an awesome episode. I'm not sure that non-fanboys got it, though.

(1 -- Yes, Batman beat Superman in that comic, but he had the help of Green Arrow, some Kryptonite, and a nuclear device.)

This thread is the Epic Movie of forum threads.

Or, I recall in the past suggesting a 'Weapons Assault' set for dom that basically used Martial Arts, Pistols, Katana, Dual Blades, Archery and Throwing Stars all in one set but limited in that you can only use one type of weapon mix at a time. The 'Build up/Aim/Power Boost' of the set would be 'Equipment Change' which would create a burst of smoke + PBAoE minor placate and would recharge all your attacks instantly while equipping a new set of thematic weapon mixes.
