    Dechs is right, that build is awesome!

    Been meaning to ask you though, any plans for the ATO set for that build?
  2. Gobbledygook
    I really, really wanted nin ported over to scrappers to.

    Then I rolled a /sr, took the epic with caltrops, and then grabbed the healing Ipower.

    Works well for me.

Or as with normal for our devs, they nerfed so that they could buff in some other way. ED gave us IOs, the fury nerf gave us brute ATO.

    Just for the hell of it, I'm crunching claws numbers using 95% fury and 14% crit rate for scrappers on the single target attack chain.

    EDIT: That's funny. With my current claws chain/enhancements/etc:
    Scrapper 198
    Brute 199.5

    yea, not seeing a problem here.

    EDIT2: Oh, superior goes to 16...
    Brute 199.5
    Scrapper 201.7

    Still not seeing a problem.

    I had been thinking of rerolling my claws/sr scrapper to a brute as well. Luckily I got the brute proc in a pack, so I wont have to spend that much money on it.

    Thanks alot BillZ, as if I didn't already have enough projects.

    Yeah, I'm tempted to reroll my AV soloer to a brute.

    My FM brute disagrees, as fury afects the DoT.

    Spc Bass, US Army reporting!

    My build? I'm 6' 0" 245, 19 inch neck, 22 inch arms brown hair and blue eyes. Was once told I was the scariest looking medic someone had ever seen.
    Now I'm a nurse.

    Oh, different Bass? My bad.

    Kinda reminded me of Sam Raimiss early work. Evil Dead anyone?

    The reason why I never brought it up was because the massive def and res that you were once capable of getting was one of the reasons that regen was looked at so hard by the Devs.

    It wasn't regen that was the real issue, it was regen combined with tough+weave+cj.

    Secondly, yes, they are a lot more expensive, like 10 to 20 times more.
    That's the whole reason I slotted ToD in my /EA toon. Still get softcapped for a cheaper price.

    And of course, once you add IOs into the picture, Regen can get perma-DP and then it's WAY ahead.
    Sorry, thought we were talking passive regen, no toggles. Suppose that's what I get for posting when I'm tired.

    Other than having to eat a couple yellows to be able to hit them, I had no trouble whatsoever tanking a mob of lvl 52s (+5 to me).

    Again, thank you so very much Gobbledygook!

    PS - here`s my upcoming new costume for when he hits 50...I call it Cybretooth.
    Glad you like it. And may I say that is one bad *** costume.

    *shaking head* He's just so damned squishy, it's frustrating as hell. Does not feel like a tank to me at all.
    Here's his build, if ANYONE has any ideas/input/suggestions (that are affordable) to help save him from the "retired due to lack of survivability" pile, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Now play with this, and make a bad *** tiger costume.

    Honestly, I feel this thread is becoming less and less helpful: it's degenerated into "Regen sucks b/c my Regen keeps dying" vs. "Regen is fine b/c my Regen never dies" posts (note: I'm guilty of this as well ).

    I say, we hit the restart button, and try to be more constructive than "I [don't] die!" posts:

    If you feel regen needs some help, why do you think it's lacking and how can it be made better?

    Maybe putting up some builds (SOs as well as decked out IO) for comparison so those of us that think Regen is invincible can help those that think it's squishy?


    Thank you for this. The original intent is to be a DISCUSSION, not a contest to see who has the biggest E Peen.

    Part of the reason I listed all of the changes at the beginning was to illustrate that with the way things work today (ED GDN) that regen performing like that most likely wouldn't happen. I freely admit to being terrible at math though.

    Slight necroposting as I am searching the boards for an idea on a stalker.


    I personally have always wanted to make a stalker, I just dislike the AT, alot.
    So I decided to make a scrapper that I could stalk with. A Wm/Sr scrapper with SS and a stealth IO actually makes for a fun and interesting play session.
    I even confuse team mates sometimes. I'll wipe out a whole group, and when finished, say "Man, I love my stalker"

    Then someone invariably explains to me the difference between the two AT's.

So, the level grind for Regen in its current state is completely foreign to me. I don't like to repeat sets, so I haven't rolled another Regen recently.
    The leveling is the real ***** of it.

    After I started this thread, I decided to try the "New Regen", and rolled a SS/Reg brute. CoT can kiss my ***. Seriously. -rech, -reg, and some pretty damned hard hitting attacks. I've only thought about deleting him twice so far. Though that's twice as many times as I've thought about it on any other toon I make. This guy will be SO/Generic IO's only.

    But shields has +Hp, while EA and nin have a self heal.

    All /sr has is def.

    I enjoyed it until I hit 50 and teaming with it. ITFs taught me the meaning of 'faceplant' more than playing any of my blasters ever did.
    Lol

    The power stun in em? Or the status effect?

    Well, all I play are melee toons, so stun is completely worthles to me. It's like hand clap, or provoke on a scrapper. If I wanna get somethings attention, I will stab/punch/kick/burn something in it's face.

    You know, I haven't touched the set in a while.
    Maybe I should give it a run. I know there was a post in the brute section about a Ss/Reg, using just SO's or generic IO's.

    Maybe I'll give that a try, give some feedback.
