Great! I've never actually done one, but would absolutely love to. Just hit 35 early this morning to.

Who's Going to arrange the first CoP trial for our server? For as long as I've played this game, I've never actually done one, and would love to.

It's not, or it sometimes is... which is it?
(hint: IH gives +regen).
Regeneration is all two of the powers do (Fast Healing and IH), and a portion of a third (Integration), along with being enhanced as a side effect of Dull Pain. I'd say that Regeneration is a large portion of what gives Regeneration decent performance (plus, it's the namesake of the set).
Also, if I start to ramble a bit, please pardon me, I've been up for almost 24 hours now.
Maybe I should have been a little more specific with my criticism of the set as it now stands. Let me preface this by saying that this is all in my opinion, based on my experiences with /self empathy, or /SE as Iwill be referring to it from now on.
Regeneration: Regeneration lets you regenerate more quickly from damage and effects. Regeneration offers almost no actual damage resistance, but your Hit Point and Endurance Regeneration can become so incredibly fast, that your wounds heal almost instantly. Those who possess this power set have little downtime, but risk the effects of spike damage.
This is from paragonwiki, though I'm fairly certain the in game description is the same. This, and the the ingame description would lead someone to believe that the main point of the power set is to regenerate any incoming damage, but if you take to much, to fast, that you are, well, screwed.
In actuality, the set hasn't played like that since purple patch, ED introduction, and "Alterations" in the powers themselves, as well as to tough and weave, which were the real culprits. The new cornerstone of regens survivabilty is not the sets name, regeneration, but the click heals. Yes, one of them does increase your total HP, there by increasing the amount of HP/s recovered. Both /Inv and /stone have the exact same power as well. Not to mention the fact that /sd has has true grit and /WP has
high pain tolerance.
Yes, /SE also has MoG, which when you activate this power, you gain Resistance and Defense to all damage types except Psionics, recover Endurance more quickly, and are highly resistant to Knockback, Sleep, Disorient, Immobilization, and Hold effects.
Res and Def. Not regeneration.
Finally we have IH.
In I3, Instant Healing Max Regeneration buff was slightly reduced. Additionally, it gains less of a boost from each added Enhancement. Making it less effective at regeneration.
In I4, they reduced the amount of Regeneration Buff that can be enhanced in Instant Healing, again, making the power set called regeneration, less effective at, wait for it, regenerating.
In I5 they made IH a click instead of a toggle because it was "to strong" and also added -regen to critters attacks. Took 16 issues to get -regen resistance. Hell, /WP had it when it came out, in a power that was a copy of /SE.
So, they took the cornerstane, and went to town on it with a sledge hammer.
The cornerstone of /SE is now a click heal, just like reform essence that PB's get, along with Dull pain. You know, the one that increases regeneration by increasing max hp. Just like /inv, /stone, and /PB's get. Of course those other powersets also have shields to increase there def/res. But /SE has more passive regen right?
I mean we get fast healing. Then again, so does /WP, and it gets it's +hp in a passive. And it has a toggle that increases it's regeneration to almost twice what regen does if surrounded, and debuffs the to hit if those around it. Yes, it's a small debuff, but it's a debuff none the less. And has toggles for res and def. and has had -reg resistance since it was released.
Hell, as mentioned earlier, even /SD has +hp from a passive, and has pretty respectable def and res, as well as +dam -
Hello everyone, my real name is Terry.
I am a Melee-a-holic. Well, more like addicted to fury and scrapperlock.
I am a Nurse in the Army, after spending 10 years in combat unit.
I have been here since June of 04, though I didn't discover the forums until late July/early August.
My first home was Triumph. My first toon was a claws/regen scrapper named Gobbledygook. I used to play in Power Plant, then the majority of us went on to form True Alliance. I deployed, and while in Iraq, me and a friend in my Unit started the Guardians of Soul Society, a Bleach themed SG.
After having a hard time ever finding group to run TFs with, I decided to try Freedom. I have been there for nearly 2 years now.
Right now I am working on a SS/EA brute, and a SS/Self Empathy brute, so I will be around for quite some time.
I enjoy TF's, trials, AV hunts, and the occasional mission.
My global is @Captain Prime, so if you ever wanna team, I'll probably be up for it.
P.S. I work nights at the Hospital, so on my days off, I'm up just about all night, and rarely play during daylight hours. -
I admit to only having played one /self empathy toon since the nerf, but I am giving it another try.
-
I lol'ed. Repeatedly. Especially at Friggin Taser.
-
He *did* beat the hell out of the enhancement system (ED) and changed an entire powerset. We used to have /regen, now we have /self empathy.

I introduced my ex to the game, and when we played together she would go buy TOs every 2 or 3 levels. I tried to explain to her how the enhancements effectiveness worked, I tried to explain about the existence of DOs and SOs and how much better they were, and I tried pointing out how fast we were leveling up, that she was wasting inf. But she just kept stocking up on TOs.
Then when she found a DO store somewhere around level 15, she complained she couldn't afford them. /facepalm
Then again, this is the same woman I had to speak with for over an hour (not exaggerating) on the phone walking her through the process of crafting a jetpack temp power. -
This game is the only reason I ever bought a computer. In Jun 2004, I came back from Iraq, and was walking through Best Buy with a friend of mine. We were getting something to help his kid. I saw City of Heroes, picked up the box and started reading. A super hero video game? Hell yeah!
I took the box over to the guy at the computers, told him I wanted to play this game, show me a computer that could do it. 2 hours later I was calling another friend to borrow there truck, because Best Buy either wouldn't deliver the computer, chair, and desk that I had just purchased, or they couldn't do it that day.
Once I got home, I set up the desk (took an hour) set up my computer, and started it up. I was amazed at the loading screens, you know, the ones with the AT descriptions.
Once it was all finished installing, I tried to sign in.
Oh boy, a super hero game!
The hell do you mean I need internet to play this?
Time Warner Cable, I need internet.
No, it can't wait till next week.
Well how much extra to get somebody out here today?
I don't care if the techs are supposed to get off in an hour, I need internet, ASAP.
Yes, I'll pay the extra 40 dollars.
Two hours later, I had blazing fast high speed internet.
I logged in, picked my powers Claws/regen, duh. I'm a Wolvie fan boy)
Got to the costume creator, and couldnt see anything except the silhouette of my toon. I just picked some random costume pieces and loaded in. The scenery was beautiful. All the costumes I saw were great. I even got a few compliments on mine. When I explained I couldn't see anything, I was told I needed a new video card. by this time it was already pretty late, so I just played.
The next day, new video card, plus 100 dollars to get it installed right then.
I loved it, and have been here ever since. I even managed to play while I was deployed. At the time, I hadn't even met my future wife. Now I have my account, my wife has hers, and my almost 6 year old girl has her own account to. -

Regen is a pretty good set, but it does need a bit of help to put it where it should be.
1. Give it 95% Regeneration Debuff Resistance. Regeneration is the set's keystone, just like Defense is Super Reflexes' keystone. SR is allowed to hang on to its Defense, Regeneration should be allowed to hang on to its Regeneration.
Personally I'd be happier if they just renamed it Clicky heal.
I am having fun with my new SS/Click Heal brute though. -
Well, since the name of this thread is the first...
We ran the first Exalted Posi TF yesterday evening. -
Top Doc is probably working on a CEBR for Exalted
-
Were they implementin Marty today to? I bet Marty broke it.
-
This looks interesting. Never really read the Legion before, though I did enjoy the cartoon with Supes.
-
Personally I was hoping to pair it with Street justice. I do however have an idea for a Venom/symbiote type of toon, Claws/EA.

I loathe the first couple months after set proliferations. I find myself teaming with too many combos similar to my own.
I'm one of those odd folks who prefer to play the sets after a while when people get tired of it.
Nevertheless, I don't think anyone mentioned the few combos I had in mind. Which is a good thing I guess.
Someone mentioned a SS/Reg for pvp. I honestly had not thought about PvP at all. Think I may have to give this a shot. -

Yeah, I had a lvl 50 bumped StJ/Regen Brute on beta that was randomly slotted with some store bought IOs.
Before I never liked Regen because of the "clicky nature" of the heals and I wasn't just used to figuring out when the best time for me to use the heals would be.
Scratch that, I still don't really; heck while on beta, I died once because I didn't have either of my heals up/ready to use....then I noticed I had Instant Healing to use (I was fighting at +2 x3 (or 4) Freakshow at the time). Oops heh.
So I'm torn...try a new set and hope I get used to when to use the heals/and like the set (and possibly not like the toon because of that)...or just go willpower and not worry about that.
Hmmm....
I know I want to make a StJ toon....hmm...maybe make */Regen brute and just plan on deleting him when StJ is released....
Oh and I didn't read all the posts but...
What is "smeld"? -
I was pretty impressed with StJ during beta, and would love to make one, though I know that won't be possible tomorrow.
First I will be re-rolling my Fm/Reg into a brute.
Second toon will either be a SS/EA, or a Wm/Sd scrapper.
What about everyone else? -

I agree to an extent Oath. It is what it is and believe me, Im not some crazy "he/she HAS to look this/that way cuz thats the way it is in the comics/novels" kind of guy. Even though if you take a look at comics, like 95% of the heroes/villains look like CPT America...a bunch of super soldiers and supermodels. There are exceptions like Wolverine whos like 3ft4, but hes still built like a midget super soldier.
That is all, carry on. -

Any chance of seeing that build Claws? Or is it top secret? I know I've been working on Regen builds for non Sword using some, and on my Martial Arts/Regen in actual play I just wasn't happy with it. Maybe it was the low AOE...but I know I'd like to see it for ideas on how you pulled it all off.
I second this. -
Yeah, I'll be rerolling my Fm/Reg as a brute as well. Am looking forward to it, though I am still slightly concerned that WP really did steal all of Regens thunder.

Tuesday we get to play with this, and I for one am looking forward to it. I didn't get to do much during the Betas because of work. What was everyone elses experience?
