    I went for 35% melee and probably around 80% recharge before hasten on my Claws/Regen.

    OK so let’s run down some of the BS/Regen options here...

    Option A: Double stack Parry - Werner's or the chain I mentioned should be OK. That slight drop off should not matter much. This should be the cheaper option as it does not require insane amount of recharge for the chains, and should allow you to focus on getting range/aoe defense higher than the other 2 option I'm gonna list down...

    Option B: Single stack Parry - The chain I mentioned should work great in here. Gonna have a bit more damage than option A but it'll cost a bit more to come up with I think.

    Now before I head to option C.... I do not wanna see any kind of reply in the line of "Wow!!! Gonna need to put up a second mortgage on my house for that build"...or..."That would be great if I have all my character slots filled and every single one of them have 2 billion influence saved up"

    Option C: Chaos's attack chain... You're gonna need recharge coming out of your... toes here. I know!!! That does not include Parry in the chain, but from my experience with regen, DP+IH is usually enough to survive most things. Now you ain’t gonna be able to perma IH, but you can get it down to 160+ seconds recharge. When IH is down however, you're gonna need to transition over to Option A.

    C is probably what I'd go for if I have endless supply of influence...
    And it'll be looking like...

    The question is how often are you gonna use parry?

    Parry->Hack->HS->Hack->Disembowel for 1
    Parry->Hack->HS->Parry->Hack->Disembowel is what I use for my BS/Inv to double stack parry

  6. Iggy_Kamakaze
    Would personally go with a 5 piece apoc minus the dam/end or dam/rech and stick the BU proc in it. For a cheaper slotting I'd go with 4 pieces Devastation minus the dam/end and the proc with acc/dam/rech thunderstrike and the BU proc.
    The set bonuses are nice on those and I do like the BU proc

Also WP doesn't have any wierd superpower type powers, it has strength of will, but thats more like a sudden surge of determination and adrenaline that causes that. =)
    Yep, WP would probably go better on a Wolverine clone

    Also you can get your regen up to 70hp/s with only one enemy and good slotting, which is more than regeneration without instant healing. With 10 enemies you can get about 1200% regen, whereas regeneration with IH gets arround 1400% and you can have that with 0 enemies in range, although it's only really up half the time.

    hope this helps =)
    Gonna have to back up Regen on this one...
    Regen Stats:
    70+ hp/sec - have to count in DP
    1500+% - with IH on... sure it might not be even up half the time, but I take what I can

Even stranger: changing it back to Katana did not return the lost defense, though it stayed at 42% from that point on. This probably has an easy solution (going to look into it now), but if anyone knows why this might happen, I'd be interested to hear.
    Make sure CJ is turned on. It turns off when ever you switch out the primary like that.

    Note as Werner had indicated, you might not want the exact power switch from Katana to BS on that build.

    I've seen a Stone Tank with Whirlwind... yes it was comedy
  10. Iggy_Kamakaze
    Should have put a warning label on that build...

    I don't personally have a BS/DA, all I was doing was trying to improve on the previous build.
    If I were to build for one, it would include some purps which would improve the accuracy and recharge and it'll probably be Katana.


    So apologies for any kind of inconvenience that the build had cost you...

    That way I could just skip all my Primary and Seconday powers... Tons of fun there

    I don't mind getting plastered... either be 1on1 2on1 or 20on1, figured someone should get lucky and get one of those PvP IO's... I aint greedy...
  15. Iggy_Kamakaze
    EA wasn't too bad for me even on just SO. I have it paired with Claws. The ability to run all your toggles + maneuvers, tough-weave and CJ without any concern on the blue bar is a plus. With all those defense slotted up, you should be looking at 37+% defense on s/l/f/c/e with around 33% on negative.
    Quick draft going on just SO.

    So I guess 86% on top of 24.9% tohit is a bit much?
    But it is rather nice not to miss too much...



    Gonna have to experiment more...

As usual, build for +HP (as much as you can, really), +recharge (DR starts to hit it in the 30-50% range), and some +damage. +Acc is nice as well but not quite so necessary if you're running Tactics or Focused Accuracy (you should be on just about any PvP character).
    I'm curious to know what kind of accuracy should one be packing in a build. I too had began to wonder off on the pvp side of things. With the annoyance that those widows and stalkers bring, I built my kat/regen with as much +acc as I can cram in a build. But if you're saying that tactics or FA is enough, that could save me some power picks and slots to play around with.


    I know lol Katana, but either that or claws...

    Since we are in the Fire/Regen topic here, how are you doing in PvP with yours Santorican?

    I took my Katana/Regen built for PvE in RV a couple of days ago and has been stuck there. I'm actually thinking of putting a PvP build for him but I am not sure where to go with that.
    Maybe you could give me a few pointers...

    One advantage of BS/Katana as your primary is the ability to softcap melee/lethal in the ways of Parry/DA. I would definitely try to fit in Parry on your build and have that cover your melee/lethal defense. I would then work on getting f/c/e/n defense with the higher priority going on the e/n. Get your regen and on a hasten less build, HP as high as you can get them.
    Here is what I run with currently for comparison.
