    Maths:
    My Slotting: Integration + Fast Healing + set bonuses = (50+(100+20)*1.799) + (75*1.424) + 12 = 384.68% +regen
    Split Slotting (procs in FH, 3 Numina in Int): Integration + Fast Healing + set bonuses = (50+(100)*91.78) + ((75+20)*1) + 12 = 348.78% +regen
    When I clearly go back and move some of my enhances on Mids, I am dropping in regen when I put the proc in Int vs. putting it in FH, and now that I have it in front of me, I stuffed mine in Health, my regen's sittin at 774% drops to 771% when I move it..I dont know, I know mids isn'100% accurate either, theres been a couple things that have thrown me off..
  2. Wait, so 2 powers with both + Regen, you are telling me that you get more Regen/sec If the Numi is in Int than FH? See I don't have mids where I am. Whats the number diff? Both FH and Int base, and then how much more regen you get with it being in Intergration because it clearly states that it adds a 20% regen rate off of the base. That doestn say that you get 25% bonus for it being in one power over the other. Not to mention, if you could find an extra slot for FH you get the extra 12% there...I havent even looked if hes past his 5 set cap but yea...explain please because I dont follow. Its a global bonus.... sooo ??
  3. I know that we as Regens always use Intergration, but why not throw the Numi Proc in Fast healing, and throw another Numi in Int? Will boost you in the Regen from the 2 Numi's as well, but throw in that addition. I mean aside from the standard IO heal you have in Fast healing that is. I always try to keep all my procs in an auto power ftw! But again what is mentioned here is expensive, but just by changin a few you might be able to save a couple bucks. I will be honest, I never work a purp or purp set into a build and I still get great results, sure not AS good as purps, but def enough.

    Edit: But seeing as its you Um, I am positive you are aware and have a reason for doing what you did
  4. Whats the Resistences with that though? Because On my WP build I am sitting in the same boat, no purps and very very capable, and must be curious as to why I seen conserve power as well, musta missed it last time around.

    Edit: Ill just open the build when I get home.
  5. Would truely like to see a build here. It seems you have the makeup of a decent one, aside from a couple things (I'd dump scorch), but you should still be getting in the 30's 40's in Res...try to read a guide about mids and such at least to post it up, because these powers aren't bad, but can be a problem if not slotted right youare definitiely not getting the potential out of the power/build.
  6. Nice, I do all Spine TF's regularly, successfully ran the ITF, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Respec, plus a KHTF and a Manti, there is one that has yet to be completed though that we really want. Tried the LGTF, and just didnt have the gusto to take down Honoree...just couldnt seem to get past his Unstop..next time were grabbin shivs and nukes and beating his *** lol...but still all scrappy tf's are fun stuff.

    Essentially, this means that there is one view per person posted. When a new thread is made there is 0 posts, and 1 view, the OP does not count as the first post in the tallys, but is considered the first post of the thread and every other post is a Reply to the topic, Hence 356 replies etc. out of 357 views this is why you see +1 view. I am not positive, but I believe it has to do with the coding to track views/posts. When the change was made, VB's tracker only tallied the views translated into the actual amount of posts per thread. Probably just simple coding would fix this, but its such a minimal thing to pick up on I cannot see why this would be done.
  8. Oh good, someone I can convince.

    Now before all the Fire lovers come in and get upset , I want to say first. I like FA< I was going to make it my next Spine and if I feel like using a slot I will, but for now, I will go with what I know. The Regen.

    The major consensus on a Regen is you are more than capable of holding your own at any given time. The low levels are fun, and powers pretty effective. with DP, Recon, QR, and FH all coming at level 10 and lower, you should have no problem in that department. And Impale, BU, Spine Burst, Lunge and Barbed Swipe (even though If your going to take this power, I would suggest speccing out of it later.) Definitliy not needed, and to long of animation time etc.

    Your quest from 1-10 is covered. Once you start to get in your teens and 20's You can get Intergration (absolutely love that its a toggle in this pool) and of course your bread and butter quills.

    20's and 30's well, you get your lifeline, Ripper. I strongly suggest taking this as soon as it is avail (26) You will see this to be a very useful toon. I didn't bother with the Rez because I will be honest, I just dont die enough to need it, and its a waste of a power on someone built to not die. IH and MoG are your last two that you should go for. To me I needed it all, and would not want it without.

    As for pools, of course I took CJ, SS, Tough, Weave (ugghhh kick) and I went with Body Mastery for FA. If you have another power to burn you can get the cool animation of Targeting Drone, but hey, it wasnt for me and I couldnt fit it in.

    If you are serious I could talk to you about it some more and get into more specifics with numbers, I dont have the build in front of me because I am at work but, I will post back any other questions you might have about it. As far as the build goes, well I have no problems helping out.

    Claws/WP

    The build that I am using right doesn't use Pshifters. I don't personally think I need it, but if it comes down the line where I think its giving me what I want based on monitoring combat logs and/or reviewing gameplay, then I may or may not put 2 of those in...Even with standard IO's I was getting just fine numbers with no drain. Custom setted should be no problem whatsoever. I am just not a huge fan of the chance to procs, and based on the markets reaction to them, others are not as well. Now the Numi Proc and the Miracle, now I could not see why you wouldnt find a place to shove those in there..The Price maybe? I dont know, I already had them and it was no question as too inserting them somewhere, but hey, thats just me.

    Edit: And sorry for the confusion, I am talking about a Spine/WP here. Sorry if off topic, but really didn't touch on the spine powers to much aside from quills.
  10. lol, understood, was just messin...but I have been so attached to Spines, I feel like its a sweet child o mine.

  13. Will be making one. First thing, I want a leg up on it so I can write an extensive review/guide. lol, probably not, but I already vowed to take it to 50. Hope it doesn't dissapoint.

    DM/WP build help

    Yes, it wasn't untill my Regen hit about 300/hp sec before it went into the blue. I pull off 250's all the time no prob..with my current build, I believe I am sitting at 1730%
  16. Possible

    Claws/WP

    What is just fine though? What is invested into your toon?

    Perhaps there is a few factors that one needs to discuss before one opines about what is good and isn't good for the toon. My WP uses 2.61 end/sec but I get 5.00 rec/sec and up to 5.56 with SoW..and to be honest, I didnt even really slot him specific for end redux...I may go back and change some things around that better fit what I am looking for. To be perfectly honest, with what I am running, I need this. All the PS toggles, plus CJ, SS, Tough, Weave, Quills, FA, without that extra kick from Stam then I would be SoL...not to mention I can shove a Pshifter in Stam for the proc and/or some more efficacys to get the regen bonus. Either way, I have 2 diff builds and I am kind of taking the best from each..will post the build later.
  17. Will try a Spines/elc for ***** and giggles. Might as well it will be my 5th Spiner.
  18. lol...Man, I'm pretty biased. With thousands of hours logged for two I ran to 50. I gotta say spines has only done me wrong, when I played them carelessly. absolutely tear through things..I like to call it the more "Multipurpose AT". Groups? Elite Bosses? Not a problem. Even though I could not kill Jack or Eochai, I have sat there for a good 10 minutes just beating on them, very capable of holding its own. Regen is first, WP second, even though It will trump the regen in overall performance. My Regen was the first in depth thought about putting a toon together and making it great.

    Oh and by the way, if you are mowing through full spawned 52's and 53's, you absolutely know playing invinc on solo is no problem whatsoever.
  19. A lot of good info here. Just want to drop some of my own opinions down.

    I have a custom Spine/Regen 50...completely setted. and a Spine/wp 50 being built as we speak.

    The Regen is my baby. It is completely full of action and is never a dull moment. The only times I ever feel like it is clicky is if I'm grabbing 16 L 52 Demons or any other counterpart. Loads of potential. I have my Dull Pain permaed so thats a constant 2409 hp at all times..Even with my Willpower done in its build its at 2311 hp at all times..Just some rough comparisons of the two. Plus DP doubles as over 1k hp gain if I dont need to DP, but its good to know its always there when I need it, and/or always keeping my regen right around 80 hp/sec....Is more than enough for taking on just about any group, this combined with other team members, as well as your own damage and a Quills, build, Throw Spines, Ripper, combo, your not beating on anyone for to long before they are staring at pavement. My regen right now where its set gets 4.50 end/sec gain...with a use of just under half of that...Only time I ever really ran into an issue with Regen is if im mashing over 5 minutes nonstop, which even then can be adjusted accordingly. The WP is at 5/sec but uses 2.61 /sec...both trade offs, and very worthy of adjusting. Now the most major difference between the two is of course survivalbility. On my Regen, (and I dont have exact numbers with me here) My Initial Heal is hittin for 650 every 15 seconds roughly, plus if you really want to shine them up you can get your IH out and hit 180/hp sec regen...more than enough time to get you out of a bad situation, or destroy them first. The WP boasts 130 with 10 RTTC's, but I have personally seen RTTC Stack up to 23 at a time, and on my Monitor I see what kind of regen rates I am getting based on what that says, if in fact its really giving me that or the hard cap that Mids states I do not know (if anyone has any insight please get back to me) But this in itself makes the WP very capable of tanking. Seen it done plenty of times. I tank and herd with my Regen as well. Both are very fun toons, my first action packed love is the Regen. I like the WP when I sometimes feel like I just want to do a little more. OH and lastly, the Def and Res on the WP with SoW and what not can throw your Res into low stone tank digits in the low 70's.and Def into the high teens low 20's. also kicking your Rec. to well over 5.5/sec Plus you get PSI and mez protect against things like confuse and terror...they both have trade offs, but when your attacking Famine Rider or something, its going to piss you off that you dont have that Terror Protect


    Sorry for the Jumbled read, but my two cents.
  20. Possible

    First!

    They aren't bad. Nor are they hard to adjust too, but hey, if anyone has a question. I been a mod on a VB Board for 4 years...shoot me a question.

    FYI. Bottom Left of page, Click hero in the drop down menu and select Villain to change between skins.
  21. Voted. Some of those options were yuck though lol...Seen a couple cool ones as well.
  22. Thanks, Ill Email or whatever in game when I'm on tonight. Cheers.

    PS. I wasn't sure if this "calender" was for specific things.
  23. Is it possible to get some of my All Spine Events listed in this, or is there a place I can post it other than just make a thread? (Will just make a thread if so) Most of Liberty's Spiners have or heard of these that I run and we are very successful in doing so. Now that I am back from hiatus I would like to start these back up. Please let me know. Thanks.
  24. lol, yea smells like spam!!!!
