Ahhhh okay, thanks~ also I ran into a snag. Because I am a hero, I couldn't take the gloom power. So I was debating on giving up the epic power pool, and instead taking my four extra slots and slotting two into build up for recticle and two into health (miracle heal/+recovery) revive kinda feels like a bit of a waste since I don't plan on dying often, but the power pool I have a choice of also seems like a waste. (I debated the accuracy from energy mastery, but it eats so much endurance, its not worth it)

Quote:I actually did read your guide a long while ago, its the basis on how I planned most of this build, you were the original person that sold me on regeneration~ I paired it with energy melee which is a bit weird (I believe you prefer kinetic) but all in all your guide was the corner stone for my planningTry out my /regen guide as well, the link is in my sig...
As for Claws' advice, you are listening to the right guy, everything he said is more or less about the same thing I would have told you...and I too have been playing regen characters for a LONG time.
If you have any other questions about Regen once you've read my guide...feel free to ask me as well.
Edit: also I never even knew about pounding slugfest, that seems much more useful than mako :O but after plugging it into mids, the regen is up, but the loss of life equals out to the same exact amount of regen, basically I am trading damage for endurance cost, which I am unsure which is better atm... -
Quote:Thank you so much~ that means a lot of praise to me also I used rectified reticle initially but then I swapped it out when I gave up the slot on build up (not sure how to get it back at the moment) also I am glad you pointed out the end reduction thing, I think I confused that with the recharge reduction, (its my noob mistake, I keep confusing the two of those) I'll see if I can cut something for Rectified again....also I didn't slot end/recharge on the doc wounds because I thought it wasn't global recharge, its only for that individual power?I disagree. He has those slotted fine. The only thing I might change is replacing the Heal/End with the End/Rech. He's getting 15% global recharge out of that slotting, which he can't replace if he wants to retain any of the S/L defense he's built up.
He has it slotted fine. I might consider replacing the 3 Mako's with Pounding Slugfest, but splitting the ATO is actually a good idea. He's getting plenty of recharge from other places, so the defense is helping him more than the recharge would be at this point.
He'll notice it. Having those Doctored Wounds in there is the difference between Perma Dull Pain and NOT Perma Dull Pain. The 4 slot heal bonus is useless in your click heals except for Dull Pain. You can slot the first 3 in other powers to get the regen and max HP bonuses if that's what you want out of them.
He's actually slotted pretty damn close to how I'd do it, and I've been playing Regen for a long time. I'd definitely add a couple slots to Build Up and put 2 Rectified Reticle in there on top of the recharge IO, and I'd put a couple of those inb Tactics as well, and replace the recharge IO with an End Reduction (no point to putting recharge reduction in a toggle power)
I'll tweak the build in Mids' when I get home today and post it for you. Trust me on this, your slotting of Doctored Wounds was the right choice. It's the set that the majority of Regen players slot unless they can afford full sets of Panacea.
Thanks again both your really giving me some great feedback/help -
well total focus is only a hold over mostly, because its not even in my main combo loop. My main combo loop is barrage>energy punch>bone smasher>WH/energy transfer. or to be more specific: barrage>energy punch>bone smasher>whirling hands>energy punch>barrage>bone smasher> energy transfer (it flows with almost no down time) I think I hesitated with numia cus I got doctor wounds a lot cheaper than numia, its really expensive to outfit that 5 times...let me see what happens if I switch the sets in mids~
edit: btw, energy melee is slow animation, so Energy transfer with haste is always up by the time its turn rolls around again after barrage/ep/bs another reason why I don't particularly bother with total focus. Although Numia is showing to be a lot stronger for regen after all.... -
Thank you for the welcome ^_^
it is a bit slow, but since I don't know anything else, it really doesn't bother me, also I like how it stuns groups easy, it keeps them stunned for awhile with no added enhancements~ the combo I use is barrage> energy punch>bone smash> WH/ET (which ever is needed more atm)
with your build it becomes barrage>bone smash> darkest night> WH/ET? Also why eradication on WH instead of Armageddon? (not that I'm complaining, that set is going to totally break me to get) -
I posted this originally in "Build workshop section" then saw that people thought that area was stupid and redundant and that I should post it under the archtype instead. So I am posting it here as well~

Hello all. I am new to City of heroes (been playing a little over a week) and I been really loving it. I started with Energy melee/regeneration build (and later found out how much people dislike that) but I still really love it. I been playing with mids since I discovered it, and been trying out all sorts of builds. After lots of work, I came up with this one. However I am not experienced enough to know how good this build is, so I thought I would submit it for critique. Anyone have useful pointers/insight on what I should do/change? (to be honest, I tried a few builds, and this is working the best by far so far, even though its not complete yet...think the other builds are only effective when I hit level 50...)
Edit: btw, I don't like "inflated" bonuses people sometimes post in builds, so I turned off some things even if I can perma them (like dull pain) if you want to see the max stats, you need to toggle them on (hasten, dull pain, spiritual radial paragon, etc.)
