    That I did not know, and sounds actually pretty interesting.

    Grant Cover is skippable if you aren't fighting enemies with defense debuff or large groups using defense debuffing powers. I'd really try to keep Grant Cover.

    I think what makes the Villain PPP so good is the inclusion of Web Envelope which is a targeted AOE immob -- it just synergizes so well with Rain of Fire, that taking the Sleep / Frozen Armor route seems like you're missing out (IMHO).
    The only mez that acrobatics saves you from is knock back and knock up which can all be cured by knock back protection enhancements. In the build I posted up has 8 points of knock back protection which is enough for about 99% of this game. It saves you a power pick as well.

    YMMV on Inferno, like I said I don't see a need for it when I can keep spamming the main AoE attacks.
    See there is a huge difference between resistance as your primary source of damage mitigation and regeneration as your source. My example, a regeneration scrapper uses passive regeneration and click heals as its primary source. Losing 30% regeneration won't impact its survivability will as much as losing 30% defense. There comes a point where passive regeneration won't do as much for you as defense or resistances. The only way regeneration alone will save your hide is when you have tons of it, like 1500% regeneration. The disparity between 250% total passive regeneration and 200% is almost negligible.

    Yes but SR also gets enough DDR to effectively eliminate any defense debuff.

    Max HP = 2070

    My attack chain will be MG, Smite, SL, Smite. I can also go SL, Smite if I need the xtra healing.

    Tell if I am wrong. Based on AV soloing after firing SD and saturating AAO on just 1 target, then for the next 30 seconds I am averaging 375 dam/sec. I figure that MG, Smite, SL, Smite is good for 1500 total dam. I get that in 4 sec and can sustain it for 30 sec. Barring things like misses and whatnot, am I in the ballpark?

    I am also not sure how to correctly calculate endurance use. I think I will be behind but not sure. Can anyone tell me if this is sustainable with my endurance?

    Do I have any other glaring holes or things that need to be address?

    Thanks to all the respond.

    Happy Hunting,

    Aaron

    P.S. I take the Gaussians proc out just to see the damage numbers correctly. Put it back in to verify the defense numbers.
    You'd be better slotting for 45% defense to all positions. Quick answer DPS doesn't work that way, it is beyond my knowledge of this game, a good measure is to go fight a Rikti pylon and record the time and use the equation posted in the pylon soloing thread.

    Here is a quick fix to that, you lose 15% recharge but you gain soft capped defense.

    I know -recharge would be more helpful, but I'd still like something.
    I'd like to have both considering those are both how regeneration primarily deals with damage mitigation. I made a thread a while back ago about regeneration needing both recharge and regeneration debuff and slew of people starting making a huge stink about how it doesn't need that.

    The problem that I have with this build is that there isn't Fire Blast or Inferno. Fire Blast is key to a blasters survival when they're mezzed, Inferno I love, but it is skippable of if you have to but with DP you should be able to keep running after you nuke. Also I'm not sure if having more passive regeneration is good considering you already get a metric ton of it with DP, it seems a little redundant doesn't it? Wouldn't you be better off taking those slots and putting them else where?

    *Skipping the pure Damage enhancement
    What kind of recharge requirements do you need for that chain?
  13. Santorican
    Phalanx Fighting grants you 3.75% defense to all positions and a subsiquent amount of defense with up to 3 allies in melee range. Grant Cover gives your allies defense up to a certain range while also granting you defense debuff resistance(DDR). You'll want as much DDR for your build as possible. The cap is 95% percent.

    Yes I always put all enhancements at L30 because the difference between L50 enhancements and L30 isn't all that much offering you soft capped defenses, most or all of your recharge bonuses to L27.

    Why would you slot Apocalypse in Blaze? Flairs recharges faster making it better suited for the Apocalypse proc. They both have the exact cast time so I still don't see why Blaze is better suited for the Apocalypse set.

    That's how I do it, and it takes me no more than an hour of total play time, of course spread over 2 days.
    I've tried this, got three tip missions, then went back for an hour and didn't get any. Is that a bug?

It's the only one I can really think of, and I'm pretty sure every other set has seen more love since then, but it's unfair to say that the devs have simply left */Regen fallow when they haven't.
    I did forget about the MoG change, and you are right about me being wrong, but also like you pointed out other sets have seen a lot more change than regeneration has and that makes me sad panda.

    I guess but that still doesn't mean it should be neglected, almost every scrapper secondary has been buffed/changed since their original incarnations, Regeneration however has been castrated and to my knowledge hasn't buffed to compensate for its lackings.

    Asking is good! Asking questions means you learn, and that is always good, never be afraid to ask questions lol. Are you saying that you don't want to rely on purple inspirations or purple(superior) enhancements?

    My build is expensive, I will not lie lol. My build has soft capped defenses using only set bonuses while focusing on recharge, and recovery. In its current incarnation it is capable of soloing just about every Arch Villain out there as well as soloing a rikti pylon in around 5 mins.

    True but once you know how to use the market to your advantage price is merely a formality. It might take you a month or two more but the end result would be a character that is superior in just about every aspect.

    That is a good point, and makes me wish BaBs would figure out a way around that issue. I can't imagine how a Katana or Claws/Shield character. Both would probably easily smash the 300dps mark.

    I'm wanting to make a new scrapper and decided on Regen since I already have a Willpower. After playing around with it in Mid's Designer, I'm seeing that they both have the same regeneration. This is with just 50 IOs, not sets. Am I missing something? Willpower would have even higher regeneration with RttC being surrounded by mobs, and has defense, resists, and -regen defense.

    I'm not factoring in Instant Healing, since it's not up all the time. Is that really all Regen has going for it, waiting for IH to be up? Again, I'm not whining or trying to start a fight, I'm just confused.
    In PvP no, in PvE I'd say they're even until you get into large groups because then Will Power will just pull ahead.

You might want to hold off on any major changes or expensive purchases until we see how the incarnate system is going to shake out, unless you are absolutely dissatisfied with your blaster and must change it now. Capping defense for blasters can sometimes be a game of inches, and the incarnate slots have the potential to give us a mile.
    Very true, but I'd like to play this character in some low level TFs before I20 comes out lol. So I'd like to probably publish this build soon.
