Reviewing bad builds... Seeing them always makes me cringe.

First things first, your slotting of the */Regen powers:

The 4 piece set bonus for Numina is only going to benefit Dull Pain's heal. It will do nothing for Reconstruction, so you're better off not even bothering with it. Also, why did you not put the Numina proc into FH when you put it into Health? You'll get more replacing that Heal/End/Rech with the proc if you're aiming for max regen.

That is, by far, the strangest slotting I've ever seen for Quick Recovery, especially since it seems like you're focusing on +recov set bonuses when you're running Claws/Regen, which is one of the most endurance sustainable builds already. You also didn't use the Performance Shifter set, which is pretty much the best thing you can put into either QR or Stamina thanks to the proc. You're better off aiming for either 3 slots (Perf Shifter proc, Perf Shifter EndMod, level 50 common End Mod) or 4 slots (Perf Shifter proc, EndMod, End/Acc, End/Rech). I'd probably go with the 3 slot simply because you don't really need that extra .16 end/sec because you're already running massive overkill on your blue bar.

Dull Pain doesn't need that 6th Doctored Wounds slot. Get rid of either the end/rech or the heal/end. That 6 piece set bonus isn't even close to worth it.

Putting the Regen Tissue proc in IH is rather stupid. You're can't use it once every 2 minutes because it's taking 3 and a half minutes to recharge already. You should only put the heal IO procs into powers you plan on being on at all times because otherwise you won't be getting as much from them as you could. Just remove that last slot from IH.

As FunStuff already said, why don't you have MoG?!?! MoG is friggin' gold. It's a possible LotG +rech slot and has incredibly light slotting requirements. Either give it LotG +rech, LotG def/rech, and 2 common rech IOs or 3 common rech IOs. MoG isn't an optional power, like tier 9s for other sets. The only excuse for not having MoG on a */regen is that you're not level 38 yet.

Also, Revive is bad. Largely pointless and an absolutely horrible place to put that proc. Even if you're dieing once every 2 minutes, you're still not going to have the benefit of that proc at all times because it's still not recharging fast enough. If I see more slotting like that in future builds, I'mma have to smack you upside the head even harder than I am now...

Moving on to Claws/*:

No Slash is bad. Slash is where you get your Achilles' Heel proc chance which is where you get a nice little buff to your DPS. You definitely want to take it and give it 5 piece Crushing Impact and the AH proc. It'll fulfill one third of your three part attack string o' doom (FU>Focus>Slash>Strike). I'm also curious as to whether you were even planning on an attack string. Eviscerate isn't really good for an attack string at all.

It looks like you were trying to stick as many purple IOs into that build as possible without consideration for how effective they would be. The 6th piece of the IO sets are largely useless. I wouldn't bother with any of them. Remove either the Dam or the Dam/Rech (for Ragnarok, remove that redundant proc; Shockwave already does KB) depending on your recharge needs and save yourself the money and slot.

Pool powers:

Why do you randomly have a purple proc in Brawl? You might as well not even slot it if you're going to do that and save yourself the 20 mill.

Hasten is vastly overslotted. You could use those three slots and buy yourself another 20% +rech which will be infinitely more useful. 3 slots is all it needs. For Super Speed, why are you putting that proc there? You'd be better off going for a +move IO and putting the stealth IO into Sprint so that you can actually control the stealth level a bit more. BotZ three set would be optimal though because your build is sorely lacking in actual damage mitigation.

Stamina is vastly overslotted as well. Give it the same treatment as I prescribed for Quick Recovery. Health should probably get that Regen Tissue unique since it provides more +regen than any other individual IO in Health will.

This build should get you much more mileage for pretty much the same cost. It's got only 23% less +regen but is actually packing a respectable amount of positional defense (a trait that you have completely ignored) and a good deal more +rech. The open slot in Resilience is for the 3% +def IO. If that's a bit too rich for your blood, you'll probably want to move that slot out of Resilience and into Focus or Shockwave for another proc or put it into Integration so that you can use this alternate slotting (Numina proc, Numina Heal, Miracle Heal, Miracle Heal/End).

Try posting your build and possibly a screen shot of your build in game (or the combat monitor for your defense) for us to see. I don't think I've seen any +def discrepancies between Mids' and in game that you haven't already ruled out.

You're expecting a power set that would only be effective against EBs and AVs. Or were you expecting power denial to actually do something to the guys that are firing guns or using advanced technology against you?

The problem with denial based powers is that they're either universally specific or universally overpowered. A vast majority of the time, the denial suppresses the specific story mechanic that a character uses to access his/her powers. Magical suppression generally does nothing to technology. Tech suppression of mutant powers generally does nothing to other technological, magical or scientific powers because it only inhibits the mutation. It would be hard to explain suppression of natural powers either way. Those that do inhibit all powers regardless of their source, I can guarantee that the character is intended to be a one shot character placed there specifically for the story. Otherwise, it would just be an issue of that character walking around going "no one has powers anymore because I say so".

As to why it wouldn't work in game, while the engine can handle removal/denial of specific powers (Nectanebo's Curse Breaker, Dimensional Grounding Ray) those powers are explicitly specific. In order to remove a power at random, each activation of the power would have to generate a new list of the powers affecting the character and then randomly pick from the list and mechanically deny access/remove it (which I'm not sure is entirely possible on characters or generic NPCs without some very hefty recoding of everything).

It's also hard to imagine an entire power set based around that. It's a single gimmick (and one that would be inordinately hard to incorporate unless a mechanic was designed from the beginning) not a full suite of powers. I guess you could feasibly say that there is an AoE and an ST version. Possibly another ST version that lasts longer than the basic one. Still, it would be like building a set around -regen: it's a powerful effect against specific targets (re: EB/AV/GMs), but against pretty much anything else you're fighting (re: anything not one of those), it's largely useless.

Because */WP is already packing so much +regen, an extra 25% (or even 48.75%) isn't going to be particularly noticeable. You're better off saving it for the Elec/Elec Scrap (or any other Scrap that isn't focused heavily on damage recovery) because the small amount of +regen will contribute more comparative survivability for a set that already has substantial damage mitigation.

Couldn't find my discourse on calculating recharge across changing +rech conditions, so I'll just explain it again.

As I said in my previous post, current recharge is based upon a percentage. If the power at the specific time had a recharge time of 15 seconds and you were 5 seconds into it, it would be 33% recharged. The game wouldn't care if the recharge time suddenly changed to 5 seconds or 300 seconds. It would still consider the power to be 33% recharged. Because of this, long recharge powers, such as Hasten and Dull Pain, are better off calculating based upon average Hasten +rech contribution rather than having separate calculations specifically for the two conditions of Hasten up and Hasten down.

The way you calculate is quite simple: at the time of the +rech conditional change (re: you get more +rech or lost any +rech), you calculate the percent of the recharge time (for the "original" recharge time) that the power has remaining and then convert it so that it's the same percentage of the "new" recharge time. Repeat this as often as the +rech condition changes.

I'll show you how to do this with Hasten rather easily. Assume Hasten has 95% +rech slotting. This means that, upon activation, it has a 165% +rech for a "base" recharge time of 169.8 seconds. The only +rech condition change is when the 70% +rech buff from Hasten fades after 120 seconds. At this point, Hasten has 49.8 seconds remaining until it is recharged, or 70.67% recharged. The new "base" recharge time is going to be 230.78 seconds. It is still 70.67% recharged, so the 49.8 seconds that were required while Hasten was active becomes 67.69 seconds. Add that time to the 120 second duration of Hasten and you get a total "real" recharge time of 187.69 seconds.

For situations in which you've got multiple +rech conditions changing throughout, you just repeat the percent conversion steps until you've accounted for each of the changes in turn.

Now, to determine the average +rech contribution, all we have to do is divide the duration by the total recharge plus the animation time of the power (120/(187.69 + 1 ) = .635) and then multiply it times the actual effect of the power (.635 * 70% +rech = 44.45% +rech). So then you'd be able to assume 44.45% +rech from Hasten, assuming no other +rech values (which would simply increase the +rech contribution).

Because of this, it's quite possible to get perma-DP without ever having perma-Hasten. I know this for a fact because I've got perma-DP on my DM/Regen and an 8 second downtime on Hasten.
