Yeah see thats a great reason to go regen right there man!!
When I started the game, the concept of my character made it seem like he should start out as a viking warrior(at the time I wanted archer but they didn't have it) so I made him a non armor form to start out and he was broadsword/invuln because that what I envisioned him as in my concept.
Of course it all got wiped when I realized he couldn't have elec powers as a tank or scrapper and I went with the armored blaster instead.
I made Gideon broadsword regen because it fit the concept of Gideon he is immortal and has regenerative powers. I only wish they had powers like Ghost riders penance Stare sence gIdeon has a similar power called the Redeemers' touch.
