have they confirmed any updates to powers yet with issue 15? or maybe even new powers? :O

i am just asking since i think a few changes should be made to some powes

regenration should be slightly improved, maybe even change a few of its powers and maybe change one of the actual powers!

The only things that have been hinted at are two new powersets in the Going Rogue edition: dual pistols and demon summoning. These two only by the fact that the two new signature characters have these powersets.

However, I15 does not appear to have any new powers, and I doubt that they are going to be modifying a lot of powers, due to the shortened beta time period.

Could you give us a little more detail on what you think is wrong with Regen?

As far as I knew, it was still a top performing set.

Maybe one of us here could help you squeeze some more performance out of Regen.


New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)

Well, we have been told that Dual Pistols and Demon summoning is coming to players via Positron. People are assuming we will have them when the new characters go live.

i'm pretty sure that i saw a confirmation on Dominator damage being boosted in i15, the base damage should be going up considerably.


Oh yeah, that was the time that girl got her whatchamacallit stuck in that guys dooblickitz and then what his name did that thing with the lizards and it cleared right up.

All Positron was to hint on what 2 new powers sets would be. We have added verification from the new Cinematic Trailer and the news release. We don't have any idea as to the time frame when we will have the new powers sets.

I'd be happy with a bit more Proliferation...

Energy Aura,Ninjitsu, and/or electric armor to scrappers/tanks would be nice. Fire Blast to Defenders. I'm sure a few others.

That's what I said (and just bolded!)

I highly doubt Regeneration will be seeing any changes for a long time. It is performing better currently than it had for quite a while. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with it that would require or even suggest a change.

Out of curiosity, what would you like changed about it? Since you seem to be pretty new, it is probably something that was already changed at least once since the set was originally created.

some lvl 50 /regen players i know cannot even solo an EB
its that, they use the clickes very often since they cant take a lot of damage, and your resistance and defence relies on set io bonuses and pool powers, which isnt easy

so how can a /regen even solo an av if it cannot solo an eb
the other secondaries are a lot more efficient at it

Realistically you aren't supposed to solo an AV. They are meant to be fought with a team.

As for EBs, some depending on their powers can be soloed by certain builds. It all depends what your build is and what attacks they have.

Characters aren't supposed to be able to solo an AV. Failure to do so does not make the set broken.

However, if a /Regen character can't solo an EB, I'd say that's more player skill than anything else, because I've soloed EBs on Blasters before. A /Regen scrapper should have no problem.

However, they do have two click heals and a click +regen power. If you think that a /Regen character needing to use those makes the Regen weaker, that's fine. But if they need to use powers that are part of the set to solo an EB, then that's kinda the point.

Elite Bosses are lower ranked than Archvillains, tikiz, so if they can't solo AVs, I wouldn't be worried about it.

Some EBs are tougher than others. Nosferatu seems to be a particularly troublesome EB.

Catwhoorg has soloed a lot of AVs with /regen.

Regen is one of the more popular secondary sets for scrappers. My own limited experience (level 35) shows it to be pretty good.

Given a lot of regen defenses are long-cycle click powers, +Recharge is very useful. Hasten, global set recharge bonuses, friendly kinetics giving Speed Boost, and lotsa Recharge Reduction enhancements in the power themselves, all add to those clicks powers coming up sooner.

And, Moment of Glory, (Tier 9) was recently revamped, and my level 50 friends like it more now.

Spike damage can be the bane of a Regen, but it really seems to me that the problem is with the players, and not the set (PEBKAC). At lower levels, I can solo EBs with my Regens (I don't have any in the 30's yet). I haven't had a chance to try "new" Moment of Glory to determine if it is best used when you are in trouble, or before charging into battle. Maybe some of the more experienced Regen'ers can shed more light on what the level 50s you know are doing wrong.

It still bemuses me that there are players out there who somehow feel that having to click on powers in a scrapper's secondary is somehow "weak" or else so time-consuming (those who moan that /regen is so "clicky").

OP, other scrapper secondaries who seem to be more "efficient " are still using their secondaries, albeit as toggles or as auto-powers. Activation methods being different doesn't mean "inefficient".

Also, as others have noted, your position is based on "some players" which tends to a conclusion that the perceived difference is PEBKAC.

/em soapbox

People who moan 'n' groan that /Regen is too "clicky" - sheesh, folks, havent you ever played any other AT where *all* the secondary is "clicky"? Is a /Fire Blaster too "clicky" because you have to click to activate Ring of Fire, Fire Sword, Greater Fire Sword Circle and the rest of the powers?

end em/soapbox.
