Regen, the Defense in parry will really help you take the damage.

Or if you want something new to you, Willpower is a cool choice. It's got a mixture of resistance, defense, and lots of regeneration and recovery. It's not clicky or reactive like Regen but it's a very very tough secondary. Good if you find yourself liking the fire and forget playstyle. Goes well with katana.
Well, I'm a big fan of Katana/Regen, but Katana/Super Reflexes has a lot going for it. In the early portions of the game, before Super Reflexes has had a chance to bloom, Divine Avalanche will smooth out all the rough spots. And in the late game, you can drop it in favor of hitting the very high DPS that Katana is capable of.
Frankly, the biggest difference might be how the sets FEEL. Katana/Regen is a very active set with a lot of micromanagement, at least when the going gets tough. Katana/Super Reflexes would be a lot more toggle up and go.

/Regen - A lot of self heals
/SR - Toggle up and prepared to barely get hit
/WP - This is awesome

Maybe I'm expecting too much... But at what level does SR start to shine?

I'd say by the 20s it's playable, and it starts getting good in the 30s. That's been my experience, anyway.

Last time I played was 2006. I think I'm set on KAT as my primary, which of those two secondaries would work well with KAT for someone like me who last played 3 years ago and is trying to get back into the game?
Thanks
