The first thing you have to consider is if you want to solo AVs with or without insps. Regen is heavily recharge focused and MA benefits from recharge bonuses as well, so if you go with insps (mostly lucks here) you can afford a very high recharge build for the best DPS chain and great survivability having these regen clicks up so often on top of high defense thanks to insps.
If you'd rather do it without insps, you'll have to go for as much defense as possible. Positional is better in my opinion.
Well If I could get advice for both with and without insp I would appreciate it. I don't really know which is the way to go. I just love the challenge of farming mobs that are fully spawned on other toons and figured AV Killing would be as much or more fun.
Both are valid ways to go.
You'd get much better performance with insps on a regen build designed with insps in mind, but you (probably) won't be able to take on AVs without insps on such a build.
However, on a build designed without insps in consideration, you'll be able to solo AVs with or without insps. The downside being your peak performance won't be as high as the first build.
Many scrappers seem to prefer the second choice. I'm not big on it myself, at least not for every combo, as sometimes I feel the tradeoffs are too big ; but, you'd probably get more advice if you choose that path.
As for MA/Regen, I've crunched the numbers and am happy with how it looks on a spreadsheet but I haven't any real ingame experience with it so it's best to let the experts speak.
Well I have no AV experience, I just started seeing people talking about it on forums and thought.........hey sounds fun.
So I dont really know how I would decide between insp and no insp. I just want to maximize my build to handle it as well as possible so I can start my own AV list.
1) it's not the at all, any of the optimal power set's for AV soloing, but it can be done.
2) for basic advice on it, i'd suggest you read a few of the back log articles in the City Scoop written by TopDoc ... all the basic info logic and data is in there.
3) i'll leave that for someone else, MA isn't my area.
Hey everybody,
I play a MA/Regen on Virtue named Killer Mike. I originally made him for Zone PVP/ Arena Duels, and he works great for it, but I am now thinking about making his second build for AV Killing. Problem is I have zero experience with AV killing. So I am looking for any advice you guys can give me. The more the better. Here is what I am looking for:
1) is MA/Regen a feasable set for AVs (or should I make a seperate toon for that)
2) general AV soloing advice
3) example builds if possible
I am not worried about inf. I can easily make it, so just help me with the best possible build.
Thanks in advance!
