There's a big thread already about DM/regen.
No, you can't have perma-hasten, you'll get a 45 second gap in Hasten coverage with 3 SOs.
Dull Pain should be a must have anyway, it means you have more hit points, so you regen faster.
Reconstruction is a good buy, 2-slotted for rec red it can be fired about once every 35 seconds.
IH is now a clicky and MoG now has an insane recharge time. Doesn't make either of them useless, just means you can't be perma-IH or perma-MoG.
Integration is now your best regen power, you need to at least 3-slot it for heal.
You'll probably find your endurance management is pretty good. They reduced all the endurance costs by 13% and my DM/regen (without Stamina) doesn't really have any trouble.
You can get a pretty good attack chain by taking Air Superiority and using that to fill in the gaps. You need to take Hasten (and suffer the gap) or two slot your attacks with rec red, which cuts damage output. Your choice.
Disclaimer: The above may be humerous, or at least may be an attempt at humour. Try reading it that way.
Posts are OOC unless noted to be IC, or in an IC thread.
Doh! somehow missed that thread, apologies.
Thanks for the advice, anyway.
This was also a very helpful guide.

Could do that if you use a late respec or are happy with just PvE. 1x Acc 3x Dmg 2x RecRed. Leave out hasten but definitly take focused accuracy at 41. The other thing is, and this I've tested, if you go with a longer attack chain, you can live with 1x recred in each attack and still drop hasten. In this case I went with AS (see above), shadow punch, smite, maul, ToF -> AS... etc, I found this worked wonders with pretty much anything apart from bosses, only problem I had was this build also shed stamina and I found with no end reds in my attacks I ran out of end too quickly, might try it again if I ever get another respec to play with.
A quick bit of history: I played the US beta and then with an import copy of COH played on the US servers when the game started. Left the game to become a WOW addict and have recently returned, bought COV and have just levelled my Brute villain up to 30.
I transferred a couple of my old heroes over from the US servers, one being my DM/regen scrapper, currently lvl 23. I don't think she's been played since ish 3/4 and i'm conscious with ED and changes to the regen line, that some of my old power choices might not be much cop any more.
Can anyone give me a guide to the most important things to pick up in a respec?
Seems like Dull Pain is a necessity now...and can i still run anything like perma-hasten with only 3 recharges?
