spines/regen is an awesome set, it just feels a little tarnished to me now for some reason.

I think you are referring to supression, and all travel powers suffer from it in the same way.
It probably seemed shorter than usual to you because the animation time of impale reduces the apparent suppressed period afterwards.

Teleport isnt suppressed 
As to spines/regens, I dont consider that they are overpowered. .
Problem is a.) sirens call b.) the difference in numbers. For some people spines/regens suddenly become overpowered when they overpower the villains in sirens 10-5. Nobody seems to look at the amounts of players there.. Yet I have seen sirens being controlled by villains and heroes alike. Its not the powersets that twist the equation. The player numbers on either side in sirens fluctuate a lot.
Although I would consider it more fun if hero archetypes were more varied in sirens call. Regen is easy mode, so what? That doesnt make it bad. Its a player choice. Im not making a spines/regen, but I have no qualms with people playing them.
TBH I cant remember when I have seen a spines/regen in the arena last time.. Lots of other primaries though.

Personally, I rarely PvP in Sirens' at all these days. Warburg or RV seem to be much more of an interesting playing field, and usually, a somewhat better atmosphere..

Hmm.. there is PVP action in those places? Everytime I have checked they have been deserted except RV grinders (which are always heroes so I cant attack them). What server are you on?

thats a bit like comparing a scrapper fighting a defender, fire/kin shud never lose to a /regen and unless the scrapper is very good the troller shud usually win, i've pwnd countless regens including chives, only one managed to finish a 0-0 draw with columna

not really there are many sets that a regen cannot and should not win against, spines has no stuns so you need no BFs and you cannot stack damage enough to beat kins heal + greens before holds stack over mez and BFs. Its no where near unbeatable just in zonal its harder to lock down the set and apply the proceedures to finish them off, /thermals /ice, kin, the list has many more. But when 50% of the heroes in sirens are on spines/regen scrappers I see little point in playing mine.

Defiant. Unfortunately like I said, it's not on as many occasions as I'd like to. I'm much more of an infrequent PvP'er than I'd like to be. Yes, those zones are shamefully underused for PvP .
But, the times I have played in PvP action there it has been mostly a lot better, more fun and more rewarding than Sirens, even with getting my butt handed to me or bounced around every corner on a lot of occasions 
.
Perhaps, I tend to think, hand in hand with FoTM builds there are just too many people with an easy ride and an unfortunate attitude on perma-residency in Sirens' unfortunately putting a fair few players off PvP entirely. Hardly suprising the higher zones are left barren if Sirens is for the majority an indicator of how PvP is doomed to be .
Last time I wandered past Sirens the other week, I stuck my nose in and found several heroes pounding and beratting a couple of lone villains. Before long we brought some villains into the zone, teamed up and had an even number battle across the zone, and to the villains merit, fought back to Talos Square and beyond. Sadly, it wasn't long before the hero group in residence decided a battle with even number constitues "ganking" and all logged out of the zone in short order. Funny thing is, it was some of the more "powerful" Scrapper builds that went first. Rattles and prams I guess.
But yeah, tbh I could concur that Spines/Regen does really well in Sirens, just a shame hardly anyone wants to play theirs outside that and try a few other things than just Impale on repeat. I've been having more fun and success playing crowd control on my teams with my taunty, fear powers .
Actually, without wanting to derail any further, the best PvP I ever had was when me, and a bunch of sg mates rolled out our squishies and played squishy only tag teams in the arena. Squishy tag teams are soooo much fun. Incredibly fast paced, and you're forced to surrender any ego you have about faceplanting, 'cos with a squishy it's written in stone, so you may as well go all out & just try to rack up bigger scores than the other team. Most of the time we were in hysterics .

IMHO fire/ff does better than fire/kin against a spines/regen. I've never fought chives, so I can't say, but I also fought columna and he couldnt beat me, as i was lucky enough to ko him twice, altho i dont mean by that im as good in pvp as him
All Spines should burn eternally in hell being constantly -flyed and immobilized while trying to use their cheap tactics on 1000 Energy/Rad corrupters.
I [b] HATE [b] SPINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, bet it's not personal :P
i think i know what the major unbalancing issue is with spines regen or spines anything. And its the snipe range lunge.
I do personally think either keep its imobilise and reduce its range or keep its range and remove its imobilise.
why not range, immobilise hold and -jump on it? :-s
