DM/regen scrapper
Great combo of sets first off. The main issue with it is having a healthy attack chain, many peeps don't take Siphon Life, Dark consumption or taunt, theres the build up in there you need to take too (Soul Drain), and after all that there ain't many left in the set. You don't need to have many -recharge debuffs before you are short of attacks so hasten is usfull for those times. Its not a bad idea to pick up another attack from pools or something to cover this. One major point is shadow maul, its a great attack but the animation time is very long, and you can't heal during that time, so never use it at low health or as an opening attack as you take an alpha strike, sands of mu is the same so you would double the danger almost by havin both, you'd just need to take care with it. On the DM side I took everything except dark con and taunt, and the regen side everything but revive (yes MoG is in late on in the build, is fun in PvE and I have used it with good results to break stale mates in 1 on 1 PvP fights). I gotta run to work now but when I get home I'll post a build for you
I only took, Smite, Shadow Maul, Midnight Grasp and Soul drain...
Added Air Sup, Boxing, energy torrent
Awesome attack chain kicks butt all the time
Shadow Punch, Smite and Shadow Maul makes an excellent attack chain and Shadow Punch recharges fast enough to replace brawl in early attack chains.
Later on you get Siphon Life, an attack that damages the bad guy, debuffs his accuracy and heals you. What's not to like about that?
Regen keeps your stamina going well enough even without the fitness pool until you can comfortably fit it in.
I would recommend Air Superiority to fill out the attack chain. AS is fantastic to overcome the long animation in Shadow Maul while the bad guy is flat on his back too.
All in all, an excellent choice for primary and secondary. Good luck with your scrapper.

Am so glad I found this thread cause its answered a lot of questions. I've actualy been place saving a DM/Regen for ages as my next toon to run, now with the Halloween events i've started running him to get the badges + just have some low lvl fun.
Just a thought tho, in the 'ur best ever scrapper moment' thread Cynic said something about 'proving why DM/Regen Scrappers need the Presence power pool' why is this Cyn?
Also with Regen, wats the effect of taking Fitness, is it redundant? or does it still work + make u regenerate really really fast?
Thx for this though guys, always good to hear voices of experience
I thought about rolling a dm/regen scrapper, so I'd like to know the cons and pros of them. To mention, I will be getting the sands of mu temp power as a veteran reward so I might not need all the attacks. Not sure about it though
So, cons, pros and a build please!
