The base value for controllers is 500% regen. For comparison, scrapper Instant Healing is 800%. However, because a large part of IH is unenhancable, 3-slotted for heailng RA is around 1000%, while IH is 900%. Which means it's pretty damn powerful.
I'd rather have Ragen Aura than Recovery Aura on all but one of my characters (and that one is a villain so it matters not)
It is VERY nice

On my defender when I was leveling up I didnt take RA I enjoyed healing and my buffs (fort + AB) covered harder situations but I can imagine Regen Aura being very very useful on a controller as you can RA then concentrate on controlling stuff without stopping to heal

Thanks for the comeback, folks.
if u enjoy PvP hit powerboost and regen aura and as long as you dont do anything really stupid ur pretty much immortal for the duration of RA
So favourable slotting on Regeneration Aura is the usual 3 recharge/3 heal, right?
Also got me wondering about my current slotting for Recovery Aura, as I just came across a post by Archy I think,

Recovery Aura doesn't really need end mods in PvE...they're nice...but not needed.

This prompted some further digging in the Defender boards and read quite a few posts (including the debateful Pure Empath thread) and the general consensus seems to be that Recovery Aura is fine with just 3 recharge for PvE. Is this still the current line of thought?

Yes.
Some heavy endusers may go over it but for the most part its absolutely fine.

Hey. Ok, so, with the 3rd Anniversary freespecs approaching fast, I'm using up existing ones to make some small changes and, on this particular char, to save some inf switching to lvl40 SOs at the same time.
He's lvl37 earth/empathy and before you all cringe in horror....I know that's a Controller set and this is the Defender board, but my question is specific to the Empathy power Regeneration Aura.
I'm respeccing out Animated Stone (a sad yet necessary and long overdue decision) and the replacement is a toss-up between Stone Prison (good for immob on AVs and tricky Bosses etc) or Regeneration Aura. My build is very tight but also efficient and while first and foremost I am a controller I do love my empath role in large teams. I've sometimes heard that Regeneration Aura isn't so good, so my question to you oh great Defenders:
Is Regeneration Aura a worth while investment, particularly at higher lvls when healing (as I understand it) isn't always a predominant requirement, and considering any reduction in healing power on Controllers?
Thanks
