It is very possible to solo arch villains on a fire/regeneration. I've done it on mine, I haven't been able to kill all of the Praetorians, namely Shadow Hunter, Maurader, and Diablox or however you spell her name. But the others I haven't had any problem with, the easiest so far has been Nightstar.
You'll need a build that focuses on defense and high recharge.

Ok, so I should focus on hover, combat jumping, bob and weave, maneuvers, anything else?
Weave, Combat Jumping, and sets that provide positional defense is what you'll aim for.
What sets are those? I'm working on Mids right now (just got it a few days ago and still trying to figure out what I'm doing) but I can't seem to get my defense above 12%.
*Edit* Ok, toyed with Mid's a little more and I think I've figured it out, but that brings up another question As a scrapper shouldn't I focus on type defense (smashing/lethal) as opposed to positional? What defense % should I try to get to, 25%, 35%, 45% and is it possible without making my scrap into a tank?
Thanks for the assist guys, I appreciate the input. Up until now I just came into the city to bust bad guys but now that I have a couple of 50's I guess it's time to take it to the next level.
I want to solo AV's with a fire/ regen scrapper but is it possible? Has anyone done this already? How much did you have to spend to get prepared?
