New player could use some advice

Hi all, I've been finding the scrapper forum very informative but as I've only just started and now have a lvl 17 DB/regen scrapper I still feel very lost!

Any guides/tips/builds on my chosen hero would be greatly appreciated

best tip for any Regen is build for RECHARGE, that means Hasten from the speed pool is a must

Not to be snarky, but Id read all the patch notes. From like Issue 6 on.

Ed (enhancement diversication(?)) was issue 6 for us. Basically it means more than 3 of any type of enhancement and they start to lose their value. So only 3 damage in an attack. Or 3 defense in an armor.

To answer you question specifically on Hasten. 3 recharge reductions and thats it.

Theres been sooo many changes to the game that asking for tips could have people writing PAGES of info for you.

Any specific questions you have can be answered. And the scrapper forum is a great place for info. Most of the people that post on this forum I believe are the most knowledgable in all the game. And the most level-headed.

DB/Regen is probablly one of the most active play-style builds there is,... not only do you have the click heals of Recon, DP and IH, plus MoG,... but you also have the combo system of DB to work with as well...

with regen you want your clicks rechargeing as fast as possible, which is why Hasten should be the first pool power choice... but with Regen you also have the smoothest start with QR and FH removeing most any downtime, stacking fitness for health and stam and you dont have to worry about much of any endurance issues

for your attacks the standard SO building is 2Acc and 3 Dam and 1 other built to flavor as needed... which will work fine for all attacks cept your build-up type which is Blinding Feign(sp?) this you want to more focus on Acc and Rech since you'll want this buff up as much as possible (preferablly stacked more then once upon itself)

for any attack set for scrappers, the most skipable power is the taunt (note: this is for Scrappers, Not Tankers, as with tankers , taunt is extremely useful)

for Regen, the most skipable power is revive, it's mostly as waste of a power choice as a simple wakie insp. will do the same thing

ED has pretty much been explained, and i'm not going to bother explaining Invention sets as there is way to much to explain in the broad sense of it, and would suggest to research it for yourself and then ask any questions about such in a more specific manner if it is of interest to you

a'bit of info about TO's, DO's, SO's, ect are that they will degrade as you level, they are only effective within a +3 to -3 level range to your current level,... IO's on the other hand are of a certain specific value reguardless of your level and will stay that same value and never degrade

theres alot more info i could throw at ya, but dont really want to overwealm ya, any questions feel free ta ask...

the best advice of all that i can give ya is, above all else, HAVE FUN

Here's my standard boilerplate for Regen:

“There are definitely other approaches, but here's what I'd consider a basic plan for the Regeneration secondary using SOs or common IOs:

• Fast Healing at 1, 3 heals
• Reconstruction nice and early, 3 heals, 3 recharges
• Quick Recovery nice and early, 1 endurance modifier at first, add 1 or 2 more as necessary
• Dull Pain when or shortly after when available, as there is a lot to squeeze in at that level, 3 heals, 3 recharges
• Integration at 16, 3 heals, possibly 1 endurance reducer
• Resilience when and if you can work it in, 1 resist
• Instant Healing when or shortly after when available, 1-3 recharges, no heals unless you're swimming in slots
• Skip Revive
• Moment of Glory when or shortly after when available, 1-3 recharges
• Hasten when convenient, 3 recharges
• Health when convenient, 3 heals
• Tough when convenient, 3 resists, 1 endurance reducer
• Stamina if and when you start having endurance trouble, which may not be until 30 or later, 1 endurance modifier at first, add 1 or 2 more as necessary

Thanks for the advice on regen guys, that'll help a lot

I... uh... post it a lot.

I do think I should change the wording to more strongly suggest Hasten. It's actually pretty silly to take Leadership over Speed. Even I will likely switch to speed if I ever bring my build up to date.

And lest anyone think otherwise, the power and slotting suggestions aren't some magical "ooh, never thought of that" thing. It's just the very basic stuff that new folks may not have heard yet, and what I think is the forum consensus viewpoint on how to slot.
