Is it possible?

Hello Scrappers,

I'd like to start by saying I'm not much of a numbers person.
Up until this point I've played characters by how they feel or in line with a theme.

Recently however, I find myself reading the forums and trying to learn about
soft capping various aspects of a character. After going back and fourth about trying it
I decided to respec my Claws/SR scrapper. Wow, it made a noticable difference! Go figure!
It was easy enough to do and the toon runs at 48% across Melee, Ranged and AoE.

Next I tried to soft cap my MA/Inv scrapper.
This is a toon that I have struggled with playing all the way to 50 and was excited about
having a real focus and direction. After a quick work up on Mid's and a respec he was sitting at 37% vs. S/L.
But, when I leap head first into a mob it jumps to about 51% and
works it's way down as the bad guys get arrested. The toon is now a pleasure to play!

Hmmm, I wonder if I could do the same with another AT?
I fired up Mid's and respec'ed a Cold/Ice Defender all the way to 44.6% vs. Ranged.
Not quite the 45% needed but still much more fun to play!

I'm really getting the hang of this soft capping gig!
Toons are more fun to play and I almost enjoy Mid's as much as the game!

Wow! Which toon's next?!
Gimme that DB/Regen I made as a themed toon and I'm gonna fix him up proper!
Fired up Mid's! This guy is gonna rule!
A few clicks here, a few clicks there and skreeeeetch ... BANG! Pssssssst!

WTH?!?!
35.4% vs. S/L
This won't do at all..

More clicking aaannndd ... oh hell, even worse!

I come before you all. Head lowered and tail firmly tucked.
Can y'all please point me in the right direction? I thought I came across a regen build
that was soft capped but for the life of me I can't find it anymore.
I've attached the build as it stands so far. I only PvE.

I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts.
Thank you in advance! Y'all are the best!

Well the first thing I noticed is that you took superspeed at lvl 6. I guess it's a bug with mids. With a regen, you don't really want to go for defense. It's best to go for recharge, although that will require a bit more focus. Also, unless you really love having a rez, I wouldn't bother taking it. Replace it with a power that will keep you from dying.

Also, be sure to take hasten.


Edit: I have gotten numerous rep comments about this. Defense is always good, but having insane recharge levels will be better

Not a bug but a Veteran Reward. Although I forget for how long ...
Not taking Hasten was an oversight on my part.

New build with Hasten, my bad.

Nah, it's not a bug. Mids' is including the 60 month veteran reward; access to tier 1, 2 and 3 pool powers at lvl 6.

Defense and recharge are the two most fundamental aspects for /Regen. For general PvE play, I'd personally aim for 25% to all three positions and then pack as much recharge as possible.
