Fire/Regen... Anyone try it?

Good Morning!

I have never tried Fire, or (I am embarassed to say) Regeneration... and I am just not used to my main mitigation for damage to be "Take it and Heal it!"

I am unsure what order to take the powers in, what I need and what I can skip. Regen seems to have 3-4 powers all basically described as "This heals you even more" Which ones do I need?

If by any chance any of you have played this combo before and have a leveling build or can just give me some advice, it would really be appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time...

Funny, I was looking at Fire/Regen last night and thinking it would be pretty neat. I'm in the same boat though, never played either set past 5 or 6.

So yeah, I'd appreciate some tips on this combo too.

My wife's first character was a fire/regen scrapper and she loved it. I do remember her dying a lot though. Anyway, below is something pretty similar to the build she leveled on. I'll post another build with IOs as well, since I don't know how interested you are in using them.

Okay, this is an IO build for the same character, slotting for recharge and positional defenses to help flesh out both your offensive and defensive potential. You could certainly optimize it more heavily, but this is a decent build for IO sets.

Regeneration, I'd suggest taking everything, lowest priority being resilience, but as Fire/ You may benefit from that extra mitigation (since the primary provides only death, no KB/KD) You could at least tug the res/def IO from it if you were trying to get a little defense.

You should never face any endurance problems, fire is very strong, recharge is your friend (since just about everything on regen is a click power), know when to use what powers (you'll figure it out), and Take MoG. Take MoG. Take it.

A nice deal with fire/regen is not having redraw issues that regen clicks cause with other sets.

Also, in the end, not taking pyre mastery could be a good idea, all the other AP sets provide some amount of secondary mitigation. However, whatever suits your theme,

Fire/Regeneration is a great combination, capable of dealing a lot of damage. Regeneration is a great secondary capable of doing amazing things in an experienced player's hands. Regeneration benefits from positional defense and a boat load of recharge. Being that Fire has no defense buffs like Katana or Broadsword it will be more difficult for you to achieve a higher level of survivability.

I've modified FireSpray's build a bit

My Regen boilerplate:

“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, 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"

(Edit: Hmmm, I think I'm going to modify my old boilerplate to be a straight 3 recharges in Moment of Glory instead of 1-3. You really want that up as often as possible. It's a wonderful power, and in my opinion more critical to have ready than Instant Healing. Giving it the straight 3 will help to indicate that.)

Yea template. Spot on Werner.

Personally my 3rd 50 was a Regen. I still love it and it is my most expensive toon. I will drop some advice.

Most people assume that regen is uber-click demanding, and that it can be, but if you put some reasoning and thought behind it, you can be the last one standing in a group of faceplanters OR the first one on the floor. I took resilience before I set my toon out. After I dropped it because I just didn't die enough to justify a whole power to being stunned after a wakie. Revive is smh, again non justifiable. Load this build with recharge mainly because you want those heals avail all the time. If you are the careless player, you may find yourself without a heal when you need one. Be CAUTIOUS, don't use it if you don't need it simple enough right? You may be dead wrong. You run into a full mob without dull pain on, that alpha is gonna faceplant you, the 800 hp Dull pain willgive you will sustain an alpha (usually), but you just burned an 1100 hp heal so play smart. The 650 heal from Recon is excellent for use with a non dull pained jump in. Otherwords, leave it there when you REALLY need it. As a regen and with dull pain running you should heal around 75-80 hp/sec...7 seconds gets you the almost 600 hp vs. the 15+ second rech Recon takes. Other powers to me are self explanatory. Other than that, have fun, and yes regen takes a more demanding use of smarts, but can be just as good as the higher defense counterparts you will be teaming with (given the right use of the lobe

Have fun.

I have a Fire/Regen. I rolled her when Fire was ported to scrappers and I wanted to check it out. I came to like the concept, and eventually levelled her.

This is my character of choice for exemping down for running anything beneath Manticore, highly useful on speed Positrons --- but probably my least favorite scrapper to actually play at level 50. Regen, I find busy and nervous; if MoG is available to take an alpha strike she does fine, but when it is down she relies mostly on buffs and inspirations - in other words, relies on things that are not really reliable.

Willpower is harder to get to 22, but when you get there you won't look back. It is much less busy and nervous. If you want a scrapper that focuses on actual regeneration, rather than click heals that animation lag can postpone until too late, that's what I would go with.

I'm leveling one now, and it is the fastest solo leveler I've ever played, bar none.

I take Resilience at 20 (I usually don't have anything important to take then) and leave it unslotted until I manage to acquire a Steadfast Protection Res/Def, which is the best use for the power.

I put a set of Doctored Wounds in Instant Healing, I may swap it for a set of 4 Numina's for the HP bonus it gives. The heal enhancement isn't that important, but it's nice to have a power that can take another heal set for set bonuses.

Revive can be skipped altogether unless you happen to have a free pick at level 49 or something, don't bother slotting it, but you can throw an End Mod in the default slot. It's the most skippable power in the set.

Werner's Regen template is pretty spot on, I differ from it, but I know the set pretty well, and I know what works for me. His template is a good starting point for someone unfamiliar with the set.

Set bonuses to shoot for: Recharge, Positional Defense, Max HP (unless Dull Pain is perma) Recharge, oh, and RECHARGE.

I built my main a little goofy in comparison: Max HP, Regen, Recharge, and Defense are my priorities. I did it that way so that in most normal situations I don't need to use my click heals because my passive regen is quite high. It lessens the need for recharge, since I'm not using my heals as often, they're usually up when I need them. I don't recommend taking that path until you know what you're doing with the set a little better, I know my limits, so I very seldom exceed them. It leads to a character that is much more survivable than the raw numbers would indicate.

On the Fire side, I'd say Confront (naturally) and Breath of Fire are skippable. I say skip Breath of Fire because hopping out of melee to use a long root time cone attack isn't the best plan for a regen. If you need to hit a heal in the middle of that animation, you're screwed because it will queue up until the animation is done. The rest of the set is awesome and you should pick up everything if you can fit it in. If you must drop something, I recommend dropping Scorch.

Fighting pool is wonderful for a Regen. Fitness may or may not be necessary, though the higher your recharge gets, the more you will need end recovery as a general rule. Speed pool is great, Hasten is one of the single most useful pool power for a regen, and Super Speed is a decent travel power (I recommend taking Hasten even if you choose a different travel power

Leadership Pool is nice for Assault and Tactics (Maneuvers isn't that great for a regen, doesn't add enough with scrapper numbers), and Vengeance might be useful.

Stealth is nice if you can fit it in. It gives you 2 or 3 spots for LotG recharges if you have the space in your build. (you only get one spot for it in your secondary in Moment of Glory) Stealth and SS stack for true invisibility if you're so inclined.

Pools to avoid: Medicine, Presence, Teleport.

Medicine is a no-brainer, your heals are already way better than Aid Self, and are not interruptable. Aid Other can have it's uses, but you're a scrapper, not a defender or controller.

Presence isn't horrible, but there are WAY more useful options you can take.

Teleport is only useful for pulling, or retrieving teammates, unless you want Teleport as a travel power for concept.

Go to any PVP zone on freedumb and watch a cat called Zippo- (fire/regen) destroy everything.

how are you with that Fire/Regen of yours in PvP Santorican? I was thinking of rolling one stricktly for pvp but now I might just suit up my Kat/Regen, Iggy Kamakazy for it. Trying to branch out a bit here...

Thank you everyone for your help!
I am only up to level 16 so far, but enjoy it.

Thanks again.

It's very difficult to get enough defense on a regen build to make ANY difference in PvP. Everyone and their grandmother is slotted for accuracy in order to hit the SRs and Shield toons running around, the defense you can muster on a regen won't even slow them down. I'm not saying ignore defense altogether, but it won't do as much good as you might think, especially with Diminished Returns.

I suggest taking the Fighting pool. In PvP Tough adds resistance to everything, which helps your regen and heals out by not asking as much of them, and it stacks with Resilience (which I suggest you take and slot a Steadfast Res/Def in). Weave is debatable, but I like it, and it gives you another place to put a LotG Recharge, which helps because you only have one spot available for it in your secondary (MoG). Between Weave, Combat Jumping, and whatever set bonuses you may have, you should be able to get enough defense to help a little, but I would definitely NOT shortchange the rest of Regen to focus on defense in PvP.
