Out of curiosity, what would a "limitless budget build filled with purple sets" look like? I'm looking to rebuild my claws/regen who isn't slotted as much for regen/def as I would like, but already has 75% or more of the damage-based purps, and 4/5 LotG Rech's.

Says who? Last I checked they were 100 million. Besides you can buy them for 200 merits a piece and if you do Breakup clockwork and skulls mission in Oroborus you'll get 200 merits pretty quickly.

But all of this came together for the most part before Ninja Run. I'm still happy with my choice, but I would look MUCH more carefully at travel-powerless if I were starting over today.
There is one more redeeming quality for at least one travel power besides the ability to slot BotZ - Super Speed's +stealth component. This, plus a Stealth IO in Sprint, allows for stealthing of many missions/TFs, which I find to be the tipping point for taking SS, especially since I inevitably take Hasten anyway.

Here's what I came up with as a multi-billion inf build (there are 2 2 bill IOs in there at the very least). The suggested ST attack chain is FU>Focus>Slash>Wait and you've got Evis, Spin, and Shockwave to work with for AoE. It's just shy of perma-Hasten and packing respectable levels of defense which should be more than enough with Shockwave providing KD goodness. It's not a hyper-focused AV killer or a farming machine, but it'll do both jobs quite admirably

Why is this mish so special? Is there one higher than exemping down to level 10?

Just came back from a little over a year hiatus also.

It's thanks to SSK allowing you to use powers 5 levels above the level you are exemp'd to (allowing you to have access to your travel power) and the mission itself being incredibly short. IIRC, the mish grants 2 merits and can be completed in roughly 5-10 minutes. That's about as good as most task forces and it can be done as often as you like without any diminishing returns or need for organization.

Looking at the build logically, yes. Since Umbral specifically mentions near perma-Hasten, and the level 35 power has three rechg redux listed, it is logical that Hasten is supposed to be there.

I'm not entirely sure how that got taken out. I'm thinking it must have been an errant click as I was exporting it because the saved build has Hasten in that spot.

Editing it now.

On most builds that have heavy IO investment you should get above 1700 HP by accident while chasing other bonuses. Max HP bonuses are pretty common. I'm sitting at 1790-some without really trying for Max HP.

Umbral, quick question....wouldn't it be better to slot the purp into slash instead of focus, since it does more dmg? Also, no Armageddon in Spin or Evisc?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but my (incomplete) build looks like it has quite a bit more Def and Res than the build Umbral posted. The only place that doesn't add up is the def against melee/ranged/AoE, which in the total section is showing -10%. Maybe I'm just not reading this right (first time I've used Mids). Anywho...here's the build I have.

P.S. This was before I was told +HP is pretty much useless
P.P.S. My rech is only reading -7.5% to Umbral's build, but that can be caught up with 1 LotG which I have a spot left open for.

Do you mean Follow Up rather than Focus because (1) Focus actually does more damage than Slash and (2) Focus and Slash don't accept the same IO sets?

Assuming I'm reading you correctly, the answer to your question is, in fact, a resounding "no". First off, the purple set, as I have slotted it, actually provides less +dam than the set up for Slash, not that 8% +dam is actually going to be doing much anyway. Secondly, +dam isn't the only thing that is being enhanced in the powers. The real reason to use the purple set in FU rather than Slash is because the purple set provides 90% +rech while the rare set only provides 43% +rech.

Slash, thanks to its already low base recharge time (4.8 seconds), has no real need for a huge amount of +rech beyond what it is given globally. FU, however, with its incredibly long (comparatively) recharge (12 seconds), has need for as much +rech as humanly possible so that you can stack up as much +dam and +tohit as possible (not to mention that the "real" damage contribution from FU is actually much higher than that of Slash simply because 37.5% +dam for 10 seconds more than makes up for a 5 point deficit in base DPA).

Spin and Evis don't have purple sets in them because of the set bonuses. Meaningful enhancement value differences between Obliteration and Armageddon don't really exist (all the purple set really provides is more end redux and that's not something Claws/Regen really has need of). All you would really save on that end is a single slot, which is more than made up by Obliteration's 6 piece set bonus.

Armageddon provides a bit more +recov (redundant), a tiny bit of fire and cold resistance (ignorable to useless), 15% +acc (redundant thanks to FU being so friggin' awesome), and 10% +rech. Obliteration provides stun resist (useless), 3% +dam (quite nice, especially when you stack it up), 9% +acc (largely redundant for reasons previously mentioned), 5% +rech, and 3.75% +def(melee). The comparative benefits of Armageddon to Obliteration are 6% +acc, 5% +rech, and 1 more slot while losing out on 3.75% +def(melee) and 3% global +dam. 3.75% +def(melee) simply blows the loss of 5% +rech out of the water (considering those are the only real comparisons) which is why I went without.

You had all of the accolades turned on which is why you had such high defense numbers and recharge. In reality, you only have 8.7% +def(all) and 62.5% +rech.

Next time you put together a build, don't turn every accolade on. The only accolades that you should ever bother turning on are the passive accolades because Mids' assumes that, if you have the click accolades, then you are using them (i.e. that they are on at all times rather than the pittance of time they are really on).

Umbral, wouldn't it make the most sense to keep the Numina/Miracle Uniques in Fast Healing?

The +recovery of the Numina and Miracle uniques are enhanced by the endurance enhancement in the power they're in. So it makes sense to put the Miracle unique in Physical Perfection for the extra recovery that provides.

Similarly, the +regeneration of the Numina and Regenerative Tissue uniques is enhanced by the health enhancement in the power it's in. So it makes sense to put the Numina unique in Integration, since it has more health enhancement than Fast Healing.

Huge facepalm on my part here.

I always assumed it would be better to have them in an auto power. I was aware of the fact that it is enhanced by enhancements, but I didn't realize the base regeneration increase played a part in that as well. Thought it was just the enhancement value of the other enancements you have in the power (so a max of 95% no matter where you put it) that affected it.

That leads me to the conclusion that if Instant Healing were still a toggle then THAT would be the best place to put it.

It seems to me that the Regenerative Tissue would work best in Integration and the Numina's and Miracle would work best in Physical Perfection, since that is the only power available to a regen that accepts both healing and end mod enhancements. This assumes that I'm looking for maximum recovery bonus of course. If I were chasing more regen Numina's and Regen Tissue would go in Integration.

My conclusions here, being based on information I did not have until now, seem sound. Is that the case or do I need to rethink it?

Now I need a respec recipe........

Now I need a respec recipe........
Take the palm off your face. No need to rethink. You were right the first time, and I guess I wasn't being clear. It IS just the enhancement value of the other enhancements you put in the power. By "Integration, since it has more health enhancement than Fast Healing", I meant the enhancements in it, not the base value. But most of the time, they should go hand in hand - you should be most enhancing the power with the highest base value. Not necessarily the case with Instant Healing since it isn't on full time.
