If my Thugs/Pain could out-live the DPS of 3 Scrappers in PvP for an extended time then the regen will be fine. Regen will be unaffected by your BG status, and more or less there won't be a "numerical" difference, however, you will notice a significant subjective difference in your HP regen when in BG mode rather than without. |

In a way they are my HP so a buff to their regen is a buff to my survivability correct? Apologies if I overlooked a prior discussion but I cannot find this covered anywhere. Thanks joe |
In short: Large Regen+Heals+BG mode= One hell of a tanker
Thugs/Pain is a powerhouse for the game, newb or vet. BG and the regen buff just make you a monster for alphas that you can laugh off. I love love love mine.

The regeneration aura in Pain is supposed to be better for MM than for Corrupters. I think it has to do with having more total hitpoints, but I could be wrong.
The reason it's so great as it's basically 6x stronger because of BG. Damage split 7 ways, all 7 ways getting regen.
Not that I should say this... I fear what they should ever do about it.

It is working as intending. All it Body Guard does is give you more Hit Points, since you have your hit points along with all your minions. |

With more Hit Points you regen faster.
You also have more time for heals to work.
Aura heals are really the big gainer because you can heal yourself and all your minions.
All of this is working as intended though.

the mm aura adds regen, while the corr aura is actually a auto-heal which ticks a small amount of health every second
does anyone have a thugs/pain pve build?

Yes, lots of things that were originally working as intended have received changes... It doesnt mean this praticular power will be immune always, just currently.
