You would have a much better time pairing claws with willpower. Regen will cause lots of redraw.
Pair regen with something that doesn't need to draw a weapon.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
If you slot up Some touch of Death and Mako's bite for the def increase it would help. Most Healing Set bonuses increase your healing % by 4 or more too. I have an elec/regen stalker at 18 right now and it's very survivable despite my doubts. (my first time trying regen too)

The heal set bonuses don't effect the heals in regen, it has to do with the toxic resistance in the powers.|

Secondary source, I couldn't find the dev post that originally told us that it was not a bug but a consequence of how powers were coded.

Stalker Willpower is nearly as clicky as Regen - Reconstruction being what it is. Yes, WP doesn't have Dull Pain to worry about, but IH can keep your hp topped off fairly well while it's up, and Stalker WP doesn't get RttC to do the same thing.|

From my experience, Regen does moderately well if you pay any attention, but there are times where you have a small window to heal and having some defense or resistance would be really nice about then. My personal preference for PvE (ooo, alliteration) would be Ninjitsu, but I've got a 50 WP and a 41 Regen, and I've been reasonably happy at the performance of all of them.

Hey all thanks for the replies, I'll take the advice you gave about adding some defense to the build later in the levelsand see how it goes. Overall it has been fun so far (lvl 23 atm).
Was just curious how regen stalkers hold up in fights vs multiple hard hitting opponents. I have never really given regeneration a chance as I've always believed in defensive builds and the "magic number 45" lol.
I want to put together an old classic by trying two powersets I've largely ignored: claws and regen. I know that primaries such as ninja blade and broadsword mesh will with regen due to layering defense with recovering hit points at a high rate. The build I have pieced together has like 8% defense and that is it. I will probably be using shockwave and focus a lot for mitigation (and moment of glory when it is up), and my build won't be employing the GW pool so no shadowmeld. I am skeptical about just straight out taking hits and regenerating back the hitpoints, yeah it is a little bit of ignorance on my part due to lack of experience with the set but I was just curious how well a high recharge regen secondary performs. Will I be able to do things that a softcapped build can or will I need to be more cautious?
Great news I suppose is no more worrying aobut defense debuffs =D
