I wouldn't say "Out of favor". Its more like "Been there. Done that". /SD and /Ela are the new and shiny. The new IO sets have given /DA a new life (like being able to turn dark regen into a live mob version of cyrgine(sp?) circle. Its also easier to get more def.)
That's how I see it anyway. Maybe one day they will make some IOs that cause spike in the creations of wolverine/daken/X-23 copy cats (claw/regen).

There is absolutely no reason to avoid Regen, Willpower or Super Reflexes. They are all excellent secondaries, though with very different flavors, so WHICH you pick may depend a lot on how you like to play.

I am looking at *all* the sets very closely as I speculate what benefits the new melee set will bring, as well as any balancing to existing sets (shields) that may come. As has been said they are all good and personal preferences make them stand out.

I have seen lots of posts now about /Shields, /Electric even /Dark but not much about regen, willpower (other than its an easy starting set) or Super Reflex.
Im going to be making a new scrapper and would like to try a secondary I have not used yet (which means Dark and Electric are out)..
Could someone clue me into why Regen and SR seem to be "out of favor" these days (back when I first started every scrapper seemed to be regen or SR).
Where there major game changed I missed while I was away...?
Thanks for any and all 411...
