I liken neither for various reason but if I had to choose, it would depend on the primary I use; since I don't like weapon redraw (it gets on my nerves), I'd use regen only with a primary with no weapon to redraw and wp with weapons.

 ). As for my opinion I think that Regen offers more survivability simply because of the presence of heals. However I also have a WP scrapper and I think that the Rise to the Challenge power is awesome, but WP lacks any heals if you get in trouble (which is ALWAYS a possibility). I would also like peoples opinion on the best melee pair for these two secondary's. My conclusion Regen has better survivability while WP has a great "all around" approach. Have fun and keep it clean please (No insults to a person's build, constructive criticism is welcome) |
Either works but for survivability through lower lvls I think Regen is better WP is good but having heals is good for a backup I think Regen is the best
I got a snicker out of taking the DP/WP into pvp. I think I'll stick to PvP spec toons on that one.
As for WP's ability to AFK in a spawn, the point wasn't that WP has a much higher passive survivability and that makes it some how better than Regen's active mitigation simply because its passive. It was that with all of regen's abilities coming together and with all of WP's (excluding SoW) it looked to me (Just an opinion) that WP came out easily ahead.
And yeah I was citing Iggy's Video, but I was also taking my personal experience with playing the set. I know dipping into the red is part of the Regen experience, but I also recognize the difference between letting your build dip into the red to time your mitigation powers and dipping into the red because your build can't take anymore.
I'm not exactly sure why everything is being taken out of context to represent some "extreme" opinion why WP comes out ahead of Regen. Its just one players experience taking a DM/Regen Fire/Regen BS/Regen to 50 the long way, as well as a WP/EM, Claws/WP Scrapper and Stalker as well DB/WP Scraper to 50 the same way. Citing an example that I thought made a good comparison between the two sets wasjust that, an example.
