Best Secondary to go with Martial Arts

I went MA/regen, and it's been great - depite that I gave a bad rap to /regen on another post. I wish Dragon's Tail had a more reliable KD, but w/e. It's fun hitting DT and then MoG or Recon when everyone is on their butts. I recommend a Force feedback proc in Dragon's Tail (and Energy Torrent if you go body mastery). Realy helps with your powers/tools.

/SR and Shields are fun as well - have too many of those tho

When I scroll down the page I can still see dark armor sucks seared into my retinas lol.

Depending on what you are looking for, I have a MA/Regen which is rather fun good damage over a few powers good amount of heals but no real Res and Def. WP would probably be your best bet but only with 1 heal not sure what you are looking for, Dark is rather good cause it has an Area heal around all Foes and can be a rather large heal, if you want for PvP go Regen, if you want PvE go WP, Go Dark if you want to be Different

3) Secondary effects are inconsistent so I can't even properly "stunlock" enemies or anything.
I'd like to see a higher chance to Stun on some other attacks than Eagle's Claw and Cobra Strike, but using the two in conjunction is a guaranteed stunlock. Hardly any Paragon Protectors my MA/Regen faced were able to use their Tier 9 because of their pairing, which was great. So it is possible, though I know not everyone likes Cobra Strike.

Hopefully if there are any tweaks to MA with GR they will keep the feel of the set, as that's great right now.

To the OP, my MA/Regen has been a blast. Regen is nice with MA as it doesn't cause redraw, and most of MA's animations are fast (.83 seconds to 1.67 sec), so discount what was said earlier on that score. Besides, if you're having issues dying in the 2.53 seconds Eagle's Claw is animating... you need to rework your build and/or your playstyle.

MA's KB and ability to stunlock help with alphas, which are Regen's biggest issue, usually.
