~Spines/Regen Scrapper

I have a lvl 50 Spines/Regen that I first made years ago when I got into this game. I haven't played him in years. I'm looking for something that can farm AE missions and BM for drops. Is a Spines/Regen good for farming? If not, what is? What should I make and what build should I follow? Please share and post your builds here from Mids.

Thanks,

not really

if you want to farm i sugesst Elec/SD scrapper

It's good depending on the mobs; it'll plow through most mobs with ease but there's several out there that will hand a regen it's butt.

A 50 Fire/Shield, Elec/Shield or BS/Shield scrapper will be better, but you already have the Spine/Regen at 50 and it's far from useless at mowing down most mobs. Things like Malta, Nemesis, Carnies and the like will be harder but most mobs are easy.

I've a BS/Regen, Spine/Regen and BS/Shield all at 50 and all are quite capable. Regen's a bit squishy at times but it's still a capable scrapper and Spine is really good at AOE. For your Spine/Regen there's two choices in your build decision... go for defense or go for recharge. Either approach is viable. Heck, you'll be fine with a semi-decent SO build for basic farming; after all farming isn't particularly demanding since the idea is killing mass numbers of easy mobs.

I don't really have a build for Spine/Regen I'm happy with; mine hit 50 quite a while ago and isn't played all that much; I think it's mostly SO's and HO's right now. Some general ideas:
From Spines I'd get everything but Barb Swipe and Confront.

From Regen you've a little slack... one thing you'll find is that the old dog of the set, Moment of Glory, is now quite useful as it gives you massive defense and capped resist for 15 seconds... with no crash or HP loss. It's a defensive build up now and just the thing for soaking a problematic alpha strike.

I like the additional AOE potential of getting either Energy Torrent or Fire Ball in the APP; I haven't respec'd my Spine/Regen since the Fire APP came available so I have Energy Torrent on my build. I'd go with Char/Fire Blast/Fireball for the APP powers.

On your slotting, if you go for a recharge build the Crushing Impact set is nice for single target attacks, Doctored Wounds is always nice for Recon, Dull Pain and Instant Healing for cheap 5% recharge bonuses. Impale can take the Decimation set for recharge but it ain't cheap. You'll also obviously want Hasten.
