I'd hardly agree that paindom or empathy are somehow non-powers. I love shields, of all kinds, for the longevity they give a team, but in the end, with all the shielding in the world, you still need some proper healing to deal with the damage that's being done to the team. In any proper team situation, you want both "support" and "healing".

Personally, I'm a Fire/Pain corruptor, and it's the most fun I every had. The aoe healing-toggle can handle any small damage being done, and the proper heals can deal with anything else. I'm always a busy little bee; every spare second I have, if I'm not throwing buffs around - I'm burning the enemy alive and cackling with insane glee. I'm packing a positively massive dps, mostly of the aoe flavor.

Calling a paindom corruptor useless is a sign of ignorance. I'm sure the same goes for an empath defender/controller.

Man, that joke's almost as old as the debate over whether Magical Trevor was a radiation defender.

So, instead -Regen would be a case of "Retcon: You DID NOT Heal That Beforehand Power".
Its going to be very confusing to players playing the end game when all the Fire tankers earn so much -Regen buffs by Issue 23 that they are killing the end game villains in Issue 19 before the players get to see them in Issue 20. But then again, people keep complaining this game is too linear anyway. And kill-stealing becomes a thing of the past by being a thing of the future. Sort of.
