Umm on its own that's pretty useless since we can't see slotting choices, you're going to need to post a mids.
Also.. The game puts an orange circle around the next part of a combo O_O Shouldn't be too hard to figure it out from there.
Attack Vitals is Ablating Strike-Vengeful Slice-Sweeping Strike.
Sweep is 1kCuts-Power Slice-Typhoon's Edge.
Note: If one of your attacks misses, it breaks the combo. All 3 must hit.
Looks like you have a lack of any defense at all. Next to recharge, defense is what Regen wants. Weave, and possibly Maneuvers will help with that. As far as your Patron Pool goes, you seem to have skipped the power that Regens want that pool for: Shadow Meld.

Okay -- I've just got to ask -- "un enhanced"? By that do you mean "he hasn't got any really cool IO sets" or do you mean "his powers have nothing but empty slots"? I'm reading it the second way, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. |

As far as more detailed build information goes, as SonicArcher22 said, you'll have to either download Mid's Hero Planner and post a build, or type out a reasonable facsimile.
Examples of Mid's builds are all over the scrapper (and other archetype) forums and look something like:
Name Goes Here: Level 50 Mutation Scrapper
Primary Power Set: Dual Blades
Secondary Power Set: Regeneration
Power Pool: Fighting
Power Pool: Speed
Power Pool: Leadership
Ancillary Pool: Soul Mastery
Hero Profile:
Level 1: Power Slice -- _________(A), ______(3), ______(5), __________(15),________(23)
Level 1: Fast Healing -- ________(A), _______(3), _________ (7), ________(9)
Level 2: Ablating Strike -- _______(A), ________(5), ________(7), ___________(15)
Level 4: Reconstruction --
etc
etc
etc
etc
etc.
Level 1: Brawl -- Empty(A)
Level 1: Sprint -- Empty(A)
Level 2: Rest -- Empty(A)
That way people can take a better look at what you've got slotted in each power, and make a MUCH better assessment of what can be tweaked.

Db/regen is an odd combo to begin with, the requirement to activate regen powers breaks combos and DPS in DB.
Still, if you can pull it off it'd be a.... unique toon.
"How do I use combos?"
"not using him to his full potential even tho hes powerful"
"Unenhanced"
"Hosting a raid"

Activating regen powers does not break DB combos. The combos stay up for about 3sec so you can hit Dull Pain between attacks and still get your combo off. It does hurt your DPS but that is just like any other set that as redraw.

wow. =) but it's ok, seems your new, so you don't know the ins and outs to a good build.
Here are a few pointers. As a regen, you want your heals to recharge fast, and heal for as much as they can. Many of your powers that you are devoting vast amounts of slots, only need one or two extra slots to be effective.
As for dual blades, I have a Dual Blades/Energy Aura brute that I absolutely love, however I find myself only using attack vitals, and maybe 1k cuts as some extra AoE. The Sweep combo just takes to long for my tastes. So, with that in mind, here is what I propose.

Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Failing that, spend the 5 or 6 million and just BUY SOME SO's! You'll see a 100% improvement in things like damage (okay, 94.93% after ED) but that will still be HUGE, as will a 33% accuracy increase, and so on.

Get ready, everybody -- scrapper forum heresy!!!
From reading these forums and shaking my head a lot, I think that a good percentage of people have put DPS over Damage Per Minute, or Damage Per Five Minutes -- and let's not forget that DpFM drops when you faceplant! Now, if you're going to run around with your difficulty slider at 0/x8 for the rest of your character's career, DPS may be the most important thing in your world, but if you want to crank it up to 11....
Sweep is a nice form of mitigation. Those level 54 Rikti or whatever have to stop pounding on you and concentrate on standing up for a few seconds every time you knock them helmet over teakettle, which increases YOUR survivability. My DB/WP's regen rate isn't as high as that of a regen scrapper, but I can see that little green bar start climbing back up when I knock down the boss with Attack Vitals, then knock down him along with any of his buddies in the cone of 1000 Cuts, and THEN knock him down a third time, along with even more of his buddies, with Sweep.
As long as I keep landing those two combinations, that boss spends about half of each fight standing back up, which means he's not attacking me! And those short breaks when they're all standing up again MIGHT be a good time for a regen scrapper to fire off some sort of heal, but I'm merely guessing on that.
Sweep's not entirely about DPS. It's about being able to stand in the middle of the brawl longer and CONTINUE TO DISH OUT DPS when that other scrapper -- who bragged about "I've got so many purples and so much recharge that I'm only using Attack Vitals" -- just faceplanted.
"But it wasn't anything some purples and oranges and lots of screaming in fear couldn't handle." -- Werner
30 level 50's: 12 scrappers, 7 other random melee types, 11 blaster/blapper/support squishies, two accounts, and a TON of altitis since 4/28/04
My DB/Regen is presently my favorite scrapper.
I would go villian, get shadowmeld and go from there. Honestly, it may actually be better than all my regens abilities combined.
I run the Vitals, and Sweep combo's. I just alternate them. Its a nice set up for general PvE, as you can target the boss, and the minions die from the AOE's. Normal bosses go down fast enough, but dont expect to wow anyone with your AV prowess. It can certainly be done, but I think it kinda cripples the build for general play.
If you acquire Shadow Meld, you can do just fine with it, MOG, DP and Reconstruction. I actually find IH to be lackluster now, and rarely use it.
I am at work, and dont have mids available. But a nice cheap build is to just pick up full deaths sets for your single target attacks, Scirroco's for the PBAOE attacks. This will soft cap you to Melee when under Shadowmeld, and is a cheaper and I think more fun IO set than trying for S/L.
It is very clicky though. None of the Regen clicks will in theory break your chains, but in practice, server issues do cause you to miss the chain on occasion. Shadowmeld will break the chain, so use it before, or between chains.
In your initial build, you overslotted your ranged attacks at the expense of your melee attacks. I can understand wanting some range, but to be honest, DB/Regen is a poor choice for mixing them in, with the redraw, and click nature of Regen.
Good luck.
Go forth, kill Carnies, blades cuts through them like butter, they are easily my favorite high lvl mob to fight.
In his defense, with Dual Blades, could he not in fact be a scraper? All the scraping I do is with a bladed object.
From my old I13 experiences, DB works better with WP because WP is more toggle-oriented like Regen was when I started in I2...

Just a reply to Eldorado, I use the sweep combo right now, or rather, I have Typhoon's Edge atm. However, most of the time, I find myself lining up cones for Atack Vitals, cause it gives me great jollies seeing the Vital Strike popping up over the mob's heads. So usually after hitting Attack Vitals, I pop 1k Cuts, and see even more pretty orange numbers. By the time 1k cuts stops animating, I can do another attack vitals. So I think I am going to drop Typhoon's Edge so I can use the Empower Combo.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

Attack Vitals is Ablating Strike-Vengeful Slice-Sweeping Strike, and Empower is Nimble Slash-Ablating Strike-Blinding Feint.
Now, there is no way in hell you have Ablating strike recharging fast enough to put the Empower combo between that, since it is used in both combos. You'd need to have Ablating Strike recharging within the animation time of Blinding Feint to pull it off, and I don't believe it's possible.
Personally, I would just start the whole thing with Blinding Feint and be done with it. Blinding Feint-Attack Vitals-1kCuts doesn't need much recharge at all, and it should give you some really good ST and AoE in the same chain.

I'm probably a little weird for the scrapper forums -- I still try do it all with my DB/WP, except the extreme pylon soloing. (I've mostly got what WAS going to be my dual build for that, but now that's on hold pending i19 soon™.) And by "do it all", I sometimes like to exemp down and when I do, I LIKE having all eight of my DB attacks. I also like being able to tank with a scrapper and have Confront on that toon as well as a few others, for those times I just can't quite get there fast enough to stab it in the face. |

Having all eight of those attacks gives me more blades on the Swiss Army Knife that is a dual blade scrapper. I'll often do the same Attack Vitals, 1000 Cuts, repeat mini-chain, although I'll lead the whole thing off with Blinding Feint. Uh oh. Taking too much damage? Okay, THIS time I'll Blinding Feint, Attack Vitals, full-out Sweep combo for the extra mitigation and then go back to the shorter version.

I really can't recall seeing too many DB scrappers singing the praises of Empower; I DO see plenty of them saying "I respecced out of the first two combos because who uses them?" But hey -- if something's working for you, go with it!
