I'm not sure if it's that my builds are so good that they really need no additional comments of any sort on them*, or if that my build topics smell so bad that people run out of them as soon as they start reading.
Anyways, I'll just go with this I suppose. After all I can respec if it's effed up /shrug.
*Which, of course, we all know is impossible since there's always that little thing we miss. Even if not, someone with a different approach might have something to add.

Hey guys
I'm currently raising a Kat/Regen scrapper. Although I'm still not fully decided about him yet, I'm still considering his IO options. I know regen benefits a ton from recharge bonuses. And I would think it also benefits to a good degree of +MaxHP bonuses and some defence to go around. I also heard that Katana/Reg can solo AVs, and I've been meaning to build myself one of those for a while now....
So, before I post my build I have something I'd like to know. What do you guys consider to be Katana's best DPS chain?
Now, here's the build. Keep in mind this is my first time building a /Regen toon so you will probably see a lot of noob mistakes around.
P.S: This build takes into account the Spiritual Radial Boost Alpha (33% Recharge/Heal, 11% of that ignores ED cap). Tell me what do you guys think, and any suggestions are very welcome.
A few notes:
- I know a full Numi set in Fast Healing is totally not needed. But I figured if I do it this way it'll save me using a Mako's Bite set in another power which I can use for Crushing Impacts for more acc/recharge.
- I would think that End would never be a problem on that build considering my recovery rate is 4.37 EPS and consumption is only 1.03 EPS. (Or 4.77 EPS recovery if you factor in the Performance shifter procs).
- I didn't really want Manuevers in...but I ended up with it for two reasons: 1) I'm not really worried about my Endo in that build. 2) Getting manuevers freed two powers in which I was able to change the sets in for more recharge instead of using Touch of Deaths/Mako's Bites for defence, plus freed two slots off Tough.
- I built for about 20% defence on all three positionals, at which point Shadow Meld or two small purples would put me on softcap. I tried going for 32.5% on Ranged and AoE, but it wasn't going to happen without screwing up the build.
