MA/Regen looking for advice
You'll likely want to run weave and CJ for extra defense, and slot some touch of death 6 sets, along with obliterations for melee defense. 25% is a good starting point, 32.5% is optimal (one purple insp from softcap).
The most common thing regens run into is too many 5% recharge set bonuses. Between doctored wounds, crushing impacts, and obliterations, they almost always cap out really quickly. Since you're running spiritual radial, you can sacrifice 2 slots in one of your clickies (I did IH) and instead just put three heal/rech IOs in it. With the alpha boost, the enhance value comes out to just over 105% for both values, so you're not really sacrificing anything.
Assuming you know about free fitness, and the recent(ish) changes that made MA much more awesome. Your uniques are probably better off in health, if you can spare the slots for enhance value in FH. I spliced them like this to try to get the most out of both powers:
FH: Numina unique, numina heal, regen tissue, generic 50 heal IO (107% after boost)
Health: miracle unique, miracle heal, panacea +heal/+end (71.6% after boost)
Integration: numina heal, heal/end, generic heal 50 IO (111% after boost).
The regen values are a bit of overkill, and if I had a better place to put those slots I likely would move them around for better set bonuses, but that's building around an alpha boost, and that's sketchy work.
As always, I highly suggest getting a Winter's Gift 20% slow resistance and throwing it in SJ (especially right now, the prices on the market are super-low, or just 50 canes for one)
I'm not familiar with the MA attack chains, however, so I can't give you a value of recharge to shoot for. Mids has been updated with an ArcanaTime option, however (options, configuration, effects/maths, show arcanatime checkbox), that will change your animation times to represent actual times we would normally have to calculate ourselves. So with some playing around you should be able to figure out a good chain for you.
I hate to be the bringer of bad news... but Willpower sucks!!! you're better off rolling a regen

Hi all!

I'm coming back to my main character after a serious bout of alt-itis and am looking for answers to some questions. I've looked at the guides under the stickies, but most are quite a few issues old.
1. Aside from the set bonuses and obvious price differences, what would be the advantage of slotting Numina's vs Doctored Wounds in the big powers (Recon, DP, Int and IH)
2. I do have the Numina's +Regen currently slotted in Health from advice from a long time ago. Is that still the best place to put it or would FH be a better place?
3. Is weave worth the extra power pick for a Regen or do most use it as a parking spot for LotG?
4. I'm using mostly Crushing Impact sets in my melee powers, does anyone use other sets (aside from the purp melee set) in their attacks? How does it affect your damage output?
5. Does anyone have a guide that is not 4-5 issues old?
6. I currently have the Spiritual Radial Boost slotted (the rech/heal one) Since Regen is so clicky, am I right in assuming that would be the most advantageous?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
