Brute regen rates

I was curious if any of you experienced SS/WP Brute users could let me know if 70.71 hp/sec is a good rate for a level 50 Brute?

I have Willpower Scrappers and Regen Scrappers, but since they have lower hp caps I can't really use them as a comparison to the Brute.

I would say with half RttC you would want to be at 80 hp/sec or so. But def is more important to /WP, surprisingly.

Yea 70 is good. Im at just under 81 and have pourd billions into my build. If I did not get all the HP accolades then I would be around 71 something with 1 enemy in range. I would suggest build HP and Def. The regen set bonuses normally have HP bonuses in there as well so no need to build just for regen, that part kinda just shows up on its own.

/agreed on the defense priority. I'm at 85, largely as a result of basically being at the HP cap. But the difference between 70 and 85 is much less important than capping def. WP relies on layered protection, IMO.

I'm all purpled out with all the accolades and consider my WP Brute to be pretty top of the line. He gets 50.77 HP per second with no enemies in range. 81 with one enemy in range. 168 with max enemies in range.

I think 71 with one enemy in range is very solid for a build that isn't spending billions.

To echo what some others have said, defense is still very important. I run Heightened Senses, Weave, Combat Jumping, and have a Steadfast unique 3% defense IO on all my WP characters.

Good luck!

Defense is important for the following reason:

It does not matter if you are regenerating 70 HP per second or 700 if you get 3 shotted by something. And there ARE things in the game that can 3 shot a brute. Dr. Aeon is one, and several of the Freedom Phalanx can as well.

The more hits you take the more prone you are to being killed before your regeneration can even hope to heal it back.

My Spines/Willpower Scrapper is built for regen and defense, but I decided to go health and regen for this Brute mainly because there are other mitigating powers that can make up for a lack of capped defense. I plan on using Foot Stomp to keep enemies on the ground and also Hand Clap. A lot of people find Hand Clap useless, but I like it for a mitigation power since it can basically floor minions which only leaves Lt's and Bosses to attack and they can't really overcome my regen at the moment.

I have seen some of the billion influence builds and they are exceptional, but I refuse to spend that much on any character. This is an expensive build but still in the hundreds of millions (before inflation hit the game). Based on the current prices this build would be in the billions, but she has been around for a good minute and I had basically all of the IOs and recipes already.

Once she hits level 50 her HP will be 2540 which is still short of the cap by a lot, but I can't imagine how people are getting 3212.7 on a Brute.

I will see what I can change around to see what I can eek out in terms of more defense, but unless I completely redo the build I will be lacking on defense. I typically carry an entire tray of lucks since I never need greens or blues.

Hand clap will also toss mobs across the rooom meaning 0 extra regen from RttC.

2770 Total Hitpoints, 96 hp/s with one in rttc, 5 sec footstomp, and a ~small purple from softcap for ranged and meele....but i spent billions (I can't wait for my Very Rare Spiritual, more recharge and healing FTW!)

That sounds pretty good for brute #s i dont personally have a wp brute but you should push for more def since more def= less attacks getting through which in turn = more hp/sec cuz you take less dps.

With my SS/WP I managed to get 80 regen with one in range of RttC, 2652 HP (with all the HP accolades), S/L at 38%, E/NE at 36% and F/C at 34%. Pop a purple inspire and I'm close to, at, or above the soft cap on all def minus psi.

I usually run at 2/8 but have to drop it down to something workable for Arachnos, LB and w/e else has -def attacks. Haven't yet got my Alpha, but when I do, things will be even better. Going for Spiritual which should help with FS coming up a bit faster. But I also have the Force Feedback proc in FS and Punch. In a /8 setting, the proc comes up quite often when I use FS. Might be switching out the one in Punch for another % dmg proc since it doesn't come up that often that I've been aware of.

I'm glad this was posted. I'd been meaning to ask some similar questions about SS/WP. With the game being down atm, I'll go ahead and post that question now. Good luck with the build.
