Hey all. I'm a 7 year vet just returned to the game not long ago, after taking a year off so i could take care/be with a terminally ill family member, bear with me. I just finished leveling a EM/WP Brute. I'm focusing on Regen with the set bonuses. I was told +healing doesn't effect the regen in WP only +regen. Is this true?

Also... What would be the best Alpha Enh for said character? Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance everyone.

+heal from set bonuses only affects click heals (self, aoe or targeted). It does NOT affect Regen or +HP (Like in High Pain Tolerance).
EDIT: It doesn't have to be a click, any power that makes green numbers show up over someone's head gets the bonus (unless it's flagged to ignore buffs).

For Alphas, there is no one right answer. However, the Spiritual tree is popular with Regen and Willpower characters. Note that the Alpha Enhancement functions (more or less) like an SO, NOT a set bonus, so the healing component WILL boost your Regen and +HP powers.

Thanks for the reply Roderick. It helped a great deal in figuring out what to take.
