Diamagnetic Darkness?

I'm working toward slotting up my Interface slot on my Fire/Dark, and I was originally thinking about Diamagnetic. I love the fact that I can debuff regen, and was thinking that, with stacking Diamagnetic attacks on top of HT and TG, I could put a real dent in the regen of notoriously "healthy" AVs...

I was recently speaking to a friend, though, who was of the opinion that TG and HT already do about as much -Regen as you're gonna get, and that I would be better served by taking something not already covered by /Dark. This seemed like sound advice, but I'm not one with a head for numbers. If it's really a negligible difference, I'll probably go with something else... but even if I'm not getting the max benefit of the extra debuff, if it makes a notable difference in how fast an AV goes down, I'll stick with it.

Would you go Diamagnetic on a Fire/Dark?

Nope. Not worth it.

The maximum -Regen you're going to get out of your attacks is -40%. With is less than 1/10th of what Howling Twilight offers, or 80% of Twilight Grasp.

No.

Paralytic offers defence debuff, not seen anywhere in /dark, and -damage; which can stack quite nicely with darkest night, twilight grasp and dark servant's copies of each to keep damage debuff at a fairly consistant -95%. How well the defence debuff is intended to work I don't know, but at the moment rain of fire does a nice job of making sure it gets applied to something.

Gravitic adds more slow, usefull for keeping things in RoF is tar patch isn't doing so... ok, scratch that. But it does have a -secondary effect which can be useful, or can go completely unnoticed for months.

Or there's Reactive, the go-to for everything nerf candidate.
