Building a KM/REGEN

Does anyone know how to build a good KM/REGEN?

I'm open to build suggestions. I do however want to take the soul PPP for shadow meld.

What kinds of set bonus's do I need to slot for and what's the priority list for them?

recharge, recharge, defense, moar recharge.

More specifically, pick either melee or smash/lethal (either one should work fine), then see if you can build up to (or a bit higher than) 32.5% to that particular defense. while you're doing that, make sure you have at LEAST 55% recharge in set bonuses (preferably more) (this will get you perma-dull pain with hasten, and have some overlap with spiritual). After that, see if you can get more defenses to other types, or moar recharge for your clickies. It's not your passive regen that keeps you alive, it's your reactive and proactive use of clickies that keeps you upright.
It's also worth making sure you have enough tohit versus +3s while building. One of the problems with kinetic combat and touch of death is low accuracy values in the sets, so kismet and tactics are often required to get to (or above) 95% tohit vs +3s.

I just threw one together with 35.4% melee, 20% ranged, 21% AoE, and 63.8% Recharge. So you can get some pretty groovy values out of it without too much trouble.

When I originally threw together a build for my km/regen, I went for melee defense. I've now since opted to shoot for s/l defense as it will also cover some ranged attacks. I think most pure elemental attacks are ranged, but a lot of them have a smash or lethal part to them.

I don't have the build on my laptop so I can't post it. I do know she has 33% s/l defense and enough recharge combined with global bonuses, hasten, and the spiritual alpha to have overlapping DP, 17sec Recon, 100sec downtime on IH, MoG in under 70sec, and Shadow
Meld in 35sec I believe. Due to the lower acc numbers of kinetic combat, I might opt to use Nerve in my alpha. I haven't looked into it yet, though.

This is the build I had in mind, my focus was recharge, recharge and MOAR recharge with a smattering of +hp and +regen. I'm not really sure where enuf recharge is enuf for a regen. I plan on taking the spiritual alpha of course.

What could I change to round out this build or do I have enough recharge to just plow thru things?

As I previously said... with 55% recharge in sets (plus hasten), you will have dull pain permanent (with it being slotted normally), that with accolades will get you to hp cap, thus rendering all hp set bonuses useless.

You have plenty of recharge, but you don't really have any defense. Shmeld doesn't even get you to 45% to anything, any your smashing blow slotting? gross.
Also you didn't take body blow, but took focused burst (which has much worse DPA)... odd choice.
Force Feedback procs can be useful, but I wouldn't waste slots on more than one (because of how they unfortunately work), and I'd keep the one in torrent for that.
Your endurance is also pretty bad, need more slots in QR.

try again, with less focus on regen/hp bonuses, and more defense sets (melee or smash/lethal first, others later)
You can get some pretty good values out of the set.
