Regen brutes will get much more out of DP thanks to their higher HP cap, and due to that higher HP, essentially more regen as well (same % of regen but more HPs recovered).
The higher res cap also means MoG will be more efficient on brutes.
IIRC you won't be reaching 2500% regen by yourself unless you do something silly like stacking Rebirth and IH instead of alternating them.
I'm not claiming it's never going to be an issue, but other benefits brutes will get over scrappers should more than make up for it.
So that sounded a lot like no they won't be changing the cap then...
Damn.

If I'm doing my math right, a brute with capped Regen and base HP will regen more HP/sec than a scrapper with capped Regen and base HP. At capped HP, the brute would pull even further ahead.|

Not saying it wouldn't be nice, but why would brutes need their regen cap increased?
@Roderick
Even with IH active and lots of set bonuses and the +regen procs, you will only really be pushing 1600-1800%. That still gives loads of room for outside buffs to be helpful.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
Basically all of above. You'd never hit the cap on either without stacking Rebirth/IH, or massive outside buffs.
The more I think about /regen for brutes the more interested I get.
I already have a single target, high damage and uber survivable em/inv brute so I'm thinking ss/regen.
While I don't believe a /regen regardless of IO bonuses solo can be built as tough as a /inv, /wp or /da I do think it will be pretty damn tough with capped hp and alternating instant healing and rebirth. If you can fit 30% or more s/l defense it will be pretty beast.
That's completely solo.
On a buffed team a /regen gets exponentially stronger vs most other secondaries.
I think it will be completely viable.
SS/Regen or Stone/Regen both sound very tasty. Whether or not they raise the regen cap on brutes, the hp/sec with all your stuff running should be absolutely ridiculous on a Brute's hp levels, and quick recovery makes everything Brutish work that much better. Outside buffs should turn you into a force of nature.
Rule number six of an empathy defender is NEVER underestimate a blaster's ability to die. I don't care if he has CM, Fort, both RAs, bubbles (both FF and Sonic), and is fighting next to a Storm defender with hurricane on. If there is a way to die in that situation, the blaster will find it.
