/regen got buffed. Cats and dogs live in happiness.

Yeah. People need to clearly delineate objections to how something plays to boundaries on how it performs.

I don't buy into the argument that people using things like Parry or Shadow Meld are doing anything more obtuse with the Regen powerset to make it survivable than people who are using +defense pool powers, Aid Self or various set bonuses to make powersets like Shields, Willpower or even SR highly survivable - especially when running without ally buffs in Incarnate content. Regen may rely more heavily on strong buffs than other sets to reach high levels of performance, and I certainly think Parry/DA and Shadow Meld are strong powers. That's natural, because many of Regen's core powers provide HP recovery - a linearly stacking survival mechanism. Layer some good non-linear benefits on it, though, and that scales extremely well.

Regen may well be to Scrapper powersets what Blasters were (are) to ATs - something that can perform very well in the right hands but may not do well averaged across the player base. In that view, it might warrant a buff. I am very much not in a good position to judge that; not only am I very unlikely to be an "average" player, I quite likely don't even team with them often, either.

Regen is probably my favorite survival powerset. I prefer the clicky playstyle - when I survive something, I feel like it was more because of my choices and reactions, and less because the RNG smiled on me. I lean towards other mitigation powersets with clicky aspects, like Firey Aura, and after those, I prefer powersets that at least benefits from tactical positioning - Invul, WP and Shields. SR is on the bottom of my preferences. It's fantastic at avoiding things ... and very little of it has anything to do with how I play.

This is a little like having the debate about automatic versus manual transmissions in a sports car forum. Some people hate the concept of having to manually shift their vehicles, some people would only consider that a "true" sports car experience and then there's the middle group who buys the automatic with the manual shift override feature to get some of each experience.

Really just a personal preference thing.

At the very least some of the IDF Seers have Drain Psyche. It mostly hammers my end, though, not my regen. At least when I'm playing a Regen.

I think Mask of Vitiation has -Regen in it, but honestly, that's the last thing I worry about when that's on me.

Anyone notice the price of Numina's and Doctored Wounds set IO's the last few days? I can only imagine what this is doing to the cost the of the PvP healing set IO's.

OMG I hate Augurs!

What Werner said. I'm monitoring it. I don't mean "I don't notice the effect of having my regen floored." I mean "I don't see my regen being being floored." And these non-Regens aren't all characters who are all running around defense softcapped to the -regen effects we're discussing, either.

If the IDF can't get the Regen rate of a non-Regen to go red, why would it be particularly troublesome for a Regen with a much higher regen rate?

Note I don't claim it has zero impact. I just don't see it as something that dominates my performance on my actual Regens. I notice the -regen from Malta and CoT Death Mages, on Regens and everyone else. IDF? Not even on my radar of things they do that put me in danger.
