The +HP is pretty pointless. With perma Dull Pain (with that many purples you'd almost have to be there, only need 55% global recharge +Hasten to get it), your HP should be pretty close to the cap already.|

Defense and recharge should come first, in whichever order you prefer. Then, if you find that your HP isn't capped with Dull Pain active, you can start looking into HP bonuses. They should not be a major priority.

Thanks for the reply Claws.
From what I was reading about regen & a brute, the advantage over the scrapper was the hp edge. Why I focused on +HP in the build. I could have added more defense but at the sacrifice of less recharge. I think.
Yeah it's perma dull pain. The build has:
145% recharge with Hasten
31.2% s/l defesne
18.2% all other defense
+286.7 HP from IOs
Even with dull pain, all hp accolades, spiritual core alpha (+recharge, +healing), the build is still about 170 HP short from brute cap (3212 right?).
In reality I didn't sacrifice too much defense for HP......about 0.5 % by adding an extra LOTG for hp vs an HO in 3 powers. I did sacrifice some end recovery in stamina and quick recovery by using three performance shifters instead of 2 + 1 end mod IO.
I have the below build as my guideline for where I want to go with this toon. But something is eating at me. I feel there is more I could get out of it. This is my first regen toon after playing since 2004 and I'm still getting the hang of it. He's level 40 atm and starting to prepare for IO build.
I focused on +hp, +recharge, and +def and think I have a good mix of all. I've noticed that -recharge is a killer and that STJ end usage + end zappers are brutal too. After 40 levels, I am also still concerned with too many whiffs and am debating on using the Energy PP for FA + endurance powers.
Any tweaks or suggestions would be great.
I do already have the Glad's Armor ready to go but not sure if it's getting wasted on this toon.
