DM/Regen question(s)

Hey all came back a couple weeks ago from a 3 year "break". I am looking to play my lvl 50 DM/Regen to farm/have fun. I have been looking around the forums for help/builds but have only found some that deal with either or. I mostly solo so i am looking for advice on powers/slots and enhancements. I do have some enhancements already (10 maco's, and others) but not much money. I do want to get out there and make money and either get the recipes from either drops or buying. so i guess to sum up, i love this toon and have since launch and so now i wanna dust him off and have fun and make some influence. Any help/builds would be awesome TYVM!

I just posted an energy melee/regen brute build in the brute forum. It's expensive but S/L softcapped. A lot of it should translate.

TY Planet_J using that build i got this build. Mind looking it over and seeing if it looks ok? i cannot get my recharge bonus past what its at w/o loosing S/L defense. TY again =)

I can after work and post feedback

I will give that a try TY so much for the help i do appreciate it alot.

Read through this thread: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=281737

Here is a build I put together a while back: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=281140

I'll post my current build, which I am loving so far, when I get home.

General advice, though, is to build heavily for +Recharge. It is the DM/Regen's best friend.

Try this on for size, makes shadow maul an attack again...and it should also keep your defense up and it adds end recovery which you will appreciate...a lot...

Shadow Maul's rooted animation time will get you killed more often than it will prove truly useful. MG > Siphon Life > Smite > (Boxing/Kick/Ancillary or Patron Pool Attack) is all you'll need in your attack chain.

DM/Regen does NOT need to build for recovery, you'll have all you need from QR, Stamina, and if you really want it, Dark Consumption.

You build for Recharge/Defense/Recharge/Recharge.

Use shadow maul in my aoe chainnot my St chain except an occasional filler on a hard target. Line it up and it will wipe out mobs. It is a useful tool. But not something I would use on a LT or minion unless there was a no.

Unless you maximize its targets EVERY time, you get more Damage Per Activation with your ST attacks, even in groups, than with SM.

I also posted this in the ???/Regen Thread, so this is likely unnecessary, but wanted to post it here for the OP, since I did say I would. I am really enjoying this so far...plenty of layered mitigation, solid attack chain, and a few fun toys as well. It's expensive, but inf. is pretty easy to come by these days.

The highlights, if you don't care to look over the whole build:
Perma-Hasten and DP
750% regen
230% Recovery
33.8% S/L Def and 31.6% S/L Resist
170+% Recharge
