Energy // Regen Critique

I've got a Kinetic Melle // Regen Scrapper that im thinking of rerolling, as I seem to get absolutely crushed by the long animation times while doing Incarnate content.

The reason I'm trying for Brute is because I feel that the extra hp will be more than enough to survive. As well as the slightly lower cast times in energy, and the possibility of making even AV's stagger promises to be a blast.

I decided to skip build up as it doesnt fit the 'feel' of the charachter. I have also gone almost exclusively for recharge in order to make Dull Pain perma.

My scrapper currently has all the sets other than Armageddon. Vigor Alpha makes Dull pain perma regardless, and combined with the accolades and bonuses, gives me a nice healthy 2944 hp.

ty in advance

You should look at using reactive armor in Tough AND resilience...it is really worth slotting it out...you also didn't get much defense above and beyond toggles...You are aware that stealth's defense bonus is halved in combat right?

Maybe you should read my guide...it has some tips about what you need to be more survivable on a regen...I would have gone spiritual alpha also instead of vigor...but that choice is yours. The link is in my sig.

You're going from Kinetic Melee to Energy Melee, because of animation times? Isn't Energy Melee even worse than KM in this regard?

Typically it is...but to each their own

Stealth is more of a convenience thing, the smidgeon defence is just nice to have.

Yeah, dont know why i went vigor instead of spiritual, i have that t4 on my 2 regen toons already lol..

As far as animation times go, im not exactly sure, but it 'feels' shorter, so I feel alot safer with click powers.

Also, stunning is just fun

I should also point out that the massive amounts of endurance might need to be culled somewhat, even sillyness has its limits. Although it is nice to never have to worry about the blue bar

ty guys, more suggestions the better
