Hello, and Welcome!
EM gets a bad rap because of slow animations and a dearth of AoE attacks. If you like it, play it!
Made some changes based on overslotting, and trying to get you as much +defense bonus as possible. Also swapped out energy punch for darkest night. Use it, and you'll see why: if you can delay your 'SMASH' for a few seconds in order to drop it on a boss, you can floor the whole group's ability to hit you (esp. with decent defense).
I hope the build below will give you some ideas, anyway....

Thank you for the welcome ^_^
it is a bit slow, but since I don't know anything else, it really doesn't bother me, also I like how it stuns groups easy, it keeps them stunned for awhile with no added enhancements~ the combo I use is barrage> energy punch>bone smash> WH/ET (which ever is needed more atm)
with your build it becomes barrage>bone smash> darkest night> WH/ET? Also why eradication on WH instead of Armageddon? (not that I'm complaining, that set is going to totally break me to get)
Darkest Night is a toggle power, not an attack. It's not part of an attack chain.
Eradication gives: E/N defense and max HP (which will help you get closer to the HP cap when Dull Pain is up)

Ahhhh okay, thanks~ also I ran into a snag. Because I am a hero, I couldn't take the gloom power. So I was debating on giving up the epic power pool, and instead taking my four extra slots and slotting two into build up for recticle and two into health (miracle heal/+recovery) revive kinda feels like a bit of a waste since I don't plan on dying often, but the power pool I have a choice of also seems like a waste. (I debated the accuracy from energy mastery, but it eats so much endurance, its not worth it)

You will have to change alignment and run the Ghost Widow Patron arc...(5-6 missions) to get Gloom...but you really should it is good.

ULTIMATE REGEN GUIDE I22
Hello all. I am new to City of heroes (been playing a little over a week) and I been really loving it. I started with Energy melee/regeneration build (and later found out how much people dislike that) but I still really love it. I been playing with mids since I discovered it, and been trying out all sorts of builds. After lots of work, I came up with this one. However I am not experienced enough to know how good this build is, so I thought I would submit it for critique. Anyone have useful pointers/insight on what I should do/change? (to be honest, I tried a few builds, and this is working the best by far so far, even though its not complete yet...think the other builds are only effective when I hit level 50...)
Edit: btw, I don't like "inflated" bonuses people sometimes post in builds, so I turned off some things even if I can perma them (like dull pain) if you want to see the max stats, you need to toggle them on (hasten, dull pain, spiritual radial paragon, etc.)
