SS/Regen

My experience <KEYWORDS- MY EXPERIENCE most emphasis on MY, meaning no one elses, not my neighbor's, not the cat, not the dog, not some dude 3000 miles away, not some rikti from anoter dimension. MINE!!!>

So take it how you wantt o take it and if it dont line up with your own expereince then go out create your own but this is MINE!


Looking at the power combination, what more could be wanted(Rhetorical)? There is the brute, a damage dealing AT that can take a hit as well dish it out with a fury bar to buff damage. There is SS, a power set that hits hard in the smashing damage realm, with a build up equivalent that last about 2 minutes and buff damage even further on top of fury. Then you have Regeneration, a set that as the name suggests, regenerate hp quickly to cover incoming damage. Put them all together and a monster is born, even though mine looks the exact opposite of a monster.

Level 1- One attack power, one fast healing power. Gets the job done. Level 1 goes by in a fash.

Level 2-18- Also goes by fast with even more attack powers. Nothing too special here ad the mobs that I came across wasnt too hard and most of them did either toxic damage or energy damage (lots of Vaz and Clockwork). No resistance to any of it but neither do most brute/tank sets at this point but regen have the regeneration which made a difference and made these levels fairly easy.

Level 22-Buisness picks up as SOs come into play. This allowed my regeneration to work better and most of all, helped with the damage output. In brute fashion, it was about defeating the mob before they even became an issue. And if they did, a simple click of the heal button, and kept on dishing out the pain. A nice sized fury bar and rage, nothing stood in my way.

Level 26-I picked up hurl as soon as I can. I figured there is not many things in this game as power sets go to me <KEYWORDS-TO ME!>, that is more enjoyable than literally ripping a piece of the ground up and tossing it at the foe. Plus it helped ground those pesky fliers, especially Sky raiders.

Level 32- The good old foot stomp. I picked it up but didnt even move it to tray until later level.

Level 35- The enemy mob seemed to become more hard hitting by this point especially them freakshow tanks. Solo, Dull pain works wonders here and by the time they even managed to drop my health bar to 25%, they was dead anyways. Key thing I do as a Regen is to keep attacking. Sit in a spot too long with certain mobs while letting them pound on me can mean I'll eventually find myself faceplanted. A good offense is a good defense to me. Those CoT death mages start to appear more in mission by this time and late 30s. Their acc debuff was powerless as Rage more than made up for it. A few stacks from it from a few of thse mages left me whiffing a little much took them down with little trouble. On none SS toons, sometimes I find myself having to pop a yellow to speed things along when I encounter these death mages. Not with the SS brute. By (level 34) now foot stomp is slotted and have been moved to the tray and is a power house of a power when things surrounded me. It cleared the room fairly swiftly.

38-50- It was all standard stuff from here. keep attacking keep moving, keeping attacking. While the fury bar helped, I wasnt affixiated on it. If it got to a good level, then it was good. If not, no problems. That is what I used Rage for.

Incarnate-content-good stuff but found the mobs in the arcs not much more difficult than the standard mobs I have been facing or at least I had not more trouble with them. Some of them do debuff regen but by now there is more than enough to go around and not many of them was that resistant to smashing damage so they went down easy. Although that Sentinel thing did put up a fight but got past it on first go with not much trouble wit hDull Pain on. And the alpha damage Musc. set buffed damae in all attacks even more. More damage, quicker the enemy falls. I could tell a difference.


IOs-If I was to IO it I would again focus on damage, regen, and hp. But at this point, after 50 levels, I find it <KEYWORDS-I FIND IT> optional.


Overall, I found <KEYWORD-I FOUND, extra emphasis on the I> this to be the set if I want to abolutely destroy everything I want to come across without giving any regard to endurance and or want to run mob from mob like a cat on fire defeating them all with no problems. I might build this set again in the future. It was very much fun from level 1-50 solo. On teams not sure how it will do but on iTrails it held it's own very well.

Why are you trying to put words in other people's mouths? You don't speak for anyone but yourself!





My SS/Regen is only 27 but she's a blast. I can't wait til 32 since I know from my SS/Fire that business picks up major from that point on.

I aint speaking for anyone and not putting words in anyone mouths but judging from the few harassers that follow me from post to post to derail the topic and say my experience is wrong or is discounted because it didnt match their experience, I'm just making sure I'm extra clear on that this is my experience and no one elses. I dont speak for anyone no one but myself.


But yeah 32, it's down hill from there. the levels will go by fast.

Some dude 3000 miles away: I agree.

One tip that I got from these forums that I didn't realise in game (cause I don't do any research for myself) is to put Dull Pain up as much as possible. Regeneration works on percentage of total health so it actually increases you're regen as well.

Very good build there, Vysires.
Never can have too much regen, until it caps out of course but then still want more.

One of the interesting things is going to be the new res bonuses coming soon.
