See... why do you wanna go there with me?  lol

 

I have tried regen every which way I know to try it and it all ends up back to a mediocre level of suck.  The problem with it is - you really really don't get a chance to build enough regen ironically enough - sure you have instant healing which doubles your regen to nearly 2k but the absolute best you can hope for with that is 90s of use with 140s of down time - which leaves you with 50s to fill - and sure you have MoG which takes out 15 sec of that - then it is 60s down - so that leaves you with 35 seconds of nothing to cover your exposed nether-regions except for the heals which again if you are being swamped will not be enough - because you also cant build enough defenses, or resistances - and definitely not both - because you are selling out to recharge and regen in this case - your static regen is always around 700-800 with regen. 

 

Keep in mind Bio can maintain a static regen of over 1k without even taking an incarnate alpha that boosts healing - activate parasitic and you are near 2k way more often than you are than with regen. 

 

Willpower - with RTTC saturated you are over 1k regen easy, and you can also build for really good resistances or really good defenses either way (I choose resistances with my willpower)

 

With regen even if you sell out for defense you still will be left with mediocre defenses at best - with no DDR to speak of to maintain the paper tiger.

 

Resistances are similar - you just can't get to decent enough levels to matter.

 

See below  from left to right High Recharge Build - Max Melee Defense - Max Typed Defense - Max Regen

 

 

You simply do not get enough base in any area including regen to have a decent target to sell out to to make regen as good as the other sets.  Your only hope is to get either Rebirth Radial or Barrier Core in conjunction with Melee Core Hybrid and rotate those in - with the hope of holding out long enough for your standard mitigation powers to come back online - but in my experience there usually ends up being a sufficient gap eventually that will be enough of a window to get ripped to shreds.

 

Here are the builds represented above.  And please if anyone has any suggestions for something I may be missing with regen let me know - but I am where I have always been with regen - it needs help - mainly in the form of more base regen and DDR IMO by either increasing one of the auto powers or by lengthening the duration of or shortening the recharge of instant healing - that would be all that is needed to fix the set.  It really wouldn't take much.  Then it could be ported to tankers.

[DM/RAD Brute ?]

people enjoyed it and its a Cheap date so to speak 👍

[DM/RAD Brute ?]

Been away for awhile so i was just wondering if Dark/Rad is still a good combo for a mostly solo player.  On paper the two power sets seem to work well together. Pylon Dps isnt really a concernof mine, im for intereded in "real world" function.
