Gobbledygook

Disclaimer: I have not attempted Regen since the great nerf of the dark times. Unnecessary background info follows: Back in Issue 0, I made a Claws/Regen Scrapper as my first toon. This was my first MMO, and I did not know a great deal about the powers, or even how to play. I did not have tough, and I never knew about perma MoG. I didn't even know about the forums. All I knew was one day Gobbledygook was amazing fun to play. He would get hit, and his health bar would drop dramatically, I would hit reconstraction or Dull Pain, and it would rise, quickly. The passive regen was good enough that it would take at least 6 mobs to cause to need to use a click heal. As there have been quite a few threads and discussions on Regen lately, I have decided to test Regen myself. My plan is to run a Regen Brute, 1-50, with no farming or PL'ing at all. I am having a little trouble deciding what primary set to pick though, as I am wanting to test Regens effectiveness, not the mitigation that an attack set can provide Regen. That means sets that provide +def, like Katana or Browdsword are out. Same with DM, as it provides a self heal. So, I come to you good people. And you too, @Snarky, for opinions and advice. I may even log this experiment for posterity.

I myself have called for changes to regen since the " Great nerfing of Regen". I disagree with people that say Regen would lose it's identity if IH was made back into a toggle. I say it would regain it's identity. Anywho, with all of the recent discussions on Regen, and a comment that @Erratic1 made in their SS/EA thread, I have decided to make one and see for myself.

Challenge accepted!

Maybe have the MM part as the battle cry, then have a macro for the second part?

Sabretoth is clearly a Brute

No experience, but my guess is EnM Stalker

Anything/Regen

I'd prefer a few more rounds of improvements and proliferations before work on new AT's begin. Looking at you Regen. Did you know Scrappers still don't have Super Strength yet?

For the costume change, check this thread out:

Venereal Disease day?

Brute. Scrappers and Stalkers don't have Super Strength. Yet.

And your costumes are awesome. (I frequent the Best Costume Thread)

Maybe I'll finally look into broom fighting...

I wanna play!!!

Just checking. I saved the build when the player in question first posted it, though I can't remember their name now to save my life. I already started working on it, guess I'll kick it up a notch, try to get some use out of it before there are any changes to procs.

Is @Snarkyyour in game global? I'll shoot you a /t So long as you don't mind teaming with a grumpy old veteran. 42, I'm not that old damn it!

SO only group? Makes me wish I had friends, lol.

Yeah, I need to revisit my Fm/Inv brute now that the changes have been live for awhile. I don't think anything has actually changed much in regards to the build, though.

I wont ask for you to post the build, I will simply ask, is it "The Aprocalypse" build?

I saw you in Atlas! Wb to the City

You forgot: Nerf Regen

When I won the lotto, I'm buying you a new computer

I love Invuln (praise @Hyperstrike, hallowed be his name) almost as much as you @Snarky, but Betty is right, Rad is awesome. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter. 1k words, double spaced.

It's on a Brute frame, may give you some ideas though.

Not sure if you were looking at def numbers out of mish or not, but new revamps in FM have added -Def to the fire sword attacks. If the farm you're running still has those attacks on the mobs, then they'll knock what fire Def you do have to practically nothing.
