Question: What would go good with */regen?

[madatlis16]

I was thinking of trying out */regen.. however I was not sure what would be a good set for AoE other than spines...

 

Any thoughts?

I dont think this is a thing : ) 

I was thinking maybe DM since it has the heal that would work well. I have a friend that did Katana b/c of the "def" + you get with one of the primary attacks.

Your friend is right.  With Regen, you want mitigation, and a separate 'layer' from healing - youve already got healing/regen.  You want to take less damage that needs healing.

Katana is the gold standard for this on Scrappers.  Claws could also work for the knocks - knock is some of the best CC in the game, in its own odd works-on-bosses way.

Anything that might provide +def to self or -tohit to targets could have synergy. Maybe even slows, etc..

I had not considered slows.  How much slow is in Ice?  Might be sportin.

[madatlis16]

hmm Ice might be interesting.. I would have never considered that. I think its around - 8 - 10 %

don't forget attack activation times, as long ones can get ya killed if you take a dmg spike while mid-animation & have to wait to activate Recon/DP/Meld/MoG/ect ...i've tried most sets with /Regen & found Kat, MA, & Claw to mesh best (but you'll want to avoid the long activation attacks like Evis/Eagle/etc).

Kinetic Melee reduces how much damage you have to regen from

I love DM/Regen Claws/Regen and MA/Regen but im not as familiar with some of the new power sets

And do it on a broote, no cheat mode in shadow meld there. be a man, a SPINNING MAN!

I have a fire/regen scrapper, who isn't the powerhouse some of my others are, but this character was made to take on lowbie content and thrive there, and it works.  When Synapse is the weekly it's her time to shine.  Plenty of early AoE damage.  No endurance issues before 20. 

 

I also have staff/regen on a brute.  This one is a science experiment; I wanted to see if I could make a tanking brute using /regen.  Kinda sorta works, although my rad/electric brute is still the better tank.  Became my redside main.
