Old player, new tricks

[Call Me Awesome]

It's been a few years since I've played but I've recently found some free time and decided to give it a try.  In the process I've been thinking about the builds of some of my old characters.  One that I've been stumped by is my Fire/Regen stalker... yeah, I know that's a unicorn build but it was fun playing to 50 shortly after Homecoming launched and surprisingly durable.  Anyone have thoughts on improvement?  This is very close to the current live build on the character, although it shaves 5% S/L defense for more resistance and recharge.

No suggestions.  I'm just impressed that someone had the fortitude to play a /Regen all the way to 50.  You're made of sterner stuff than I am, my friend!  😁👍

Well, soft cap or near on S/L with recharge and regen worked remarkably well.  The character was basically immortal once I reached the mid 20's and had decent defense set bonuses.  I do recall looking up the combination in the list published a couple years ago and noticing I was one of 2 Fire/Regen stalkers at 50.

 

Regen does tend to be squishy without help, but with 50% S/L resistance and 20-35% to all others along with 45% S/L defense plus what Regen brings to the table works wonders.  No, it's not up with my Elec/Shield stalker but it's respectable.  Clicky to be sure but it was fun.
