Yep, you read that correctly.

 

Tanks could be getting Regeneration

Scrappers and Stalkers could be getting Super Strength

 

Stay tuned! More details will follow on the first Tuesday of next month..

weirder things have happened.

Could this change also have the much-needed Vampire nerf?

Potentially..

hopefully this means they'll be fixing regen, aka giving one of the clickies a +absorb component and integration a +absorb tick

unfortunately, as they proliferate it to such strong ATs they must also nerf regen.  again.

Too soon for April Fool's. Can I really look forward to super strength stalkers? I'd love to deliver a Knockout Blow styled assassin strike.

And anyone that sets up April Fool's Day pranks two weeks in advance should have their butt cheeks super glued together.

So, I kind of have a very uncommon opinion when it comes to Regen! I think most of you may know this by now. I think Regen in its current state is very strong! Sure, it demands a bit more from the player, but I find that fun!

 

I think the newest take on Regen - the Sentinel port - is an extremely boring set. While being more numerically sound, it takes a lot of identity away from what Regen is! So, I'm not really in favor of suggestions like this...

...because it means some other aspects of Regen would have to be nerfed heavily to compensate! It simply offers too strong of a mitigation layer on its own when you start considering outside sources pouring into it. And I think that's why Sent Regen was designed the way it was.

 

That being said, I also agree with this!

If Tankers were to get Regen as is, it would hands down be the strongest mitigation set in the game. I'm positive that's why the trigger hasn't been pulled yet. And there's such a dissonance in opinions on this because it's so dependent on driver perspective as to whether or not Regen is a good choice. I'm not even saying that derogatively! It's just the least "set and forget" set in the game by far, and that's not going to jive with everyone's turkey!

 

Does that mean a complete overhaul would be needed for Tankers to get Regen? I don't know! What I do know is not even a small numbers tweak would stop me from finally being cured of my altoholism if I was given the chance to play a Regen/SS Tank if the set was largely unchanged!

 

I know I'm blowing a lot of hot air on a joke post, but I always feel obligated to defend my baby!

Best you can do is Titan Weapons/Ninjitsu Scrapper. I went with "Silent Thumping"

You do realise there's multiple meanings of the word "fixing" ?  😺

Could we finally see a stalking mastermind scrappatanking with a dominating control blaster set? HUZZAAAAAAAAAAH!

[TheMoneyMaker]

I am eagerly awaiting the Chuck Norris. It's basically a single AT that can access every powerset available, and each slot in a power is amplified 6 times over. Also set bonuses are inherently tripled, you can respec on the fly by swapping out a power as needed.

[Faelia]

Woo I guess?

Chuck Norris also has unique IO enhancements, like Roundhouse Kick, Intimidating Stare, and Beard Fist. Each enhancement in the sets acts as every type of enhancement all at once, so the Roundhouse Kick set is effectively 6 Acc, 6 Dmg, 6 Def, 6 Resist, 6 Heal, etc. and they all grant pre-ED levels, so you don't have to worry about 6 slotted powers. Each set is Unique, but Chuck Norris can slot them in every power, ignoring the one of each limit on unique enhancements, and the set bonuses stack beyond the normal limit of 5 of a given type. What are the set bonuses? They are insane, that's what. Everyone is a proc the proc rate is at will.

In the process of making my willpower tank my regen tank. Sometimes he'll hit the cap. Bugger all damage but a fun experiment none the less.
