What do I need to know about Regen?

pst, that's not love.

 

I do get it. Not every set or even every archetype is for everyone and that's okay.

I played regen in it's release state. Then sat through a series of nerf. Some justified. The community admitted it. Then admitted it was where it probably should be. Then it got nerfed again. In an incident where Statesman forged evidence to justify it to the community. And deleted his post and went silent after it was called out. In which everyone knew regen was now below par. I survived then by using air superiority in conjunction with MA's knockdown and knockback. Before you could spend infinite resources to prop up anything with proc based enhancements and incarnate powers and such. 

I like how the set plays. I really enjoy it. I don't know why people are averse to a set that doesn't rely on toggles. The fact it underperforms really shouldn't be controversial though.

"pst, that's not love." referred to the recognition of an unhealthy relationship a person should run from.

 

All but one set under performs. Unless there is a tie for best set... that's how rankings work. (yes I am just giving you a little bit of fun)

What's a decent recharge time for MoG? I don't have it in my current build, but I can see that everyone else is highly recommending it. Is it worth it to build around or just a nice "oh crap" button?

People are not "averse to a set that doesn't rely on toggles" - they are averse to the lack of layered protection that most other sets provide, and with proper end management, who cares about toggles?  They are just a method of having a power apply a continual effect without it being an auto power.  It's not really that complicated;  More forms of protection or more robust forms of a single method of mitigation, are superior to just healing...

Raw super reflexes is better than just regen. 

but this is a classic discussion with no real solution. The issue on live was known. If you give regen adequate healing for content, it's too much. If you don't give them enough, it's feeble. Healing is a pretty dangerous thing to give players a lot of. What do you do then? The sensible solutions all involve sucking regen's soul out and replacing it with a new power set under the same name. 

Edit: Which I personally would not mind. But it's understandable this hasn't been done in all this time either.
