MA/REGEN after I5 and ED, suggestions?

[skyhawke]

I'm thinking of remaking my scrapper on Virtue into a MA/REGEN. With I5 and ED in mind, does anyone have any advice for me? I've never taken REGEN past lvl 5 before so, I'm pretty much a noob with it from a first hand perspective.

I've started thinking about it with ED in mind...nothing up yet, since i'm planning on possibly making either an MA/Regenner or an MA/Invuln hero with one of my new slots.

Wow, looks pretty solid Definate thumbs up, I'm curious, right now with my dm/regenner I have tough/weave, do you think with the new ED changes that they're worth picking up? (As you can tell i'm not the numbers type)

[skyhawke]

Since I5, I've heard that tough and weave don't pack the punch they used to. Also, I'm hoping this build will allow for a continual attack string with minimal end usage which, in theory, leads to less foes standing and less damage coming in. I guess time will tell

[Remianen]

Build looks good. Just a few changes I'd make:

I'd replace one of the end redux enhancements in the attacks with accuracy. Why? Because you don't start the game at 44, you've gotta GET there and I think hitting more often will be a lot more beneficial to that effort than just less end used per futile swing. More misses = spent end with no benefit IMO.

Next, replace the end redux in Integration with Heals. Integration uses next to no end as it stands now so increasing its healing effect gives you more bang for your buck.

I wouldn't get revive, personally. I'd use that slot for Cobra Strike (another situational power but last I checked, there was no inspiration that provided an almost guaranteed disorient effect whereas revive....).


I apologize if it's a bit brusque but I'm trying to find a way to reconcile ED with my scrapper concept (think: regen tanker. That's how they all can function). It's not going well either.

[Lynch329]

I left the game/boards for like 3 weeks what the heck is ED? Is that the new Issue coming out? Also does this mean I can't go to the focal point of Issue 5 anymore or will they leave that up?

This is how I respecced my MA/Regen for I6 and ED:

Level: 28
Archetype: Scrapper
Primary: Martial Arts
Secondary: Regeneration

How come you chose stealth? I am trying to respec but dont really know what to do

[Sword]

I took Stealth because it fit the character concept (sorta ninjay) and when you combine Stealth with Super Speed you get close to invisibility


Edit: I see the build posted here isn't 100% correct. I ended up going Hasten and Super Speed instead of Combat jumping and Super Jump.
