I asked why...

Your attempted smear campaign against Regen is starting to irritate me

[ QUOTE ]
Regen is easy, and at higher lvls just sucks, in fact sucks all the way. DA is tricky and I wouldn't recommend it for a first scrapper.

[/ QUOTE ]

Please tell me why Regen sucks in the higher levels...

Yes, but he's talking about pure toxic damage - not an attack with a mix of toxic and lethal.

Pretty much anything is a good choice really.

And what is wrong with Regen? For soloing it's arguably the best secondary.

The passives give a base 5.625% resistance, which when 3-slotted becomes 8.72%. They would be pretty low priority powers for me to get, I'd rather get Tough and/or Aid Self instead - both will significantly boost your survivability.

Oh yes - I always slot 2 Acc SOs regardless of the primary, you can't have enough accuracy.

Definitely 2xAcc. I assume you're either BS or Kat, which only debuff defence by a small amount. I would replace that DefDebuff with either an End Reduction or Recharge, depending on your secondary.

Contrary to popular belief, Hot Feet isn't entirely autohit.

The slow and -fly effect is autohit, but the damage has a standard base accuracy of 75% in PvE, which can be enhanced. Unlike most attacks, it has a flat 75% chance of causing Containment damage - when containment is in effect the containment damage is autohit but has a 75% chance of actually occuring, which is seperate from the accuracy of the power and is unenhanceable.

but since DM has such erratic accuracy I kept acc slots in Smite and Shadow Maul even with FA slotted - call me paranoid but sometimes it's nice to have both belt and braces

[/ QUOTE ]

DM's low accuracy is a myth - it has the same base accuracy as Claws and Spines, the only reason why BS and Katana have a higher acc is because they have weapon redraw and MA's higher base accuracy is leftover from when the set used to be [censored].

The reason DM seems to have a lower accuracy than other Scrapper sets is because Shadow Maul has a very long animation which draws attention to the fact that it misses lots as well as a distinctive whiffing sound when you miss with most attacks.

Stamina and Quick Recovery 3-slotted (hmm, nearly wrote 6 there...oh the good old days...) will give you more than enough end, Dark Consumption will probably be made redundant. Also, if you end up slotting IO sets you will use even less end as they have an end reduction component.

As for slotting in the lower levels - I don't bother buying TOs but just stick whatever drops in the slots in powers. When I get to DO levels I tend to slot lots of accuracy, although now IOs are here I try to slot them if I have the inf.

Looks fine to me, although Integration doesn't really need 1 EndRdx let alone 2 - I'd probably take that second EndRdx out of Integration and slot another Fly Speed in Fly.

Nerf Regen! I vote the devs remove all powers except Revive and Quick Recovery...who's with me?

[/ QUOTE ]

And MoG!

[/ QUOTE ]

No, keep it but restrict /Regen Scrappers so that they can only fight Carnies. Sounds fair to me!

[ QUOTE ]
Not call yourself belligerent? but you are, first against Shannon, then Maelwys, then me..

[/ QUOTE ]

I asked Shannon what his signature meant. I have no idea what I said to Maelwys which was belligerent and as I have already said I would hardly regard what I said to you as belligerent.


[ QUOTE ]
and while you in your opinion may not be spamming technically, in MY opinion, simply posting something without any intellectual value is spamming.. again, in MY opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

Posting something without any intellectual value is spamming? I wonder if I've seen any examples of that in this thread... Oh wait!

[ QUOTE ]
Drifting off topic here, seeing as the OP has gotten his questions answered, unless someone has anything relevant to say concerning En/En lets move on shall we?

[/ QUOTE ]

You're lucky I'm a nice guy, otherwise I'd report you!!!!!!!!!!!!


[ QUOTE ]
and i treat people according to how they behave. In my world teenagers can earn my respect by acting mature and people in their 20s and 30s or higher lose it by the acting immature.

Your coming across as someone shoving people around itching for a fight, and thats how i treat you-

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm honoured!


[ QUOTE ]
Now, this has nothing to with En/En brutes, so this debate ends now.

[/ QUOTE ]

Once again I have to say - on what authority can you say that?

[ QUOTE ]

Sorry, who made you the forum police?


[/ QUOTE ]

I would hardly call that belligerent. I'd still like the proof that I'm "spamming" as well.


[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
unless someone has anything relevant to say concerning En/En lets move on shall we?

[/ QUOTE ]
is hardly telling people to move on but rather suggesting, no?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well it effectively is, and the tone as if speaking to a child can be considered as trolling as well.

I can ask you to stop spamming and trolling or report you, since im a nice guy, i start with asking politely.. don't make me angry, you wouldnt like it when im angry.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sure you're a nice guy, doesn't give you the authority to tell people to move on.

By the way, where have I been spamming and trolling?

Sorry, who made you the forum police?

Oh right. Talking about stating the obvious! Might as well put "Healing Aura is not bad healing" in my sig then...

Shannon, how exactly is Taunt amazing damage mitigation? Surely it is the opposite...

[/ QUOTE ]

You should know.

[/ QUOTE ]

I can't see how forcing foes to attack you will act as damage mitigation.

For Brutes the HP cap is 3212.69.

Shannon, how exactly is Taunt amazing damage mitigation? Surely it is the opposite...

[ QUOTE ]
WRT defense caps, it's unlikely you'll ever hit the hard cap (is it even a known value?) although the "soft cap" is 45%, for even lvls at least (I also assumed only even lvl minions, but I am unsure).

[/ QUOTE ]

It is a known value, somewhere around 300% or so if I remember correctly. It's not one that really matters in this game though.

[ QUOTE ]
Even lvls have a 50% chance to hit (and I mean to hit, not the quantity ToHit as I'm still unsure how their acc/tohit checks are calculated). There is always a base chance to hit of 5%, so 45% def puts them at the lowest chance of hitting you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Any minion up to +5 has a 50% chance to hit you, but different ranks have different accuracy modifiers. For example AVs have a 1.5 acc modifier so you can only 'cap' your defence to them at 43.5%, meaning they have a 5 * 1.5 = 7.5% chance to hit you.

Damn right. Far better than Inv!

Nerf Regen! I vote the devs remove all powers except Revive and Quick Recovery...who's with me?

As a Regen you don't need Conserve Power and I don't really think Assault and Tactics are worth it (especially with Focussed Accuracy). I'd swap those for Quills, Laser Beam Eyes and Energy Torrent.

Burn and the patron AoE immob is a great combination.
