Totally music for you.

Anyways...my questions are this:

1 - The nemesis. Does their flamethrower attack has any other component aside from AoE/Fire?

2- Freaks. Do their Electricity attacks have any other component aside from Ranged/Energy?

I'm pretty sure the answer to the above two questions is no, but it never hurts to ask.

3- Are there any maps suitable for farming that contain mobs aside from the above? I'm talking mainly about mobs like Family, Praetorian warriors (like the ones in BM farm)..or anything that uses attacks with S/L components all the time?

Thanks in advance.

Wonder if it'd be worth it to not worry about ranged and see if I can get 45 S/L/N/E.

My problem is Regen seems to want a considerable amount of slots compared to other scrapper secondaries, to the point that I can't effectively slot my attacks. It seems I almost have to choose between having the strongest attacks, or having the strongest heals, but I can't have both.

I've read several guides on Regen, and I swear one of them had suggested slotting that used more slots than are available, or at least enough suggested slotting for your primary/secondary to where good luck if you need some slots for your pools/epic powers.

From my understanding in general you need to 5-6 slot your click heals, 3-5 slot Fast Healing, 3-4 slot Integration, 3-4 slot Quick Recovery, and 3-4 slot MoG. That's anywhere from 27-36 slots used. Given with most scrapper primaries you'll have 5-6 attacks that you'll definitely want at least 5-slotted and Build Up then you're spending 28-39 slots on your primary. At best that leaves you with 12 slots for pools and epics. If you take Tough/Weave there's at least 6 slots gone there. Hasten gobbles up another 2 and that leaves 4 left over slots for Epic powers. Dunno about you but that doesn't seem like enough to me.

It seems if I ever want to play a Regen scrapper I'm always going to have to choose whether I want to have my cake or eat it, and I hate making those kinds of decisions

Also, if you want a little bit more survivability, +HP and +Regen work great with defense sets. You won't notice anything from losing the psi defense. I've "tanked" a MoLRSF before with my Fort with minimal problems.

A native level 20 character is most likely still equipped with DO-strength enhancements, and doesn't have nearly as many slots available as a (say) level 50 who's exemplaring back with set IOs. (Set IOs and HOs help mitigate enhancement scaling.) The concern I have with these critters is their strength against native level characters they're arrayed against. They're still mean against a wide array of characters (I maintain they'd be mean if they existed as level 50 mobs), but they're radically hard for a native level character.
