Don't undervalue the -Regen component on Poison Dart.

While against minions, it works out to often-negligible damage, against very big opponents (EBs, AVs, GMs, Hamidon) it effectively scales with their hit points.

AVs, GMs and Hamidon may strongly resist the -Regen effect, but they also have such incredibly high HP that "hit points they don't get back" can become a significant (albeit unenhanceable) portion of the attack's damage

As I'm having difficulty viewing RedTomax, I'll speak in formulas only.

First, determine the enemy's HP regeneration rate in HP/sec
Second, determine the enemy's resistance to -Regen by level difference (reducing the power's base effectiveness) and by type/level (eg, Romulus resists 80% of the -Regen debuff)
Third, determine the effective Regen debuff that would apply (25% x effectiveness%)
Fourth, multiply the Regen debuff that would apply against their Regen rate (69.95 x 5%)
Fifth, multiply the number above by the duration (I think it was 10s, but I can't recall for sure...in which case it's like doing another 34.98 damage per attack against Romulus).

Note that Regen debuffs, at most, can only take ALL of an enemy's regeneration away. Against non-resisting enemies, this means that the regeneration debuff is no longer beneficial after the 4th perma-stacked debuff.

The general rule, though, is that the bigger the enemy is, the better Poison Dart performs (in the Romulus case, it's DPA is roughly 71.51 before slotting...though the Toxic and -Regen effects are not affected by any +damage you might have or slot)

But seriously...cool stuff!

Updated The Razorclaws.

Blue Steel's Power Level is OVAH NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!eleventY!!!!!!!one!!!11!!

A note on Regenerative Tissue in Fast Healing:

Fast Healing provides a base regen of 75%
Regenerative Tissue provides a regen bonus of 25%
Slotting a single, white SO in Fast Healing increases its regen from 75% to 100%, yielding a regen boost of 25%

Generally speaking, an SO provides the same benefit in Fast Healing as the Regenerative Tissue proc.

Though there are exceptions.

When exemplared to low levels, SOs can have their benefits severely cut. The Regenerative Tissue proc remains at 25%

When zoning, the Regenerative Tissue proc can temporarily stack with itself.

If you already have a 95%+ enhancement bonus in Fast Healing, Regenerative Tissue ignores the effects of ED.

Generally speaking, though, it provides very little bang for the buck. If you've taken health, it's better in there (where the single, white SO is only worth 13.3%, anyway)

Powers don't cause lag. Crying does. Don't cry about lag.

You wanted more? You get more.

By the way, Annette Razorclaw hates you all (but that's okay, she hates me, too).

Furthermore, in PvP, if your base has a functioning medbay, you can very quickly jump to base for some empowerment buffs.

I have, at least once, intentionally self-droned as the fastest way to get to my base. I then exit via the base portal, get droned again, and hit the hospital fully buffed.

Pool powers do things your primary and secondary can't - so take as many as you can!

Maybe it's been this way for a while, and I just noticed it today, but...

Empowerment buffs shut down in PvP zones?

EDIT: Ah...correction. There's just a long down-time on the buffs when you're rezzed.

I think they should make the Empowerment buff icons blue instead of white.

Awesome change! (Seriously - there are enough unused shades of blue for power icons that they could find one that really makes empowerments stand out from any primary or secondary toggle/autos)

*rimshot*

I find the status resistances to be really sub-par. Would it be so bad to make them, say, Mag 2 protection?
