I can't really figure out a good point of emphasis to work on with him.
So essentially I'm just wanting to know what some other people have done with their claws/regen toons, with the notion that hearing some of these ideas might provide me with some inspiration.
Thanks.

Im still pretty much on a 5th grade math level in my current "mental" state so if a really smart number cruncher wants to give us some insight that would be awesome. Thanks!

I always found it odd that at 50 there wasn't some sort of costume related mission. You get them at 20, 30, and 40 so why is 50 lacking? I think there should be something mission wise that happens at 50. Some sort of "Hero of the City" mission where you perhaps help the Freedom Phalanx and are award the second aura, additional costume, special badge, temp power, whatever. Just another way of saying congrats on 50.

In the case of Elec Armor, only one power (not the set) gives psi resistance (Static Shield). That doesn't mean any or all others in the set should, simply because one power happens to do so. That premise is not conducive with how the powersets in the game tend to work. Toxic resistance tends to be similar in that it may appear in one power of a set, but not in any other power of the set.

It's very rare to get that level of psionic resistance at all, which was kinda the point we were making before. To have it in Power Surge, at the level Power Surge brings your resistances, would be very much off of what other sets can generate. Even with just Static Shield 3 slotted, you're at just under 42% Psionic Resistance, which is very nice for that attribute.

It is just the way it is.

Why would you consider it "un-skippable" ?
