For the vast majority of PvE play you should have no trouble. That's the main benefit of Regen having such a high level of flat-rate damage mitigation.

When facing a LOT of foes at once, or heavy-hitting bosses (such as those MA Council ones or Vanguard) or EBs/AVs, you will likely need a little extra mitigation. It's up to you whether you choose active mitigation such as knockdown or chewing insps, or passive mitigation such as extra Defence/Resistance via set bonuses or toggles. Or adjust tactics - you could "joust" foes by jumping in and out of melee range, or simply wait for Dull Pain + Instant Healing or MoG to recharge before fighting something that tough...

Concerning Knockdown, Air Superiority is very good at keeping Single-Targets flipped, and Energy Torrent is very good at negating "Alpha Strikes" from tightly-packed groups of foes. Both do fairly respectable levels of damage. With Fire/ I'd probably go for Energy Torrent to stack it with Fire Sword Circle (ET as you're jumping into a group to knock them down, then FSC when you're in the middle of them. Works great for my Spines/DA).

Sorry to forget your DM/Regen Umbral, I read the old US forum but not often enough to remember peoples toons (Though I do remember you for giving good advice ) so was going from what I could remember EU side.

Also I thought I had managed to get rid of this thread before anyone saw lol. Seems I failed.

However if has given me another question, which is how much +DEF should I be looking for if I did build a fire/regen (Considering aside from pvp IO's this is money no object)? Should I be aiming for 20ish% positional defence and making the recharge/regen do the rest of the work or is there a balance somewhere that I should be aiming for?

I guess I should also be asking about how much recharge I need and what the best attack chain is for fire melee, but I am sure I have read that someplace so will have a look myself rather than be considered too lazy.
