Hmmm. I have Leadership on my Katana/Regen. Heck, I have Leadership on all three of my purpled-out Scrappers. So I'm not saying to skip it. But I would personally draw a big distinction between "lead his group into the fray" and "must take Leadership pool". Leading the team into battle is an action you take, for which you may want tank-like survivability, or at least tank-like burst survivability, which is fortunately something Regen can handle. The pool is just a set of low magnitude team buffs that just happens to be named "Leadership". If they'd named it "The Team Buffs Pool" or "Group Hug!" would that change anything for you? So I guess my advice there is to worry about what powers DO, not what they're named.
Still, I think we can stick with those requirements OK. For leveling, I'd probably suggest Speed (Hasten) and Fitness (Swift, Health, Stamina) for your other two pools. In the end game, you might respec from Fitness to Fighting (Tough), using Physical Perfection and some attack frankenslotting to take care of the loss of Stamina's endurance recovery. While the game is simple enough that no power pool is truly essential, I consider a proper selection of a lot of pool powers to at least be a very, very good idea.
Your absolutely-must-take Broad Sword power is Parry. It's not a great attack, but it keeps you alive. From a numbers standpoint, that's pretty much the only reason to select Broad Sword over other secondaries. I would also definitely include Hack, Disembowel and Head Splitter. I'd take Build Up. Unless you're making a single-target specialist (not recommended for general play), I'd take at least one of Slice and Whirling Sword, maybe both. Personally, I'd probably go Slice at a low level, then respec into Whirling Sword in the mid to late game (I usually respec once while leveling, usually in the mid to late 30s). Slash is skippable. Confront should be skipped unless you're doing something very specific with it, such as PvP, in which case you'd probably want an alternate PvP build anyway.

Werner has pretty much said everything I would have told you, though I'd like to emphasize one thing the said: "leading into the fray" isn't a power, it's an action you take as a player. Just because you took the Leadership pool doesn't mean you're an effective leader. It just means that you have some pool power team buffs that will make you a bit more useful to your team.
Here's a relatively inexpensive (no PvP, no purps) IO build that fulfills everything you're asking for. Remember this though: */Regen is clicky no matter which primary you pair it with. Reconstruction, Dull Pain, Instant Healing, and Moment of Glory are all incredibly powerful powers that you do a disservice to yourself if you ignore. */Regen isn't about passive survivability; it's about active survivability. If you wanted passive survivability where you just turn it on and beat stuff in the face, you probably want */WP.

Hello, wise men and trolls of the forum.
I would like to receive some advice how to skill my Broadsword / Regeneration Scrapper.
First of, some information:
I would like to Fly and I want my scrapper to lead his group into the fray.
So two of the pools must be Leadership Pool and Flying Pool.
After this,I am open to suggestions.
In BS, what skills should i definitly take, what fits well with the secondary powers ?
What skills should I avoid, can I avoid.
Should other Powerpools be taken, will they be essential for a build.
I have read some of the posts an guides but still would like to receive some more insights form you people here.
Thank you for your constructive information.
Greetings, Nashrak
