Hey All,

MA and /regen are both new powersets for me and my character is currently at level 27.

Looking at others builds, it seems as if almost everyone takes the fitness pool. I'm not against the fitness pool and i can't think of any of my characters that don't have it. My /WP brute has it as well. But, I would rather have 3 powers from other pools if possible.

My questions include:

1. Does Health give any noticeable improvement in regen rate? Or is it not that significant when you add in all the other regeneration that you have?

2. Is stamina needed if i have Quick Recovery, Miracle unique, Numina unique, and PS chance of + end? I will also have other recovery set bonuses. Influence is not an issue.

This is for pve, although i may want to pvp with it later, and would take fitness in second build if i do so.

Thanks in advance

It's not that much really. The biggest difference it does for characters with no native regen is the ability to slot heal uniques on top of enhanced Health which allows you to double your base regen.

People do just fine with Stamina alone. Add Miracle, Numina and PS procs and it just gets better. Oh, and QR is more powerful than Stamina anyway.

No. With default slotting, you'll have roughly 500% +regen, not counting all of the damage recovery you're packing from Recon, DP, and IH. Health provides only 40%.

It depends on your build. If you have decent amounts of end redux slotted, you can easily go without Stamina, especially if you also took Body Mastery for CP and/or Physical Perfection. In general, you want to get roughly 3 end/sec net passive endurance gain (passive recovery - passive end consumption).

On an IO'd */Regen Scrapper, Fitness is completely optional. If anything, I would generally recommend against it because you can do a lot more with those 3 power choices and endurance assistance beyond the point of infinite endurance sustainability is redundant.
