Regeneration and Recovery upcoming changes?

[Archived Post]

I read somewhere in a post that regen would no longer be affected by recovery anymore. One of my superstats is recovery for the regen bonus as small as it seems to be. I tank alot and was wondering if i should move my superstat from recovery to either strength for the dmg bonus and knock resist or to presence to generate more aggro. Even if there is no change should i shift my superstats anyway? Does recovery really do that much for regen?

Right now recovery is good, a regen tank should 100% be Con / Rec but you didn't mention your other SS so I can't see whether you have con or not.

When f2p hits on the 25th all passives except deifiance will now scale on superstats. So if you have 100 pre and 100 dex your regen will be the same strength as someone who has 100 ego and 100 int.

Sorry i didnt mention but yes my other super stat is con. So after the changes should i go with Pre/Con or Str/Con. I mostly build aggro off pyre/thermal reverb and shred with crippling. I also use circle of primal dominion for cosmics. Dont really think i have much aggro trouble but i do get knocked around alot so i am leaning towards Str/Con. Thoughts?

Pre Con would be optimal but I don't tank so thats just my theory, in case he doesn't post in here you should try pming Mr.Funsocks, he runs several tank toons apparently so he is probably the best person to ask :)

Hoping this post is new enough to get a response... I was wondering what powers to use on a regen tank? I tried primarily might attacks with unbreakable/resurgence/masterful dodge click "heals" but in duels at least it lacks oomph.

SS con/pre with plenty of dex int and end atm (through pts debugger gear and talents) any help or suggestions would be great.
Despite having lots of end, energy management was still a problem, i'd have to waste lot of time using my energy builder, so any ways round that would be great also :)

Force Shield with Force Sheath is a good way to help with energy generation. Just tap your shield to activate the Sheath and you'll build end every time you're hit, even while you're attacking.

Yeah force sheath is great early on in the fight when there's a lot of mobs hitting, but unless the master villains are fast hitters like purple gang MVs it starts to lose its effectiveness. I'll re-gear for ego (since the energy return from FS scales with it) and let you know if it's any better :)
