Regeneration

This article is about the Regeneration Power Set. For information regarding the health regeneration gameplay mechanic, see Health Regeneration.

Overview

Regeneration is a standard power set that is a secondary set for Brutes, Scrappers, Sentinels, and Stalkers.

"Regeneration leads to powers that let you regenerate more quickly from damage and effects. Regeneration offers almost no actual damage resistance, but your Hit Point Regeneration can become so incredibly fast, that your wounds heal almost instantly. Those who possess this power set have little downtime."

Hide

Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden', a Stalker can pull off Critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassins Strike' with an Assassins power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to Defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.

Second Wind

When you use this power you will recover a percentage of your missing health, in addition to increasing your maximum hit points in a similar way. The less hit points you have left, the more powerful this effect will be. Should you fall in battle, you can use this power at its maximum strength to stand up and fight again. If used while defeated, you will be protected from XP Debt for 90 seconds and immune to most damage for 15 seconds.

Historical

This section contains information about changes that took place in City of Heroes. It is provided for historical purposes.

• This set has been in the game for Scrappers since Issue 0.
• Regeneration has been a long standing joke in the discussion of power "nerfs". This is mainly due to the fact that in early issues of the game regeneration was constantly changed.
• Instant Healing was originally a Toggle power, but was changed to a Click power in Issue 5.
• This set was included with the original release of Stalkers in Issue 6.
• Moment of Glory was originally a power which prevented all regeneration, took away almost all Hit Points, made the character immune to healing, and lasted for 195 seconds. After that, the buff of the power faded, leaving you with little health and no regeneration for a short while. The new version, introduced shortly after Issue 11, lasts 20 seconds and has no Hit Point penalty or crash.
• This set was proliferated to Brutes in Issue 21.
• Resilience was given resistance to all damage rather than just Smashing, Lethal and Toxic in Issue 21.
• This set was included with the release of Sentinels in Issue 25.
