Regeneration

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

Overview

Regeneration is one of the power sets. It is a secondary power set for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers.

Regeneration lets you regenerate more quickly from damage and effects. Regeneration offers almost no actual damage resistance, but your Hit Point and Endurance Regeneration can become so incredibly fast, that your wounds heal almost instantly. Those who possess this power set have little downtime, but risk the effects of spike damage.

Powers

The following are powers in the Regeneration powerset.

Dull Pain

Using ancient techniques, you can make yourself more resilient to pain. Thus, you can take more damage before being defeated. When you activate this power you will increase your maximum Hit Points for a couple of minutes.

Recharge Very Long Minimum Level 10 (Brute) 10 (Scrapper) 10 (Stalker) Effects Self Heal, +Max Health Enhancements Reduce Endurance Cost Enhance Heal Increase Attack Rate Set Categories Healing/Absorb

Fast Healing

You heal Hit Points at a faster rate than normal. This power is always on.

Minimum Level 1 (Brute) 1 (Scrapper) 2 (Stalker) Effects Auto: Self +Regeneration, +Resistance(Regeneration Debuff) Enhancements Enhance Heal Set Categories Healing/Absorb

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.

Instant Healing

When you activate this power, you can regenerate your health at an astounding rate. This boost to your regeneration rate lasts about a minute and takes a long time to recharge once used.

Integration

You can Integrate your mind and body, making you resistant to Knockback, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, and Immobilization effects, as well as increase your regeneration rate, for as long as you can keep this toggle power active. (Brutes only: Integration also taunts nearby foes.)

Moment of Glory

When you activate this power, you gain Resistance and Defense to all damage types except Psionics, recover Endurance more quickly, and are highly resistant to Knockback, Sleep, Disorient, Immobilization, and Hold effects.

Recharge Very Long Minimum Level 38 (Brute) 38 (Scrapper) 38 (Stalker) Effects Self +Defense(All Damage but Psionics), +Resistance(All Damage but Psionics, Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize, Knockback, Repel), +Recovery Enhancements Enhance Defense Buffs Enhance Endurance Modification Reduce Endurance Cost Increase Attack Rate Enhance Damage Resistance Set Categories Defense Resist Damage Endurance Modification

Through perfect control of your body, you can concentrate for a few moments and heal yourself. The effects of Reconstruction also leaves you resistant to toxic damage for a while.

Resilience

You are more Resilient. This power allows you to build up a resistance to Disorientation effects. You tend not to get disoriented, and if you do, it wears off quickly. This resistance to disorientation gets stronger as you go up in level. Resilience also grants some resistance to all types of damage. This power is always on.

Minimum Level 20 (Brute) 20 (Scrapper) 20 (Stalker) Effects Auto: Self +Resistance(All, Disorient) Enhancements Enhance Damage Resistance Set Categories Resist Damage

Revive

Should you fall in battle, you can Revive yourself from the brink of death. You will revive with most of your Hit Points and half your Endurance and be protected from XP debt for 90 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 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, 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.
