Does Regen need some love?

I think the tradeoff for regen should be just the fact that you die so much easier. Problem is that it's so ludicrously slow, too. A Fade returns to base and comes back faster than regen tops you off, and Onos? Takes really, reaaally long to get full health with regen.

Reducing the time-after-combat-before-regen-kicks-in into 5 seconds was nice, but I think the healing rate could use some loving too. 30% buff maybe?

Thoughts? Do you use regen often? What about if marine team has some nasty shotgunners? :3

I find it best for the lerk, who takes a shot or two and has a relatively low hp pool to regen. Making the heal scale more with higher hp counts would be great.

I have never used it since it was nerfed. It is so much faster just going back to a hive.. it is a useless upgrade currently.

IMO regen is useless. I mostly play lerk and regen is most valuable with lerk but it doesn't heal right away so there is no point in getting it. You can just fly to hive and get carapace instead.

Regen should scale with HP but only heal health, not armor. Likewise, Crags should be changed to heal armor first and a much faster rate than it does now.

Silence has a synergy with the Shade's Cloak, Adrenaline has a synergy with the Shift's Energy Restoration; this would give a synergy between Regen and the Crag. Bang, Crags are stronger and more useful without making aliens invincible or making Gorges obsolete.

There either needs to be a mechanic in the game again where you can get Cara + Regen or Regen needs a boost

I've always hated the delays on cloaking and regen after getting into a fight. . .

Cloak delay needs to be toned down so that Lerks can cloak while gliding and regen should work anytime you're not on fire

I did forget Lerk, yeah I occasionally take regen for lerk, because it's great for harassing. Makes you a ridiculously easy target for shotgunners though, so keep your distance. ._.

The other thing is that it's pretty much never researched before carapace so you're pretty much stuck with carapace on your first higher lifeform.

PureHostility

I take regen over carapace anytime for Skulk and Lerk.

They are already so fragile, that if focused, carapce won't save you at all.

I've got mixed feelings about fade though...
If I'm using very harassing fade style, I go with regen, though If I want to slash through marines, I'm still not decided what to choose.


But yea, too bad, everyone takes cara first...
But god... bless me when I have a comm that takes camo first...
