What Is Health Regen And Health Regen %

Can someone tell me what health regen and health regen % because I have been seeing it on some armor and i have no idea what the difference is between them?

 

The normal "Health Regeneration" identification will increase the amount of regeneration you receive by a flat number; while the % one will increase it relative to the regeneration you already have!

E.g, assume you have 50 health regeneration.

+ 50 Health Regen. = 100 Health Regeneration, while
+ 50% Health Regeneration = 75 Health Regeneration

 

ok, but which one is better?

 

Thanks :)
You just confirmed what I was thinking. Someone said the % would affect how fast the hp will regen but considered every other percentage changes the amount of the raw stat this didnt make any sense.

 

that depends on how much health regeneration you already have;
creating a function in order to see how they compare is quite useful, but in general it's easy to calculate it.

If you have 75 Health Regeneration, and find a chestplate with +100 you'll have 175 afterwards
If you have 75 Health Regeneration, and find a chestplate with +100% you'll have 150 (25 less) afterwards

but as numbers increase, you'll eventually see that % beats the flat boost:

If you have 175 Health Regeneration, and find a chestplate with +100 you'll have 275 afterwards
If you have 175 Health Regeneration, and find a chestplate with +100% you'll have 350 (75 more) afterwards

 

so i have 2 helmets called Marrow
1.+23% health regen and +47 health regen
2.+25% health regen and +43 health regen
which one is better?
(this is waay to complicated for me :( )

 

1.23 * 47 = 57.81
1.25 * 43 = 53.75

Assuming this is the only piece of armor you're wearing, I'd go with the 23% Health Regen helmet. If you have any +X Health Regen on any other gear, then these calculations won't be valid.

 

I have +22% and +3 health regen on my other gear

 

Percentages are only useful if you have a large "raw" or base health regen. Otherwise, you'll only receive minimal increases with the percentage health regen.

I would suggest finding gear with a substantial amount of base regen, and then focus on increasing the percentage. With 50 as a base, 100% health regen will only get you to 100 base health regen.

The problem now is to find armor with base health regen. It seems like only 5% of armor has the stat, and then sometimes it is negative...
(I do NOT recommend going for negative base regen armor as you can actually lose health automatically rather than regain it.)

 

Snail helm/boots are really good for this (about 200 raw each), by Ignis build has over 1000 raw regen

By the way, you all have it all wrong. %Health regen decreases the time between regens, not increases how much you regen.

 

If this is true about percentage regen affecting speed, then why do I never see a difference with the regen timing? I always thought with a percentage it increases the raw/base amount by the percentage given.

Also, several posters above me believed the same thing I did. Maybe this needs a bit of clarification to avoid confusion?

 

To be honest I personally have no idea now. I actually believe neither of the two option because I tested it and it neither increased the speed (5 seconds without 0% and still 5 seconds with 100%) nor the amount of health added (~115 hp after 5 seconds with 0% and still ~115 hp added with 26%). Maybe its bugged maybe not but for me it had no influence on health regen at all.

 

raw hp regen is better but with say 300 raw hp regen if you get a 100% raw hp regen gear (those exist)
you could DOUBLE your hp regen making 600 hp regen

 

:O I was not aware of that. Oops!

 

Same here. I had around 1200 raw health regen at one point without % regen. Added a piece of gear with around 15% regen and it didn't make any difference at all, nor did it speed up the regen rate.

 

The % hp regen is only effective upon low hp. Which renders raw hp regen superior.
