Is Health Regen A Stat Worth Investing In?

Basically title.

Does health regen only work when out of combat? Is it a stat worth investing in for a warrior build? Or is life steal just objectively better?

 

Theres question section. Regen is usually too low to be useful unless you stack a lot with a specific tank endgame build.

 

Regen is always active (even when in combat). The way it works is every ten seconds you get X amount of health (notice that it's not X overtime, but instead a single burst).
I could be wrong but I think that's it.

 

Here's Jaydon the Warrior with an ultra-tanky Guardian build that utilizes 8k health regen: https:///youtu.be/ivLBu4uKKnw?t=453
Tanking without potions is really the only reason to build health regen crazily (by having very high health + health regen %). Having decent health regen is also good for mage/shaman, but you aren't building thousands like you may with a Guardian warrior.

Of course, it may also be useful if you're a support mage, but who does that?

Technically you could also use this to tank as any class...but let's just say it's not recommended.

 

13.2k now.

 

Its a nice stat to have, although you don't notice it functioning most of the time.

 

Imo it's worth having positive health regen, just so you don't die while afking. Life steal works much faster, and even with a little bit of it you heal way faster.

 

You cant die woth -hpr, you will have only one hp

 

Or just.... don’t afk....

 

Do you never have to go to the toilet or something?

You'll still be in a bad spot if you do get that close to death, you'll die instantly if you get hit

 

/class exists no?

 

Depends on your level and class
mage no
shaman maybe...haven't experimented with it yet
archer and assassin can work as additions to your defense just to keep you alive a little longer
warrior...YES YES YES YES YES
as said above jaydon has a 13k+ hpr guard build. I myself use a 7k+ hpr crafted hero build and also intend to utilize minor hpr on my idol build I am currently working on.
At lower levels I would say in general it doesn't matter all that much but around level 90 you begin gain access to really powerful hp regen items making it worth using (the hpr curve isn't very balanced)
Unfortunantly the strongest hp regen builds utilize mythic boots (Boreal) however it is 100% possible to make a strong hpr build using Cracklers, Sempiternel, or Nether's scar...I suppose Gaea-hewn and Resurgence also would probably work but I have yet to mess around with them in hpr builds...

 

On the contrary, I find that low-level hpr options like Heliophilia prove invaluable for healing significant proportions of health potionlessly over time. As for endgame builds, unless you have a lot of hpr, you're quickly going to find the stat obsolete even against casual mobs in Sky Islands or Silent Expanse, whom can potentially net a few thousand onto you in damage within a few seconds.

________________________________

Even positive hpr isn't going to save you from a mob hitting you while you're afk. You would need a full tank build for that.

 

Aw that's kind of lame. If it's in bursts I guess it's rather difficult to predict when it can bounce back? So you need pots to fill the gaps?

Wait that sound kind of nuts xd

Does your damage take a toll? Do you build the health regen into a casting build or a melee one? I'm trying to figure out a warrior build rn for lvl 103.

________________________________

Damn, looks like all these super high regen options have a down side for damage. Boreal looks kind of ridiculous though ngl, sucks that its a mystic RIP.

 

Not really, I guess? I don't have any negative damages, but guardian doesn't do very high damage anyways.
I have 11 mana regen, but only 40 int, so I do mostly spells.

 

Thanks dude! I don't have guardian or some insane gear, but I'll try to build a decent health regen spell-based warrior too.

 

Do you have an Ignis?

No: then no

Yes: Yes

 

Ignition doesn't even have health regen..

What in God's name are you smoking.

 

I'm not sure why, but I read that ignition.
Good job me.
