Willow's Path Set Bonus Bugged?

Tested quite a bit on multiple characters with identical crafted sets. Stam recovery, Magicka recovery and Health recovery does not go up at all when I'm in combat.

Anyone else have experience trying this set? Is it possible the recovery goes up by 15% as indicated in the set bonus, but it is simply not displayed on character stats? From what I can tell by using abilities outside of combat and then in combat, it does not seem to be a UI error, but actually not working at all.

I seem to recall at one time in the past, testing this set I was able to see the recovery bonus on the character sheet.

    I've always liked the Willow set for sustainability or Tanking. So the 5th piece is actually working now? If so that will be good news.

    From what I been seeing, Willow's Path 15% combat recovery is applying all the time rather than just in combat as stated in bonus.

    The regen you see on your stat sheet are IN COMBAT regen stats. Out of combat regen is different. The set does work somewhat. As far as I know, it's bugged in that it doesn't stack eith anything else, as it is supposed to.

    When I removed the 5th piece, recovery stats were exactly the same. There was no 15% bonus at all in the character sheet.

    It stacks with your base stats but it will not stack with any major buff or minor or any other "buff" other than on a raw stat basis. Not saying it should not... but if it did it would make this a very lovable set... I still use it on stamina due to it allowing me to be very versatile and malleable. "be like water"

    It should stack though since dps stacks very nicely..

    Tried no drinks, with drinks, with potion, without potion, etc. and same set on various characters, but there was zero change with 5th piece. The only bonus that ever showed on character sheet were the 2pc/3pc/4pc bonuses.

    In light of this information, I'm probably still going to use Willow's Path as it still provides a very large chunk of recovery; as far as I can tell it does work with permanent forms of recovery including champion points, just not temporary / short duration ones.

    I believe that any percentage buffs do not apply to food or drinks... They do however apply to glyphs on your apparel. So in order for Willow's Path to be effective, using regen glyphs on jewelry.

    Very interested in if it is working now, have a whole Legendary VR16 set in my bank waiting to be used..

    Seems to be working, stacks 15% recovery properly with everything tested except drinks. With drinks it adds about 10%.

    Character 1 (V10 Imperial NB)
    • V10 Willow Path blue 109/109/109 mag/health/stam recovery
    • 3pc night silence 109 stam recovery
    • ww 15% stam passive
    • 6pc med 24% wind walker passive
    • V10 drink (439 mag/stam)
    • mooncalf CP passive 12.9% stam recovery
    • battle rush 30% after enemy killed
    • refreshing shadows health/mag/stam 15%

    qAmxdZB.png


    Character 2 (V8 Khajiit NB)
    • V8 Willow Path blue 105/105/105 mag/health/stam recovery
    • 3pc night silence 105 stam recovery
    • necklace 117 stam recovery
    • mooncalf CP passive 11% stam recovery
    • V5 drink (498 stam recovery)
    • 6pc med 24% wind walker passive
    • battle rush 30% after enemy killed
    • refreshing shadows health/mag/stam 15%

    lzoamOx.png

    One other thing I noticed is that stam potions (Major Endurance) is only granting 13-14% recovery instead of 20%, and Battle Rush is only granting 20% instead of 30% - this is regardless of whether you are using willow's or not.

    Also, didn't test with Mundus or racial recovery passives yet.

    Are you maybe counting the Continuous Attack pvp buff, alliance war buffs or playing on a campaign with no champion points? Otherwise, can't think of why your recovery would be different.

    Agreed. It is very noticable when I forget to drink or the timer expires when farming NPCs and such.
    Its the difference betwen comfortable and struggling....even without watching the stats.
    I sit there thinking....whoa....have I been nerfed or something.....then check the character stats :)

    .

    That´s not the point tho.
    It ignores drinks which results in a difference of roughly 250 magicka and stamina recovery in case you use blue drinks and standard percent increases.

    Saying it increases stats by an additional 10% instead of 15% is wrong. It ignores drinks and that´s the only way how to describe it.
    Telling Bugmax that you get less percent won´t bring them close to a fix.. but tbh neither does telling them where exactly the bug slacks around..
