Vampire Health regen passive

Ommamar

Is this broke? I put a skill point into it and notice no difference in the description or the actual game play.

It's not health it's magic and stam 10% regen. In case you didn't notice vampires aren't big on health regen.

I believe he is referring top the "Unnatural Resistance Passive " which -"Reduces the severity of the Health Recovery determent in Vampirism stages 2 through 4."

@Ommamar

It may not update the tooltip description in your character sheet. Did you look at your actual health recovery number before and after putting the skill point in?

Are you stage 2-4?

I didn't look as I figured it would work. Yes I usually run around at stage 4, I even went to town after I put the point in to get back to stage 1 to see if it had to cycle or something. The description still reads the same no idea about the actual numbers. By the comment I am guessing it worked for you?

If I recall correctly, a long time ago when I made my first vamp character I thought the same thing. After looking into it further I thought I determined it was working.

The best way to know would be to look at your actual numbers. Unfortunately the tooltip is vague, and does not give any hard numbers as to how much it reduces the severity of the health regen passive.

Assuming you are CP 160+ your base health regen should be 309. (This would be without any racial passives or gear that boosts Health Regen).

Vampire Stage 4 reduces your regen by 75%, so this would put you at 77.

So if you are Vamp stage 4, have no health regen bonuses from racial or gear, and your health regen is somewhere above 77 I would assume the passive is working.

At the end of the day, health regen is relatively ineffective in this game since the base is so low at 309. If your regen is 309, or 150, or zero for that matter, it is blown away by most heal over time abilities that can tick for 50x the heals. So I wouldnt be too concerned if your health regen is low, because it is relatively low on any player that is not focusing their build around health regen.

If you do want to make a health regen build, you are going to need to drop vampire, as vamp and health regen are mutually exclusive.
