Max Health Decreasing Randomly

BladedMischief

My max health, across the whole game, is 18.9K. Yet, after every encounter, that health randomly decreases by around 100-500 each fight. The lowest it's dropped so far without causing me to die is 12.3K. It actually dropped my health to 12.3K max. Even with fully repaired gear, and a food buff active.
I first noticed this in Castle Thorn after the first group of adds. I started out at 18.9K, and had dropped to 17.8K for no reason. My food was still active, and my gear was fully repaired.
This bug is making it extremely hard to survive any mildly difficult content. And honestly, it's stressful.
I've tried restarting the game. I've tried clearing the save data. I've tried removing and re-equipping my gear and food. And nothing has fixed this issue.
It now happens across all characters, and is starting to affect ALL of my stats. Magicka, health and stamina.

That does seem weird. I would suggest posting a video of it, if possible.

18.9 to 17.8k drop could be moving too far away from the tank in Ebon, but wouldnt explain drop to 12k.

It happens across the entire game. Not just in dungeons. Even when I'm doing stuff on my own, it happens.

You're not a warden, by any chance, are you? You could be activating the Minor Toughness passive that increases your health when you're healed by a warden or use an animal skill. It wears off after like 20 seconds, which would reduce your health back down. That's the only other thing that I can think of.

Nope, not a warden
This issue happens even when I'm playing solo and there's no other players around me.

Which 5-piece sets are you using, or better yet, which sets do you use in their entirety. Because if your using certain sets that offer max health bonuses, even a small one, bar swapping depending on the piece positioning of armor/weapons can cause max health fluctuations.

On an additional side note, I find that repairing gear before entering a group dungeon is a good idea as individual pieces that are empty on durability can usually affect your max health via passives, such as the heavy armor passive that gives you 2% extra max health for each piece of heavy armor worn, but when they degrade to nothing, it reduces that bonus until repaired.

Edit: forgot to mention there is also the Mythic “Thrassian stranglers” which was changed recently so that it reduces max health and damage shield effectiveness but increases weapon/spell damage. Max health reduction from the stranglers caps a -6000.

See, I use Thrassian Stranglers. But the issue happens on all of my characters. Some of which don't even have set gear like the others do as they're not at CP yet.
On my main character where I first noticed the issue, I wear Julianos and Infalliable.

And do “all” your characters happen to be wearing thrassian stranglers, because you can get more of the same mythic by collecting their parts as well as reconstructing them at a transmute station for 25 transmute crystals.

Not all of them wear Thrassian.
Thats beside the point though. The issue shouldn't be across all characters if I'm only wearing TS on one character.

Try unequipping the stranglers on whatever characters have them, then see if it's still happening.

That would be a wild bug but who knows.
