So what's the highest health recovery you can get? (Or other armor build challenges)

Bored and on break at work so....

Given the changes with armor and passives, health recovery seems more horrible than ever. Despite that, how much health recovery do you think you can stack? My current combo max

Khajiit racial passive
Heavy armor passive
5 x Orgnum's Scales heavy armor - helm, chest, belt, sword, shield
5 x willows path heavy armor - boots, legs, gloves, sword, shield
1 x engine guardian heavy shoulders
3 x warlock jewelry (for lack of anything appealing) (use health recovery runes)
100 CP into health recovery.

So, get knocked down to below 50%, boost your recovery, swap to willows path to boost it higher, use a health pot or still get murdered because folks stack up tons of burst attacks.

Need to test it to see the numbers, but anyone held has a better health recovery setup?

Also, what other wierd challenge builds are folks working on?

    if your going to do this also put 100 pts into,

    Quick Recovery under the Warrior - Lord.

    This will increase any healing done to yourself at 15.8% @100 CP.

    That and the +25% @100 CP from Healthy under the Thief-Lover, like you advised will make you pretty hard to kill.

    Kinda like a DK on steroids :wink:

    Since your kitty is also a DK, the more dragon abilities slotted the more health regeneration. Sorcerers have a 20% bonus in daedric line. Of course for max you can try v10 green health recovery drinks :). It's very nice in PVE, almost unkillable by groups of 4 or 5 mobs even doing nothing :).

    Fun times with this last night

    Found out that Orgnum's Scales passive only applies when the set is active, it gave no buff or proc when you swapped or when you went above 60%. Such a sad sad set -.-. On the flip side willows path performed quite well when stacked with green food, CP points, heavy armor, and health regen on the jewelry. If I kept my Vampire fed I could achieve around 4900 health regen with potion, not too bad. Sadly the best I could do on PVP was charge around and talons. Large groups also posed an issue, stunning through unstoppable and mist form with just ability spam. Oh, and those folks with 80%+ armor penetration were also an annoyance when they just kept spamming abilities, but hey, nothing new =3

    Meanwhile would I recommend this build? Nope! The health regen was ok since healing was nerfed but you hit like a wet noodle with this. Good for building ultimate, you can hit enemies and slowly chop away at them, but your stuck waiting for allies. In addition if your looking to survive, mitigation and shielding is still stronger =3

    Also hey @vortexman11 & @rishardnelsonb14_ESO, saw you both out there a few times as I was hopping around =3

    I managed to get near 5500 health regen in certain builds when I tested it in 1.6 due to my...OP Nord passive, but since The Serpent stone was changed its no longer that easy. I agree though, mitigation and shielding is still much stronger.

    I found that I'm generally much tankier when I stack Stamina and Health (both easy since my template is an imperial) paired with really really high Magicka regen. Because the one thing I've always noticed is that a DK with a lot a Magicka is extremely hard to kill, this is mainly because the earthen heart passive that restores stamina upon use of a skill, once you get in the range of 25,000 stamina you start getting around 1250 stam back per cast, basically meaning you can still have 2500 stamina regen while blocking, then once you get near 40,000 health Igneous shield is around a 10,000 damage shield which makes up for DragonBlood being less effective. Still though, this has little to no damage, so I want to see if I can make it a support tank in PvP with the healing morph of stone fist and possibly running guard, and choking talons for the damage debuff

    Just going with corrosive armor with that or using cheap ultimates like take flight. Dawn breakers, or bat swarm?

    That's the main problem I ran into, at first I was using Ferocious leap because it's a bit over a 20k damage shield, but I realised that it was only restoring around 7k stamina because it's such a cheap ultimate ... I was going to test it as a vamp today, using devouring swarm and because undeath starts at 50% health I believe, which would help lessen all the execute damage I take.

    I might even end up running barrier if I follow through with this build, or warhorn.

    If you need to recover from an execute range you might want to go with the invisible morph instead. You are limited to a number of targets (3?) For devouring and you can still have folks spamming executes and radiant from afar. With the invisible morph you can let you regens help, get stuff back, cast on talons and other buffs while they are unaware.

    Also shield absorb is a good bet with stamina shield

    That's true, I guess with the low spell damage I wouldn't get much healing from devouring swarm either . I actually ended up using coagulating blood as a buff and was using Absorb Magicka as my main heal which worked nicely

    With a slightly different build (no engine guardian & 3 piece footmans jewelry) I managed 5.3k with Orgnum's active, with Vigor running it adds up to something like 7.5k.. Able to solo tank sweepers with ease using the right ability setup :)
