How Does Health Recovery Work? CP Question

I am looking Healthy in the CP and wondering how health recovery actually works. Is it only at rest or does it also work while in combat? If it is only at rest is it not a waste of CP points to use this option?

    Who knows....half of this game is built like this. Tool tips tell half truths, straight up lies. Its a crap shoot.
    It seems like one needs a PHD in eso theory to understand if you are building your character correctly or gimping yourself.

    I would test it, as I am sure you would but I'd rather not waste 3k trying to understand how this game works.

    There are two values, one is a combat value, one is a significantly higher out of combat value.

    As far as I understand it, the value you see on a default Character Screen is the combat value. To see the other value, you may need an add-on.

    of course ur hp recovery is active during combat. Did u even try to test this? literally go to any mudcrab and let it hit u, u'll see ur hp heal back without doing anything. And for "how health recovery actually works" your only question is if it works or not?

    If I recall correctly, it’s 1/2 the character sheet number every second in combat. So 3K health regen would be 1.5K.

    Time heals all wounds.
    The severity of said wounds versus time needed is a different matter.

    Spend few hundred thousand golds for that. There's whole another game out there.

    Healthy increases your hp recovery while in combat.

    37 points will give you a 9.09% increase in health regeneration which is 60% of the maximum possible increase for Healthy.

    Healthy is something you would spend points on if you plan on doing PvP or solo PvE content. Most PvE group content have healers so spending points on Healthy is kind of a waste when you could be spending it on something else.

    Kind of.

    Recovery (health, magicka, stamina) ticks every two seconds in combat and restores {character sheet value} of the resource. So in the end, it averages out at 1/2 csv per second, but you don't get a tick every second.
    Out of combat it ticks every second for the same amount, so recovery is essentially doubled when out of combat.

    It ticks every 2s in combat.

    Only worth it if you have a build which stacks hp recovery a bit
    PS4 EU DC

    Current CP : 756+

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.


    RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...

    Yes it heals every 2 seconds in combat and i am not sure i have to test it more it heals you for the full value in pvp, so is very handy but i am not 100% sure.

    it 100% does "heal" for full value. it does not get cut in half by battle spirit but does get lowered by defiles.

    Others have said it. The value is the value of how much you get every 2 seconds.

    The value is increased by vitality and reduced by defile and can’t crit.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    I believe, lets you have X regen :

    if you are not in combat you regen X/s
    and if you are in combat you regen X/2s (maybe it is (X/2)/s but i am not sure, any one can confirm?)

    This is the best description of how it works. It's 100% accurate.
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.
