Health/Magicka/Stamina regeneration needs rework

Currently health/magicka/stamina only regens once every 2 second. This leads to an unnatural and slow feel. Instead it should tick more often. Lets say you currently regen 50 health per 2 seconds it should be changed to 25 ticks of one health per second (40ms per tick).
I think this would improve the combat feel a lot. It also helps if you just need 1-2 magicka to cast your healing skill instead of having to wait painfully long appearing 2 seconds.

    I agree that magicka and stamina needs to recharge quicker, but not health. I can hardly get off 2 abilities before I am almost out of stamina! And this is with a 33 % health 66 % stamina build!

    You did not understand OP at all, he wants shorter intervals, not faster regen.
    As much as I agree that would be great, they did that to reduce ammount of data sent between client and server. Increasing it would result in stronger lag (how much, hard to say - but surely server would need to handle 2 calls instead of 1)

    ESO is actually pretty fast, compared to other MMOs. Generally refered to as a "tick", regen in other games is typically every 6 seconds.

    ah, re read it. still, I think stamina and magicka should regen slightly faster.

    All I know, is that I can't tell a difference between having a 50 regen rate as opposed to an 80. It still seems to regenerate at the same rate.

    Stamina needs work, not sure about magicka because I have found myself never running out of magicka on my sorc but when it comes to stamina for my bow users... it's so bad even with hitting the softcap for stamina regen.

    Health, maybe increase the softcap a little bit. But other than that I feel that it's fine.
    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    This. 2 seconds is extremely fast.

    Not sure but you know it only refers to in-combat regen, right? I believe everyone regens at the same rate out of combat.
    Please LOL my comments. I'm an aspiring comedian.

    2 seconds is extremly slow in a game where you can die in less than 3 seconds to non bosses and players
    6s might work for other games, but this is not one of them.

    Actually noticed the same. No matter how much stamina regen I have it feels like it doesn't regen more.

    its just like with the total stamina. Ability prices go up as you level, which is REALLY dumb imo.

    Depends.

    WoW just fairly recently(think shortly after 5.2) made some spells update less frequently. Some spells, like shadow priests' Vampiric Embrace updated every second(heals based on damage done for x seconds) as did some druid and shaman heals.

    Throne of Thunder becsme unplayable on heroic 25 and I had issues on some heroic 10 fights. Between player and boss abilities, the frequent updates lagged the server hard. More players, bigger problem.
