Health regeneration

From Guild Wars Wiki

Health regeneration in Guild Wars is represented by the arrows or pips beside your characters current health on his/her Health Bar. For each pip of regeneration, your character receives 2 health per second.

Keep in mind that degeneration caps at +10 and -10. So being under the effects of 3 skills giving you +4 regeneration will net you a total of +10 regeneration. However, if you are hexed for another -3 regeneration, the -3 is calculated before the cap is applied, so you will end up with +9 regeneration.

[edit] Automatic Regeneration

Your character also receives health regeneration when idle. This begins with 1 pip of regeneration after a few seconds; as long as nothing changes, it will increase every few seconds to a max of 7 pips of regeneration, e.g. 14 health per second. This is in addition to any existing regeneration; a character with a Blessing that grants +3 health regeneration can get up to +10 just by standing idle.

Being "idle" is defined as (a) not currently losing health and (b) not currently involved in combat. A few examples:

• Any skills which sacrifice health will block automatic regeneration.
• Casting or receiving enchantments that heal you will not interfere with automatic regeneration.
• Stances, blessings, and enchantments that increase health regeneration can offset conditions that cause health degeneration. If the balance of all such conditions is +0 or better, you will gain automatic regeneration.
• Carrying a vampiric weapon will block automatic regeneration if the health loss is not offset by some blessing, stance, or enchantment.
• Attacking, receiving damage, or casting a spell on an enemy will end automatic regeneration.

Health regen or degen does not count as healing or damage.
