Regen vs Recovery - which is which?

bernie50 · 06-08-2009 07:25 AM

I've been playing this game quite a while and have yet to discover what renews health and which renews endurance. In the recipes for sets, it talks about them both but I am not sure which is which. They sound so similar - Regeneration and Recovery. I feel like I should just know it but wanted someone more intelligent than I (which in this case could be most of the players) to define it. Does Regeneration = Hit Points and Recovery = Endurance? OR is it vice versa?

Regeneration is hit points, recovery is endurance. So you had it right.

You got it. Regeneration is the measure of how fast you recover HP, and Recovery is the measure of how fast you recover End.

Hi bernie50.

Yes
Regeneration = Hit Points
Recovery = Endurance

If it helps, think "Regen scrappers".

The way I learned to keep it straight is to think about a lizard regrowing, or regenerating, a body part - i.e. healing, thus regen = HP.

And I was was just about to post the same thing.

That, and "recovering your breath" after you get tired => low endurance

Also helps that they're color-coded, though I suppose the trouble there is that there are no such thing as Regen or Recovery sets, just Healing and Endurance Modification...
