PiP's?? - Guild Wars Forums

MindBullets · Mar 23, 2005, 03:21 AM // 03:21

I can't find any info on what PiP stands for...
Also, at what rate does each class recover said PiP's?
I'm assuming that's why some people are making Ranger/Warriors instead of Warrior primary.

Thanks in advance,

Mind

a "pip" is a little arrow of regeneration - either in energy or health.

each arrow... or "pip"... means 2 health/energy per second (regen or degen).

health does not regenerate in battle. therefore, while you are fighting, you normally will not have any health pips. there are skills that will change that and you can have a maximum of 10 pips of health regen/degen at any given time.

once you are out of battle, your health will regenerate exponentially as time passes. this means you will slowly gain pips of health regen, up to 10, until you are fully healed.

energy regeneration by default is always 2 pips for warriors, 3 pips for rangers, and 4 pips for casters. this is assuming that you are actually wearing armor..

No, health is two per second. Energy is one every three seconds.
