Some questions regarding the Hp degeneration

1) what is the maximum degeneration? Mursaat Spectral agony gives 23 degeneration to an un-infused armor using character. Does that mean that you can have... very much degeneration but it doesn't show on the health bar cause there isn't enough room?

2) How does it work? Is it points per seconds lost, percentage of max hp per second lost. so if you have 200 hp and get 3 degeneration you loose 6 hp per second.

3) Can someone buy me a pizza?

Ok ill try to answer as best i can but im sure i will be wrong in more than one area ;p

The max degen you can have at any one time is 10, you can however have more than 10 degen but only 10 will affect you. If you cast something that causes regen it will take it away from the total degen not the 10 degen.

For each 'pip' (arrow) of degen/regen you lose/gane 2hp/s. So 10 pips of degen is 20dps.

Nope, you're correct on all counts.

To clarify: if you have effects on you that add up to more than 10 arrows of degen, you'll only see 10 arrows and only lose hp at the 10-arrow rate, which is 20 hp/sec. But the "extra" arrows will still be counted for the purpose of cancelling out regen from other effects.

Spectral Agony giving 23 pips of degen means that it would take at least 14 regen before you'd have less than ten arrows "active".

Energy Regen is different on the rates of course. 1pip=1energy every 3 seconds.
