Hi PPL,
I have a BOW that has 15% all times , -1 health regen, 20/20 Surendring, +30 health...

The only Problem i have is whenever i go to explorable area my health starts
degenerating.. (degenration by +1)...

So can ne one help me with this... if i can get rid of this degenration prob...

Or is there ne solution to this adding ne mod to armor or attrib that gives health regen like that .... would help a lot ... if u guyz suggest me on this...

If the solution is possible or not... or if i could have ne alternative...

There is no way of countering the degen save enchants that give constant regen, which are generally considered a poor choice.

My advice would be to wield a different bow normally, then switch to that bow only when fighting (since you're degenerating for the damage mod).

Carry a second bow without the degen and only switch to the degen bow during combat.

Weaponslots (F1-F4) are your friend.

there are no +health regen mods available.

To counter the health loss when not fighting, just switch to another bow. Other than that, +15% always -1 regen is actually pretty rare last I checked, and is pretty nice. Just carry Troll Ungent with you or if your /Mo some quick heal spell to keep your health up. I wouldnt worry bout it too much, thats a real nice bow, just switch to a non-degen bow when your not fighting.

shino_joost · Aug 02, 2006, 01:14 PM // 13:14

switch to an empty weapon slot? or have a seccondary bow with you.

Hengis · Aug 04, 2006, 09:14 AM // 09:14

This is exactly the same as if you were carrying a Vampiric bow.

You could have Monk as secondary and use Mending or Watchful Spirit at the cost of an energy pip.

Usually though I put another bow in the first slot and only switch to bow that causes degen when I am fighting.

you could always run a Barrage Vigorous Spirit Build, that's nice for keeping your health topped up, Mending would be good if you were running High Expertise for example and could afford to lose a Pip of Regen.

I can get rid of that degen for ya.. just gimme the bow.. and i will give you one that dosent make your health degen

Change that Sundering Bow string for a start. Sundering is junk and highly overrated.

jimmy_logic · Aug 04, 2006, 03:42 PM // 15:42

Preferably not to another Vampiric String... -2 degens... ouches!!!

I see 2 people who have suggested mending before you said that...

but yeah, you are probably better off getting another bow or switching out of that one until battle to minimize losses. Or just use some skills to keep your health up.

RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO Mending, get a collector's bow or craft one.

First off, a -1degen bow is not a very good choice to have >.< It's because that's the penalty of a 15%dmg always weapon. Either switch weapon set after battle and keep on troll unguent as a nice degen counter, buy a new bow, or get from collectors.
