Guild Wars 2

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but the other night, I gave the backpack regenerator trait a try. When I switched to my grenade kit, however, I didn’t notice any regeneration effect being applied to me.

Is there something I’m missing? Does the effect just not have an icon?

The effect is the same as the regen buff but there’s no icon for it. It also stacks with the normal regen buff.

Good to know! Thanks much for the information.

IIRC it heals for like 1/3 as much as normal regen does, though.

For me it ticked for exactly the same amount, although I had 0 +healing on my gear so I have no idea if the scaling is different.

Hmm, maybe I was thinking of another one of those “on regen” profession traits, then. Most of them heal for less than the normal regen does.

Quickly tested and it seems healing power doesn’t affect backpack regenerator at all. It’s 125 hps.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Several of the other passive regens tick for that amount too. Warrior is the only one I know of that goes higher, and that’s only if you have 2 or 3 adrenaline.

Backpack regenerator heal same amount as average heal from 3 stacks adrenaline healing.
But worrier’s healing signet was way better than that~

Anybody know if Backpack Regenerator stacks with Rune of the Dolyak too?

It does stack with Rune of the Dolyak.

It stacks with everything,
it scales with nothing…

That’s about it.
You get 125 per tick, no matter what gear you wear or what other heals you’re getting.

yeah yet another reason why kits need to scale. Was in full healing gear and tried this 120 hitpoint ticks in a level 80 zone. Not good.

It’s something like 7k healing per minute, which is passive and stacks with everything. I am a pretty big fan of it, it has saved my bacon lots of times in WvW (I think it functions best in larger sieges where you are taking constant AoE splash damage). In smaller engagements its of more limited use, but I can’t count the times I have escaped or won a 1v1 with 200-300 hit points left. I would have been dead without the regenerator.

I love it, but it’s definitely not useful unless you’re pretty tanky. Stacking an extra 125/sec of healing on top of all your other healing sources is great if you’re avoiding/mitigating most incoming damage, but will never save your hide if you’re just chucking grenades or such.
