I saw a bow with +15% dmg w/ -1 health regen.

Is this a very rare inherent? I have never seen it before.

yeh it happens on occasion (in non-inscription areas), but never with the inscription system as far as I can tell.

Its not common, but they do exist. They aren't SUPER rare, so don't expect to become rich from it or anything unless its like a Crystaline or something.

Nah not rare. Just most people who signed up after the inscription system was introduced have never seen one.

That inherent mod has it's uses.

There used to be bug concerning this inherent that allowed creation of unconditional weapons, IIRC.

you can add a vampiric mod to it, and get a double vamp weapon, for saccing at double speed. it's usualy better on a one handed weapon, for combining with a -50 offhand.

They need to bring that bug back in the form of some very rare inscription.

If you add a vampiric mod to 15% -1 HP weapon, you will have -2 health regeneration. You can then equip the -50 grim cesta to sacrifice yourself. It's useful if you get stuck in a terrain glitch, or if you wish to teleport. You sac yourself to death, and have someone rebirth you, or whatever.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

People would buy a weapon with -1 health regeneration, mod it vampiric for -2 regeneration and use a -50 grim cesta to commit suicide so they could be ressed at a shrine or a GvG base.

Edit: ok MisterB got there first.

There are a few extremely rare dmg mods out there.

15 - 1 hp and 15 unconditonal. Ive played for 28 months and never had either drop for me, not sure if the unconditional even exist anymore.

15/-1 energy regen ones are nasty... but they sure as heck aren't exclusive to Tyria nor discontinued. I got a Req.9 Vertebreaker with 15/-1er while farming Urgoz's Warren before the spirit sac trick got nerfed.
