Does health regeneration stack? If I use both Mending and Healing Breeze will their effects stack? Sry, it doesn't really say on wiki; it might be implied but I'm not sure.

They do stack as they're seperate enchantments.

It stacks, but only up to 10. It's right there in black in white on wiki. Also, you could've tested this in game.

That will refresh healing breeze, not stack it.

If you are NOT farming, use better skills than Mending and Healing Breeze. I assume this is on a warrior, in which case you cut your energy regen in half, and use half of your energy to cast Healing Breeze. Healing Signet and Lion's Comfort are better options for a warrior BY FAR.

If its not a Warrior, it may work, but I'm guessing you won't be smart using Mending. I only see Mending used effectively for solo farming builds, and occassional bonding builds.

And as posted above, this info was on wiki.

A small correction: health regeneration/degeneration does stack beyond +/-10 pips, it's only the actual experienced re/degen that is capped at +/-10. If you wonder where's the difference then think of the following situations:

You're simultaneously hit by Conjure Nightmare and Conjure Phantasm (like, ouch, man), putting you at a frisk -13 pips of health degen. Luckily for you, degen is capped at -10 pips so that's what you are seeing. When you cast a Healing Breeze at 8 Healing Prayers, it will give you +7 pips of regen. Since your uncapped degen is -13, the result is that you will still have -6 pips of degen with HB. If degen only stacked to -10, casting HB would bring you to -3 pips but it doesn't.

You cast Mystic Regeneration at 8 Earth Prayers while having four other previously cast enchantments on you. That will give you +15 pips of health regeneration but you can only see +10 because of the cap. You are then hit by a poisoned burning arrow which causes -11 degen (-4 from poison, -7 from burning, again stacking past -10). If health regen only stacked up to +10, you'd have 10 - 11 = -1 health degen but fortunately there are five more pips beyond the cap so what you see is 15 - 11 = +4 health regeneration and your 55 Mo/D can happily chug along.

Tidus: I thought it was a compliment too. Also, you seem to be checking wiki and if something is not clear to you, I don't think there's a problem with asking. There is also the added benefit that you are probably NOT the only one who has those questions so the answers you get will help others.

Taurus: Tidus responded that way, I think, because MagmaRed & Azagoth appear to be using Tidus' questions as a way to +1, +3 and +5 their posting counts. I've noticed similar harassment of Sir Tidus in some other threads.

EDIT: Decided not to add the final part :P

actually, i'm not a noob (not much of one anyways) and this thread answered my questions about mystic regen perfectly. I was gonna go ele/derv for a terra tank build, but wasn't sure if the +/- 10 health pip would be worth it (other option was 55 ele/monk with prot spirt and hb). Now I know it will be props to tmakinen, thanks for the info (and everyone else that posted one here w/info)

Yes, I only +1, and I don't offer advice about 2 skills that may be used poorly. Thanks for your vote of confidence, and YOUR +1 post. If thatpost wasn't a +1, what did you offer to help with the question asked? Oh, and THIS post was a +1 apparently.

Right. Shut up.

And no, this is not directed at Tidus.
