Grognars Sword, health degenaration??

I got Grognars Sword this weekend and started useing it. One of the stats is minus one to health regenaration, but my health is degenarating steadly not renenarating slower?
Should this stat read health degenaration plus one?
Also what spell should I use to counter this? I am a W/N.

The -1 degen also effects regen spells (takes off one pip). If you don't have any regen spells on, then you should be...well...suffering from -1 degen. In your case I would use blood renewal or life siphon to counter it.

For countering, spells are the worst way to counter health degen. Just switch to another weapon or to an empty weapon set inbetween battles or when you're Blinded or otherwise can't attack. If you're hitting people your health should be fine.

Thanks, I really think it should be called plus one to health degenaration.
You said spells are not the best way to counter it but what charector/spell would be best?

Just a other sword. The problem with the skill/spell is that if you forget them you will die of degen. Also things like mending can be shattered (auwie dmg), rended, stripped.... etc.
Just swith to an other sword when your not fighting. Or just recast the spells offen. Life Siphon isnt great because you need an enemy to cast it on. And if he is around you can also hit him with your sword to get the health back.
