Really Annoying Glitch

[Masternaut]

I have the morokei mask plus the arch mages robes that grant you combined a total of 200% faster magicka regen....ony problem is it does not work in combat the bonus goes away and it will recharge at regular speed. Now not in combat it works fine shooting random lighting in the sky but oh man here comes an enemy then nope its gone and back to slow recharge :wallbash:. Edited December 8, 2011 by Masternaut

Intended?

Actually, magica regen is at 33% when in combat. The new bonuses still apply, though, so you should actually be at 66% of "normal" regen when in combat.

 

As an Atronach my regen slows to a snail's pace in combat! But I only use spells when faced by other spellcasters (because I can still use the absorption bonus)

I'll be testing this once I get the proper artifacts... I don't like how the bonuses work, it should stack into one big one, 50% on 10% adding to 60%, not add 50% to 10% and make it 20%.

 

If it ends up broken, lower the possible bonuses you can get, problem solved.

Something is wrong with that, why would the bonuses go away in combat what the f*** is the point of the bonuses then.

Magicka regeneration is a scam. You're honestly better off getting + magicka items and spell school cost reduction items instead.

Something sounds very wrong about that. What good is that going to do you when you don't have it when you need it most?

I'm a warrior but was trying out some magic and I noticed the robes and rings that are supposed to regenerate magic didn't help much but I thought that was because I was too low skilled

at magic. Sounds frustrating.

agreed with personal experience, i enchanted everything on me with magicka regen, and hoped i can rely on perks for magicka usage, but turns out it was a bad idea, i ran out of mana faster than i anticipated.

the only senario where magicka regen is good is when you summon a dreamora lord as a tank and you sneak behind him, while you are stealthed you have full magicka regen (invisible is not stealthed)

 

however it is best to have usage reduction, as you can get as high as 100% reduction in 2 schools of your choice, more magicka is also good because magicka regen is a % based on total magicka

It has to be a glitch there is no way they wanted it to be that way, it would be like a car that had 800 hp and driving for fun it works great but then go to race someone and oh well where did that 800 hp go?

Working as intended, It's supposed to simulate slower time while in combat even though the time scale does not change, something like this Dynamic Timescale mod,

 

As it is currently coded, in combat regen is 33% of your current regen rate. In the OP's example he has +200% regen for a total of 300%. So when in combat he drops to 100% regen.

 

In experimenting with my Sorceress I have found that cost reduction enchantments is more effective especially as a destruction spellcaster.

 

I do however keep magicka regen enchanted items on me and use them whenever I activate my buffs. I simply cast my buffs and wait for my magicka to regen then switch to my destruction gear and deep fry everything. :biggrin:

 

Edit: If you want to have magicka and stamina the same in combat and out of combat then the Magicka and Stamina Combat Regen mod is your ticket.
