Regenerate Focus affix feels bad, even with investment

With 4x Regenerate Focus in Combat gems slotted, and about +200% Focus Gain (ie. x3), it takes 20 seconds to recover about 40 Focus.

Lets work that backward:

  • 40 Focus divided by 20 seconds = 2 Focus per second
  • 2 Focus per second, divided by 4 slots = 0.5 Focus per gem
  • 0.5 Focus per gem divided by the 3 it’s being scaled by the Focus gain = 0.17 Focus/s per gem or something in that range.

I thought the focus regeneration affixes returns were improved in breach refined patch?

All the regenerate and drain affixes do so little they might as well not even exists. When gains and losses were almost imperceptible to begin with, improving them by a minor percentage means nothing.

Drain health is absolutely noticeable if you have more than 1-2 on gear.

Go to Nameless Pass central whisper, aggro any of the ranged mobs in the upper platform and spend sometime running to the nearby ladder to climb up and go around to them.

I have 320 HP and with 3 drain hp affixes plus crow ring my HP was melting away the moment anything puts you on aggro via range, and you don’t have anything nearby to sustain via lifesteal.

Focus regen is pretty worthless because the rate is super low and unlike healing % increases you don’t get a nice fat 20% focus gain increase on every piece.

And the Focus Regen gem is such a noob trap. Because folks new to the game are going to slot that over something else thinking it will actually be helping them.
