Positive Regen but cannot sustain RF

I've been playing this same build for a couple of leagues and usually, I can sustain RF from early 50s. However, I'm level 58 now and still degen-ing like crazy even though my regen seems to be > degen and POB says the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Lets do some math ^^

RF burns your life at a 90% rate of which you do mitigate 78%, means you will still take 22% fire dmg.

90% x 0.22 = 19.8% total life degen
Your regen sits at 20.7% and thus you should still beat the degen and regen about 0.9% of your total life.


However RF also burns 70% of your ES and this adds to the above mentioned degen as well to your overall dmg.
So this would be 70% x 0.22 = 15.4% total ES degen, which wont stop if you run out of ES. Its still active in the background.

Meaning you are taking 2 seperate degens at the same time. Life and ES based.
Life degen: 19.8% based off 2681 total life = 530.8 degen
ES degen: 15.4% based off 253 total ES = 38.96 degen
Combined degen therefore is: 530.8 + 38.96 = 569.76
Your total life regen: 554.2
Means: 554.2 regen minus total 569.76 degen = 15.5 degen per sec


If you stand in your HO and activate RF you should degen about 15 life per sec.
Sounds correct?
Many thanks for the detailed explanation, I will take a closer look.

I'm level 63 and can sustain RF now, but just barely.

Just wondering why POB is showing such a big difference in the net regen numbers.

Just wanted to say thanks again, this helped me to troubleshoot my regen issues
