    fun fact: pre 1.4.4, if you sit in a chair with shiny stone and a few other regen buffs, you can sit still and tank basically every hit since your life regen is so massive that your hp will be back to full before the next tick of damage. I did this in a (vanilla) playthrough where i didn't use any weapons and i saw the life bar move so fast i thought i was playing modded or something

    You forgot to mention that moving vertically effects natural regen differently to moving horizontally. As does moving by hook or minecart. Oh! And that enemy knockback or other non-input forms of movement also apply the moving penalty. Man why is regen so needlessly complicated in this game. Just give a flat amount based on armour set and remove litteraly all other forms. Then you don't get the near invincibility the devs worry about so much. And that's the only reason it's so complicated too; relogic wanting to have their regen cake and eat it too. So siiiilly.

    what I do is setup the spawn with a couch (since on it you can be facing either left or right without getting off of it) with a tiny pool of honey using bubles so it doesn't spill all over the place
    resulting in quite a significant boost
    and due to my spawn also being the arena the campfire and heart lantern are also there
    helps get up to full hp a ton
    and curiously, this setup due to the flat area of the arena
    works perfectly against solar eclipse as melee if going with excalibur/true excalibur

    so THATS why calamity so generously offers life regen ups in equips and armor. AND why so many of its bosses afflict debuffs.
    I have new appreciation for the crown jewel ignoring it now.
    Thanks for the info video, I've been kind of confused about life regen for a long time and didn't have the patience to sift through that wiki page (lol) so it's good to know about.
    I did know about the expert mode thing though - why dont they just make the food state it restores normal life regen rates?

    During this video i was thinking "wait this is incorrect buffs are affected by multipliers i read the wiki article just recently." I checked the wiki and it was changed just the past few days. I check the history and see you are the one that made the corrections. Good on you for fixing misinformation. I thought buffs were worse than they are.
    I am confused about one thing though. According to the formula the sum of natural regeneration and buff regeneration is added and then divided by 2. Doesn't this mean that for example the band of regeneration does not grant 1 hp per second but 0.5?

    in my current hardcore master mode world i have my main loadout which is my primary class, and a second loadout solely for regening health when low. it's kitted out with crim armor, band of regen, charm of myths, shiny stone, spore sac, frozen shell, worm scarf, and putrid scent (drunk world).
    crim armor, a chair, a campfire and well fed rival a shiny stone without any buffs. it's so good. and then you have the frozen shell and worm scarf which give a total of 42 DR when below half HP, and putrid scent so i dont get bothered by mobs while retreating
    in case you're wondering why i dont nurse, i just dont like using the nurse, even in hardcore. feels a little cheap to me. plus i think it's cooler to dedicate a build solely to recovery
