Enhanced GP regen

[LissanaBrightwood]

Can we just talk about the ""enhanced GP regen" thats a lvl 70 trait.
the "enhanced GP" gives 6 GP per 3 seconds instead of the 5 GP per 3 seconds we had before.
So math says that every 15 seconds we get 5 gp extra BUT that's if your not gathering.
If your gathering and gathering an item that still gives you 5 GP so in the end "enhanced GP" gives you almost nothing extra.
I feel that the enhanced GP should have been more instead of the +1 GP per 3 seconds.

I'm not going to lie. This is almost an insult. I've already thought about the "well, you have more regen, albeit a small amount, you should be happy it's something." I agree. It's not useless, but it's inconsistent. On top of the fact that it's only a single GP every tick, it does not get increased for the passive regen when you're not on a gathering class. On top of that, there's the point you made about getting less GP regen from gathering rather than just sitting there. You're punished for continuous gathering as a way to regenerate. All in all, this "enhancement" is the worst in every possible way. I don't really know how to be optimistic about it.

On top of that, there's the point you made about getting less GP regen from gathering rather than just sitting there.

This statement is false, and is not what the original poster actually said. You will regenerate faster when actively gathering simply due to the fact that you can hit a node faster when actively gathering than the rate of ticks when not gathering. What the original poster said before you twisted it is that because more time is spent actively clicking nodes there is very little gain from this trait since there is a relatively small amount of travel time between nodes.

That said, I partially disagree with that statement depending on the situation. Certain types of gathering have long wait periods between nodes, and this trait will help those situations quite significantly. E.g. even only needing to wait only 4m between two timed nodes is an extra 40gp gained just from the trait. I suspect this trait was designed for those long multi-zone rotations of timed nodes where you only gather a single node once every 5 or 10 minutes. But for just straight up farming node after node without pause then no, the trait does not help much, and I suspect that is by design.

The simplest solution would be regenerate 1% every 3 second tick or gathering strike. That would be 5 minutes from empty to full regardless of GP total.

It doesn't seem like much but it's a 20% boost to regen. If they made the boost too strong it would make cordials a lot less popular cause people would just regen between every unspoiled node.

It's a 20% boosted regen IF you're on that class that's at 70 AND you're not currently gathering something. It's not necessarily the number that's bad, but the situation required to even get it.

Fair point, but that raises a question on why they didnt add a new cordial or simply add a passive trait to the lvl70 GP regen that reduces Cordial Recast by 20% as well. If gathering is gated by GP and this directly creates a dependence to Cordials, why not allow top tier gatherers the ability to make better use of them.

Ya but at level 70? You would think it would be a nice boost. I was expecting double gp from rest and gathering...

Just because it has no downside doesn't mean it's useful.

I mean, there's no real downside to Spear, but I'd rather be caught dead before I actually use it.
