CI + % degen + "Prevents Recovery Above 50%" = death (regardless of flat regen)

If you stand too long in the "Prevents Recovery Above 50%" mod from a rare monster while having CI allocated and percentage based degeneration (in my case 10% from Berserk and Death Articulated), you die, even if you have flat regeneration on your gear which normally cancels out the degen.


I did some tests and the results were pretty inconsistent:

Time until death with 2.3 regen/s: ~ 20 seconds https://imgur.com/a/ToiDB7T
