I have a hard time playing on my titan because my recovery is too low. I get hit, take a break, and often can't seem to get back up to full health because I get dinged before the recovery is reset.

Great visualization!

It appears to show that:

At recovery = 10, you begin to heal after 3 seconds and are fully healed after 6 seconds.

At recovery = 0, you begin to heal after 6 seconds and are fully healed after 10 seconds.

This was just me counting while staring at the screen, so it's not hard factual numbers. I really wish the gif makers had put a counter on the right side of the screen. Still very neat.

It's worse with hunters. ANY recovery is a luxury.

But we can side strafe 0.1 m/s faster!

Apparently the Io armor will get you up in the 4-5 range. I've been playing with 2.

I thought we had somehow unanimously opted to trade functionality for good looks.

Glad someone else was confused.

FWC armor also falls into the "survivalist" category. That'll get you up towards that lovely 5/5/5 build everyone seems so fond of. Don't get me wrong, my 9/5/1 build looks WAY sexier, but holy hell if it isn't just completely useless in pvp situations.

Hunters are friggin' useless in PvP because of lack of recovery. So frustrating when it's what you want to main.

But I digress. The helmet Foetracer (E) and the Ghost Primus auto rifle (L) are your besties as a Hunter in PvP. You have to try to not be at the top of the leaderboards. I ran that loadout at a vastly inferior light level to boot. No, I think Hunters do quite well for themselves... ourselves. Ugh, whatever. :P

Do the bottom striker skillset and just punch something to recover. ;)
