All healing mechanics out of combat are weak.
We have +4 regeneration essence outside the settlement (F tier)
We have healing tent that takes 30s to build, has small range and is expensive AND has upkeep
And natural regeneration of 1hp/s
While for healing in combat we have Priests (pretty good)
and 8% blood thirst essence for knights (S tier)
For a game that averages 50ish or less minutes for a skirmish, healing out of combat is way too slow.
And also the good healing options (8% and priests), make the bad ones (regeneration and healing tent) completely useless later
Regeneration essences/effects should just work in combat
But maybe need some numeric adjustments
else they are literally worthless

I think if the healing out of combat went from flat to % healing it would already feel much better.
Definitely agree they are rough to use right now. I usually buy 1 hospital during the early game until I have bloodthirst and then I sell it.
Picked the regen essence once, because I thought it would work in combat.

Starting without 8% should be illegal for 🦏
but anyway, regeneration essence or turtle +3 are really...
not it

I think these still stem from the day and age where passive healing wasn't a thing at all.

A bit too realistic healing speeds xd

I tend to remove rhino horn from the unit I want to regen

That's some WC3 mechanics there
Actually disappointed in myself that I hadn't considered that xD

You don't need to do that since your knight simply need to hit in order to heal x)

In the early game he does spend some time at the hospital though, because I run -2 arcanum cost 😛
Would save me some time
pale edge
You need to get at least 3 essence unlocks for -2 cost to be equal to not running it
Of course it gives you more towards your talents that not having it
And it is the best by far from all the ones that affect arcana cost/gain

With Karkadann every shrine gives an essence. Which is why have it as a starter. Makes clearing shrines feel extra good.
