Recouped

If a mitigated Hit deals 1,000 damage and the character has 20% of Damage taken Recouped as Life, that Hit creates an independent effect recovering 200 Life over eight seconds, or 25 Life per second. Another Hit creates another overlapping effect. With 100% increased speed of Recoup Effects, the same 200 Life is recovered over four seconds, or 50 per second.

Recoup starts after a Hit deals damage

Ordinary Damage taken Recoup uses Hit damage actually taken after mitigation. Damage over time does not trigger it. Because recovery follows the Hit, Recoup is sustain for later damage and does not reduce the initial Hit.

The default duration is eight seconds

Each Recoup effect recovers its full stated amount evenly over eight seconds by default. Twenty percent Recoup from a 1,000 damage Hit therefore recovers 200 total, at 25 per second before speed modifiers.

Every Hit creates an independent instance

Separate eligible Hits create separate Recoup effects that overlap in time. Recoup is not limited to one active instance, so repeated Hits can produce a much higher combined recovery rate.

Faster Recoup preserves the total

Increased speed of Recoup Effects shortens the time without reducing the total amount. At 100% increased speed, an eight-second Recoup effect completes in four seconds and recovers twice as much per second.

Taken and prevented damage are different bases

Generic Damage taken Recoup is based on damage that reaches the character. Prevented or Blocked damage contributes only when an effect explicitly says that prevented, Blocked, or Deflected damage is Recouped.

The stated resource matters

Life Recoup restores Life, Mana Recoup restores Mana, and Energy Shield Recoup restores Energy Shield. A single effect can name more than one resource, but recovery for one resource does not automatically apply to the others.

Damage type and condition scopes filter the base

A modifier may apply only to Physical, Elemental, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Chaos damage, only while Channelling, only during an item effect, or only against a particular enemy state. Include only the portion matching the exact wording.

Recoup continues while the resource is full

An active Recoup instance continues running even if its resource reaches Full. Recovery above the ordinary maximum is not retained unless the recovery also has valid Overflow permission.
