500 with galvanized ward is like... regen on one piece lol. You won't even notice it until you get up to around 800 without galvanized ward.
If you are gearing for regen, start with your chest piece. Regen on chest goes up to 599, much higher than the 342 max roll on other slots (amulet also goes up to 599 but go for DPS stats on amulet.) The other important place to look for is your pants. Pants don't have any dps stats to speak of, their only high roll is vitality, so it's a good place to pick up your health regen early on. Don't bother looking for health regen on pieces with other more important stats like rings, amulet, gloves, and shield/offhand.

Yeah, I picked up some new gear for around 300k and it's serving very well. didnt buy pants or chest to boost regen yet, which i know will help pass up 500 easy. Even so, the 500 regen is really helping out already, because of the build i have which has a good chance to save me. Overall, though, i boosted my resistances and it helped a ton. i dropped my vitality quite a bit, sadly, but i stay alive way longer than when i did when i had 10k more hp. I also havent been looking for regen and stuff on those pieces you mentioned because, in general, the rolls suck on them for regen. I need to invest in just a few more pieces to boost crit damage, all resist a bit more, and serious regen right now. Thanks for the tips though, theyre already helping
