Variant Barbarian Build

[ZatarRufus]

I think Bloodraven is among those few monsters who do not regenerate.

I've done quite a bit more testing on this. It appears to be mostly true but there are some sequences of events that will allow her to heal. I haven't established exactly what.

I created a new character for testing without any variant restrictions. I went as quickly as possible to the graveyard and wounded Blood Raven. No amount of standing around in the graveyard, stepping out to the cold plains, nor going to town via a. walking/running, b. town portal, or c. cold plains waypoint would affect her life. Upon return each time her life bar was exactly where it was from the fight.

Next, I went thru the underground passage and picked up the scroll of Inifuss. Due to a massive army chasing me, I wound up finding the black marsh waypoint. Then from town I went back to see Blood Raven. She was healed.

I punched her a few times, took the cold plains waypoint to the black marsh and revisited. She had not healed this time.

Went to Akara, read the scroll, and then opened the portal to Tristam but did not jump thru. I went immediately back to Blood Raven & she had healed again.

I haven't isolated exactly what the specific triggers are, but at least I think that's why we've had mixed commentary on it.

Edit:

In retrospect, "Blood Raven heals sometimes." is incorrect. More appropriately: It appears Blood Raven's life bar may be 'reset' by triggering quests out of sequence.
