Disclaimer: This is being tested in the psykhanium with creature spawner mod.
I haven’t been a wound zealot for a long time and I know people have been giving it a go lately and I thought I would try it out after I did some science on a build. I wanted to test the effectiveness of restorative verses so I toggled it on and off. I may not understand exactly how this talent works, but I figured that it would either regen toughness or increase the toughness you receive from killing a target. It does neither of those things. With it on I get 10 toughness off a melee kill and with it off it’s the same. The only other guess I have is that it operates off of coherency toughness? If anyone could help me figure this out I’d appreciate it. Thanks for the help.
When testing things in the meat grinder, make sure to completely switch loadouts to a different one, go back into the meat grinder, then switch back to the build you are wanting to test. Sometimes when you make changes in the meat grinder and then try to test without first swapping loadouts, the changes you made won’t actually take effect until the loadout is properly swapped and updated or something like that.
I did as you suggested, had my non testing build selected outside psykhanium, went into the psykhanium and swapped to the testing build (with restorative verses). I still received only 10 toughness from a melee kill with 5 stacks of martyrdom. Decided to jump out of the psykhanium and back in to see if that was an issue, it was not. Still 10 toughness on a melee kill with 5 stacks of martyrdom. I tested the blood redemption talent to see if there was another issue somewhere but that talent works as advertised.

oh interesting, guess it might just be bugged then, ill see if i can hop on the game and do a little testing.
Ive done a little testing in the meat grinder, and i think the talent is working properly. On my build i get 9 toughness per melee kill without any +toughness gain talents and at max health
if i then grab restorative verses, i still only get 9 at max health, but if i drop to 1 hp, i get 11 toughness back on melee kill
25% of 9 is 2.25 which would round down to 11 in the hud ui.
if i then grab blood redemption, it instead becomes 19 toughness on melee kill
if i grab both blood redemption and vicious offering and get a heavy melee attack kill, i then get 40 toughness
and finally, both blood redemption and vicious offering, but no restorative verses i get 33 toughness
so it seems as if the talent is working properly, its just that 25% of a small number is an even smaller number that might not even round properly in the ui

Very nice.
Op might check out Enemies Within Enemies Without. I find the regen speed is visually noticeable when at low HP compared to high HP. If psychaneum issues are ever identified solo play usually allows a bypass.
Thank you for this. I guess I just didn’t expect the number to be that small given that it’s a keystone talent at the very bottom. After increasing total toughness I was able to see the variability in restorative verses.
