does power and health automatically restore all the time?

[Ftsracing]

haven't played in a few years. (still love the game) noticed on the are 51 instance my health and power was just regenerating without any outside influence? did the game do this before? i really thought healers and controllers actually had to play their roles before.

That would likely be the role-less buff at work (if you're sure there wasn't any outside influence..)

Referencing the wiki on the matter.. :

If a group is missing a Tank:

Group members gain 25% Damage Absorption.
The Tank Team Buff is indicated by a Green Shield.

If a group is missing a Healer:

Group members gain a small amount of Health regeneration if Health is under 80%.
Additional Health regeneration will occur while Blocking if Health is below 50%.
The Healer Team Buff is indicated by a Green Heart.

If a group is missing a Controller:

Group members gain 2% Power regeneration per second.
Group members gain 10% Defense.
The Controller Team Buff is indicated by a Green Lightning Bolt.


That's all well and dandy, but ultimately role-less buffs still don't compare to a decently played character with that role in your group. This especially holds true in higher end content where the role-less buff just does not hold up.

thank you for all the information, yeah i got into some of the later game content and had a team of all tanks and me a healer and got obliterated, got a more balanced team later on and noticed the difference.

There is a passive regen too if you are not in battle
