Ring of Regeneration & Bloodstone armor not healing afflictions?

[fncruz01]

I have a Earth elemental king with an affliction (Never Healing Wound). I gave him Ring of Regeneration & Bloodstone armor 10turns ago and the affliction does not heal.

I also have Gift of Health and the province has dominion 2.

Am I getting unlucky in affliction not healing?

Regeneration does not heal afflictions. You need the recuperation trait or a healer.
Gift of Health should help with afflictions, though Dominion 2 is very low. A Never Healing Wound is also a very difficult affliction to fix, so yeah, that can take a long while.

Oh ok thanks!

Regeneration prevents afflictions but apparently does NOT heal afflictions.

Regeneration lowers the chance of getting afflictions, but doesn't 100% prevents them. But yeah. Healing afflictions is very very rare in Dominions.

If you don't have recruitable Healers, you probably just going to have to accept afflictions being permanent.

There is also the recuperation bless, but that's pretty expensive to get as well.

Wait, there are changes in Dom6, for example:
"Gift of Health was changed to not affect lifeless &undead units"

Pretty sure that change was already in Dom5 though it might have been a patch and not on release.
