What is the best equipment for an E9 Cyclops?

My experience has been that regeneration of 5% or 10% reduces your affliction rate by maybe half, which means you will still pick up afflictions from the occasional weak hit that gets through. I don't know if that alters the reinvig vs. regen balance, though, because half as many afflictions is still an improvement.

The manual states that ANY regen reduces affliction rate by 80%..... Thus a 400% Death bless would put you at normal affliction rate again. Funny how that works.

Sun Tzu would shake his head disapprovingly at the man who sent his cyclops against Death blessed sacreds.....

I believe the manual is erroneous. KO has stated in the past that regen reduces afflictions in proportion to regen %, e.g. a Lamia Queen with a Ring of Regen and Monolith armor will be less afflicted than someone with just an N4 bless. My experience is that he is correct. A regenerating Pretender who is killed by D9 weapons frequently has 3 or 4 afflictions by the time he dies.
