I think it comes down to the healing changes put in.

I find that if slightly maladicted and with a few protections still up, its almost an entire day of sleeping to be back and running.

Makes for a lot of boring down time. Other option though is to spend 20k per fight on gold to heal up.

Gotta take the bad with the good I guess.

If they did change the ticks to something faster it would really mess up prepping.

Just get ready for way more down time between excitment.
