    Just as gaming in general, what do you guys think are the best ways to regenerate HP in any game, or just smart ideas/creative concepts.

    This is what I've gathered, some of the ways I love:

    -Medkit (Left4Dead)
    -Ability to Heal (Priest from any MMO)
    -Medi-ray (Starcraft 2 & Team fortress 2)
    -Sandvich (Team Fortress 2)
    -Bed (Elder scrolls)

    anything else?

    You can heal by giving each other hugs in the new Kirby! That's pretty cool. I also will always love the way the fairy heals you in the original legend of zelda for NES. Any fairy healing is cool though throughout the Zelda series.

    But while we are on the subject I need to add that basic healing in Final Fantasy XI is the bane of my life. You literally take a knee and stair at the ground for minutes at a times waiting for your bar to regain...      stupid tebow-ing.

    I haven't really seen any creative way to heal. Most are basic. Zombie games use bandages / medkits, fantasy games generally use potions or orbs, etc etc. Some are more dependent on the healing classes to heal. Some you use a bed. The best way to heal, really depends on the game your playing.

    If you've played Realm of the Mad God, you heal by teleporting back to your 'base' and standing in some magic water pool, and that shit heals you up almost instantly.  Similar to how it's done in SMITE and Dota and most MOBA games, and i'm sure quite a few other games, those are just the ones on the top of my head.

    Pros, it's quick

    Cons, you have to run or teleport back to your spot.

    Engineer's Healing Bot from Torchlight II. The enemies don't target the bot and it will last as long as you don't load a new map. It heals periodically and doesn't take any further resources other than the initial burst of mana. It also heals teammates that are out of your bot's sights; so you could be out of its circle and still heal.

    Really helps when you're in a cluster **** of a boss where there are a **** ton of enemies on your screen. What you're really trying to do is spam your skills and run away from enemy attacks. The healing bot keeps you alive and you don't even need a finger on your health button.

    I remember that in FFXI, I will never ever forget it, it was horrendous, but I still loved the game as a whole!

    Shields and Lifesteal.  HoT(Heal over Time) based healing is one my absolute favorite ways to heal up.  Healing Orbs are always nice or player interaction healing.

    I'm partial to the nostalgic sounds of life/mana potions in Diablo 2.

    I like the L4D2 med kit. Potions (Bioshock style!) are my favorite though
