Actually, you get 45hp and 70hp of shields. Your health recovers at 9hp/sec after I believe it was around 15 sec of non-damage? I can`t remember the exact time before you recover.

yup...known that but not how long it takes for the hp to come back. i`ll look into it on bungie.

yeah, that`s true... you can`t see it, but there is a hidden shield of 100hp who takes about 20-25 seconds to recharge

health does recover over a period of time.the exact numbers are available on bungie.net

You should try and check if your health recovers over a period of time
