Hi folks. I’m having some trouble all of a sudden, and that’s going OOM frequently when I move from group to group.
I’m running a BWC-commando. My rotation is pretty much this:
Toss Flashbang into a group.
Blitz into the group before Flashbang hits the ground.
Throw BWC onto my boots and laugh as the world burns around me.
Toss out a thermite mine pack.
Firestrike to proc devotions.
I am running a lot of buffs, which cuts down my mana pool quite a bit:
Vindictive Flame
Void Ward
Aether Ward
Field Command
Flame Touched
With those buffs on, I’m working with about 2089 energy.
My mana problems are usually after the 2nd or 3rd blitz, I’m oom and then stand around waiting for energy to replenish or I actually have to pop a tonic.
I haven’t had these issues before, they only just started.
My spirit is currently 268 (0 points invested).
Edit: I think my biggest gripe is the lack of regen. After a battle, it just doesn’t fill back up.
Have you come to a different region, where enemies are easier to fight, so that to use your skills more frequently?
But, yes, get some gear with some energy regeneration and / or energy (increasing your pool makes Elixir of Spirit more effective). Or change components on your accessories: Ectoplasm and / or Soul Shard already help a lot.
Just like a few points in a skill can start to cause problems, a little can go a long way with with components.
But there is nothing wrong with having to pop a tonic. That is why they are there. If you are needing more before tonic cooldown is up that might be a problem, but otherwise it seems pretty normal. I don’t think you can rely completely on stats and regen, if you do then something else is surely suffering.
