ShiKage Wrote:I see no real use in Energy Drain. Sure, it may take away HP from a monster, similar to Drain, the Assassin skill, but when will you actually use it? You won't waste your time on a monster that you can just one hit KO anyways for a little bit more HP. That would be like a Crusader using Panic on a monster with less than 10% HP left. When you're training full-force, you're never going to remember, "Oh, I should cast Energy Drain so I can get more HP." In fact, I don't even use MP Recovery that much. Maybe I should be, but when training at high-traffic maps, such as Himes, you don't have the time to stop and cast that skill. It's a waste of time and effort, just like Dash.
Indeed, Energy Drain is similar to Drain, have you ever seen a Hermit/Night Lord not using Drain at high-traffic maps such as Himes?
Energy Drain attacks fast and drains HP, like Drain but the little disadvantage of this is that it attacks only one monster.
So what if you waste your time using Energy Drain if it actually helps? If you have Lv. 40 Energy Charge (wich lasts for 50 seconds) then it won't take too long to charge up your energy and use it for Energy Buster or for other reasons. My level Energy Drain is only 1, but when monsters of 500/600 touch damage hit me I'll just use my Lv. 1 Energy Drain, since i rely on it and i hit around 2k-3.8k maximum with Lv. 1 and it replenishes my HP fast!
Maxed Dash is actually useful for Gunslingers/Valkyries/Captains, since there there is no point in having maxed Straight for them. And a short speed boost doesn't hurt, does it?
You don't have to stop to cast MP Recovery, you can just walk and use it, besides with the 2 seconds of invisibility of Screw Punch, i'm sure you can cast MP Recovery, but that all depends on you. I use MP Recovery every time, and i must admit..it's useful for me.
@0mgP1r4tes aka xDae: You know what's useless IMO? Maxing Energy Buster (Level 30: Damage 420% / 4 Enemies / 100% Range) while Lv. 30 Energy Orb (Level 30: Damage 900% / 6 Enemies / 200% range) has nearly double the % and range when it's maxed.
Plus, I've seen much worse posts of you. Don't make an ass out of yourself.
