Offhand items

[bodangly]

Right now I'm using an ankh that adds +21 energy, but -1 energy regen, and +30 health. Is the crapload of energy worth the -1 regen? I'm a Mo/Me, so I figure I could energy tap and such when I'm low, but what do you guys think? Is there an offhand item that adds this much energy but doesn't effect regen?

If you have the same one as me, it's actually +23 energy +30 health -1 energy regeneration. I haven't tested whether it's worth giving up one energy regeneration but I'm using it. I'll think it is worth the extra energy unless someone convinces me otherwise with testing.

I would have it on an alternate weapon configuration as a panic button. If you're dry and needs some energy NOW then swap to it, and then immediately swap back.

Having a high maximum energy doesn't help you when you're running at 0-15 energy anyway. Mid-battle, you're only using your regeneration arrows for mana anyway.
