Energy problem for a warrior/monk

[Xiang Yu of Chu]

So if I dont put my points in healing then where shuld I put them? In tactics? Also how would I be able to heal myself or someone else then if needed(think orison of healing only heals like 20 dmg with 0 in healing)?

Why not just use Gladiator Armor. Little less armor(-5 not including specials) for more Energy.

If you want to be able to heal other people effectively, then you need to hold onto Healing Prayers or swap it out for Protection Prayers (a few of which can be used for healing).

With my W/mo (12 sword, 3 strength, 9 healing, 9 protection), my energy is earmarked towards covering myself and healing the monk. If there are multiple monks in my party, then I just worry about myself (and the Priest and the Ghostly Hero, when that applies). For PvE I carry around healing breeze, shielding hands, and rebirth, and dedicate the rest of my slots to sword skills. The only change I make for PvP is swapping out Rebirth for Hamstring.

"Victory is Mine!" and Healing Signet would be your main means of healing yourself if you ditched your healing prayers.

it's pretty normal u can use the shield; only u won't get it's defence bonus (or 1-2 armor only), so it's like you r wearing nothing. >> look for a shield with str req (defender / tower shield).

For the energy problem, u can use for example, bonetti's defence to recharge, or u can base your build on adrenaline (like i do; gash, sever artery; final thrust ; shield stance and galrath slash). for healing i use healing breeze, for adrenaline i use for great justice. (last one is rebirth for reviving :))

grtz.

This is bad advice no offense. The extra 16 defense given by a shield makes a much much larger difference than you imagine.

Also, there are items that give you +23 energy +30hp and -1 regen

or

+12 energy and 20% chance of speed increase and healing favor skills

Personally, the only time I use a ton of mana is when I am in a huge fight. I solve that by using bonetti's stance and that fixes it.

What items give those bonuses? I'd love to have one.

Energy is a bigger concern than your regular attack damage output, so get the Energy +5 Long Sword from the Henge Of Denravi (you will be coming across this town very soon) weapons crafter. Its only one point away from max damage (14-21), and you will need the 5 Energy more than you need a 15-22 sword. You can still upgrade it with hilts and pommels as well.

Uh you sure about this one? Sword with energy +5? Ive never heard of any swd that gives +energy. Can anyone else confirm?

[Mo Baddass]

I think he means 3...

[Redlimit]

Trust me, its Energy +5. You get them at the Henge Of Denravi Weapons Crafter.

Energy +5 Long Sword (Crafted)

I'm a W/E, so having +5 Energy on my weapon is more important than having absolutely max damage. The difference between 14-21 and 15-22 is nothing, especially since most W/E use a Conjure spell for more damage.

why u say i give a bad advice? i said he should look for a shield with str req? i use one too, 16 armor (a defender), i don't really see ure point?)

or are u talking 'bout the adrenaline build (i also mentioned bonetti's defence, like u do.)

no no you said teh shield doesnt give much defense when it makes a very signifigant difference between having an offhand item...
