A few questions...
1. Is there a focus that grants more than 15 energy? (say, a very lucky gold?)
2. Is there a focus that grants 15 energy without the -1 regen tax?
I've been doing a bit of digging on the subject, but to no avail. Anyone know? >_<;

Uhhm, all foci when you meet the req offer more than 15 energy (if it has that mod on it :P) and i don't think theres one without -1 energy regen unless there was a -1 health regen one, and they all offver the 15 energy without a req.. the req is only for the +12 it offers

I'm pretty sure the +15/-1 focus is the most you can get as a 'mod'. And no, there is no focus that gives +15 without the -1, for balance reasons.

1. Yes, the most energy you can get from a focus is 27. 12 from meeting the req. and 15 from the mod which is paired with a -1 degen.

2. No, not possible with a focus.

true, in addition:

2. The maximum focus without the -1 degen is a +5, anything more than that suffers the -1

Wands can have a +5 over 50 inherent mod, but not foci.

You probably saw +5 armor while health is over 50%.

No, no you haven't. You're just so used to seeing damage and energy associated with (while Health is over 50%) that you don't notice that it's armor instead.

hmm... how does one post pics, i wonder... just went through my inventories and found these bonuses on a divine symbol: health -20, energy +12 (while health is below 33%), armor +10 (while health is below 33%)

... so perhaps things are not so clear-cut...

This focus is the pre sear minus health focus that your recieve from a quest called 'Poor Tenant' from Miller Upton. Esp. 55'er like one as a back-up focus for when they have some dp.

I have never seen a focus with +5 energy > 50 but i do have a focus with +5 armor > 50. Maybe you had that too?
