Ether Renewel

I haven't used my ele heroes since the [ether renewal] buff. So basically can the ele heroes use this skill effectively, or can they not figure out what skills to use when?

I tried running Sousuke with a protter build roughly the time it came out but at least from my experience I had to micro him way more than I had hoped, plus there were a couple times I had to force him to even cast Ether Renewal. So either I have bad luck or they have no idea when to use what.

I use vekk currently as a E/Rt Healer and tbh it works very well. He has about 98 base energy and never really runs out of energy, mainly because a usual fight only takes out half of his energy and then he just regens for the next fight. Just pair ER with aura of restoration and you are already getting 4 energy per spell, and more if there are any other enchants on him.

It works, but ill always prefer eles doing damage, not healing and a Necro healer, or a monk.

So if I'm running with 3 other human players. And we have the current 3 hero killer setup (sabway/racway/or discord), would you all use a [[ether renewal] healing ele, hybrid monk, or n/rit hybrid healer?

I ran ER one time on my ele.
The reason why I stopped on that number was because those LHammers hurt REALLY bad when the team kills fast and the ele-guy wastes 2 secs casting a spell that doesn't finish.
It just didn't seem to be worth it.

ER healer/protector is more worth it on a human ele than a hero. A human with GDA, and 20% Enchant, would be able to make better use of it. A hero does it ok, but they dont recast ER immediately sometimes.

N/Rt with restoration is an easy spike healing build for heroes. But it doesn't have the nice protection spells from a monk that a N/Mo has, like [[Protective Spirit] and the Rit skill line lacks hex removal.

In my experience, Heroes use [[Ether Renewal] very well when playing simple builds. Give them enchantments they like to keep up all the time ([[Fire Attunement], [[Aura of Restoration] etc..), and Ether Renewal, and watch them cheat at the game.

I've not tried an Ether Renewal healer though so I can't comment on how well that will go. I'd leave the healing and/or protection to N/Rt or Mo/E heroes personally, and save Ether Renewal for Hero-Rodgort's Invocation spamming. Works like a treat.

There is, however, nothing to stop you giving an Ele Hero one or two expensive monk protects. Perhaps something like:

[Ether Renewal][Fire Attunement][Aura of Restoration][Rodgort's Invocation][Fireball][Immolate][Protective Spirit][Convert Hexes]

...just to help out with the expensive skills like Prot. Spirit and Hex Removal. Possibly [[Shield Guardian] would work well in there too? That way your Ele is pumping out the Rodgorts but also has a few good elements of party support in there too.

Enchanting weapon probably paramount.

You can run pretty much anything with ether renewal. With my para when I had to use Zhed for missions and was subbing out my D/N orders I used this build:

[build prof=E/N box energystorage=12+1+3 bloodmagic=12][ether renewal][aura of restoration][energy blast][order of pain][dark fury][strip enchantment][blood bond][well of blood][/build]

Let me get this strait, it only last for 7 seconds and has a 30 second recharge... let me link something from Wiki.

"For each point of Soul Reaping, you gain 1 Energy whenever a non-Spirit creature near you dies. You may only gain Energy in this way 3 times every 15 seconds."

So with 14 in soul reaping attribute, if you are killing fast, a healing necro can gain 14x3 energy every 15 seconds... then add Signet of Lost souls for an additional 94 health and 9 energy every 8 seconds. 14x3 =42, 9x2=18.

Assuming both characters have 14 in their primary attribute, and the ele has 3 enchants up at all times, and the ele casts 4 spells in 7 seconds which may be a stretch...

Over 16 seconds a necro can gain 60 energy and 188 health for free...
Over 16 seconds a ER Ele can gain ~48 energy and ~76 health for free...

Over 30 seconds the necro will nearly DOUBLE their free gained energy and health to ~120 energy and ~376 health, while the ele is still waiting on ER to recharge, having only gained maaaaybe ~50 energy and ~80 health at a stretch...

I'll keep my necro =P

EDIT: Whoops didnt count in attunement, but its pretty much null anyway, the necro will win.
