Three Times SF

Hello all,

so i heared that when you're doing NM, it's really helpful to get three SF elli's. Because it's huuuge pressure and you can kill mobs really fast. Well i've tried it and it's true. But some NM area's still can be a pain sometimes. So i thought; lets do it like Sabway, it has both pressure and defensive.

So, i started making a base, SF, fire att. Glowing gaze, GoLe Searing Heat.
Then i made 1 hero N/RT, i put Vengeful weapon, death pact signet and Life in that bar. with 9 resto.
The other 1 i made Prot spirit, aegis and ress sig, 8 protection.
The last 1 i made E/N, with weaken armor, enfeebling blood and ress sig.

So it actually worked pretty well, but i noticed that my heroes ran out of energy really quick. So, can you please tell me what i'm doing wrong? What could be better?

Thanks,
DAe

More than likely with all the Searing Flames going around you're killing enemies before you can even get Glowing Gaze off, not to mention the reason why Sabway/Discordway works so well is Soul Reaping.

Personally I never go anywhere without a hero with [[Blood Ritual]. You might want to look into that.

Maybe you should try running a team of 3 necros or rits with SF for great lulz.

Tri-Necro builds work because they kill stuff fast and get energy back from Soul Reaping. The only thing that might come close to that for an Ele is Ether Renewal, but that kills the idea of wanting to use SF.

I've taken SF heroes through NM before, and I never had a problem with energy. My bigger problem was dying, actually ><.

If I had to guess, I'd say you're having energy problems because you're not waiting to regen in between fights. 70 energy takes almost a minute to go back up.

If you still have problems with energy, you could try inspiration interrupts, but probably the better solution is using a battery build. I'm thinking a "The Power is Yours!" hero with "They're on Fire!" probably should be enough.

Also remember that you should be taking advantage of your own bar flexibility. EBSoH is incredible on a SF team if you have access to it. Also, you need snares. Deep Freeze + Auspicious Incantation.

with 3 SFs your heros dont have much time use glowing gaze, so the only energy gain is from attunment and GoLE, the reason tri-necros work so well is because they automatically get energy back no matter how fast you kill enemies. try running SF on necros, might be a problem with initially starting out with the spike but once they get started and once enemies die they should be fine.
