Zealous is a weapon mod that generates 1 energy every time you hit with an attack. It has the drawback of taking a permanent -1 energy regeneration.

So you should only use those zealous Daggers in a fight..... when you're not fighting you should switch to another weapon and your energy recovers normally.

You gain 1 energy everytime you hit. But you lose 1 pip of energy regen. Just like it says.

Assassin starts out with 4 pips of regen. The -1 regen just means you now have 3 pips of regen. Then every time you hit a foe you gain 1 energy.

and yes - if you want to regen your energy between battles, just have a non-zealous weapon in one of your other weapon slots and switch to that. It can be a pain remembering to do that, but you'll catch on. Also there are skills that get you even more energy while you are attacking, so on some builds, it won't matter if you keep your zealous on all the time.

Now vampiric - that's another story

It should also be pointed out that zealous is one of the best/most popular dagger mods to be used in PvE, as it will help keep your energy levels up in a fight. I suggest you just try using them for a while in a fight and get a feel for them. Zealous is one of those things that you don't really fully comprehend just how beneficial it is until you use it in a battle situation.

Its not fair if you only gain energy and don't havea degen. Be smart and change weapons in between fights.
