Divine Boon needs Debugging?

I like Divine Boon, and I used it, I admit.

But really.. does it need fixing?

Try it out yourself: Divine Boon + any 5 energy Monk skill.. use it often till you are at 5 energy and use again, where does the -2 enegy go?

Even funnier: Divine Boon + Divine Spirit (possibly even Glyph of Renewal) + any 5 energy Monk skill used at 1 energy left, where does the -2 energy of divine boon go? You cast any 5 energy Monk skill + the Divine Boon healing for 1 energy. Strange...

Anyone noticed that bug, too? Is it a bug, or is it a feature...

Most top notch guilds use the standard boon protector (Reversal of Fortune, Mend Ailment, Guardian, Divine Boon, Contemplation of Purity + Offering of Blood). Cause Boon is bugged? Hope not.. (tho I have to admit the above build rocks most PvP parts of Guild Wars currently)

your opinions please

your humble herr hong

u lose 2 energy, if u got the energy to lose or not. no bug

Just like energy steal, you can't loose the energy that you don't have.

They use Divine Boon because it provides a huge spike heal.

It would only be a bug if the description of Divine Boon said it raises the cost of spells by 2 energy. But it doesn't, it just subtracts 2 energy from you whenever you cast one. Note that the energy loss comes after the spell is finished, not when you first press the button - unlike the actual spell cost.

Hm.. ok, so non-casting cost subtractions will not produce negative energy.

Thanks for the clarifications.

Try using Divine Boon with Peace and Harmony, so you still have 4 energy regen, but have the added effect of extra healing.

But if this is for PvP, use Offering of Blood and Mantra of Recall. Peace and Harmony can be interupted a bit too easily by human players.
