After this updates, I thought that i'll must stop with mine Boony
But I decided to use Mantra of Recall (sometimes Mantra + Power Drain...) , 'cuz OoB sacrifise 20% max. health.

So... What you think, is Mantra better or OoB is still good enough?

E drain and Drain enchantment are my choices atm.

Mantra can be stripped too early to be of any use. To prevent that you must keep it covered and hope you don't get hit by rend.

There's a discussion going on in the Monk section at the moment about this very topic.

Summary:
OoB: too much health
Mantra of Recall: enchantment, can be shattered, slow
Energy Drain: too slow, requires that you be near the enemy

The thing about Mantra of Recall is, that if it is stripped, you still get the energy boost. If you use Mantra with another energy skill, like Drain Enchantment or something, it is much better than other energy management skills, as you can gain the ~23 energy quickly (if shattered, or removed with CoP) and use Drain Enchantment as a backup.
