On a mesmer imp outside of Marhan's Grotto
OrangeArrow
As Stated its on a Mesmer Imp Outside Marhans Grotto Can Also be found on a Imp In Witman's Folly due east of Port Sledge. Easiest way to Cap it is to drain the imps energy with Domination and Inspiration skills.
Nice skill but is it so much better than the non elite skill energy tap?

How do you learn skills off of an enemy character? I understand they have the skill but how do I "learn" it?

To take it from an enemy you use a signte of capture.
During the enemy's cast or just after if you click on the signet it'll capture the spell and replace the signet with the spell.
Actually it'll always capture the last skill that the enemy used that you don't have. If you're getting the wrong skill you need to hit esc key fast, you only have 2 seconds. You'll only lose the ring but they cost enough that you don't want to be buying 100.
Usually this is done to get Elite spells, those spells are very top end though. If you just want a regular spell you can get them thru the skills trader.

@ Elythor
Well, it has a disadvantage... sometimes u cant capture the skill because of the missions ending after killing the boss...
@ dave the barb
Witmans Folly is east of Droknars Forge. U get to Droknars Forge after finishing Dragons Lair mission :-)

I was unable to find any boss mobs right outside Marhan's Grotto. I checked multiple times by re-zoning. I did find it in Whitman's Folly.

Hmm I'm a bit confused.. I checked the one outside Marhan's Grotto but it seems to be an Elementalist Imp, not a Mesmer one.

For some elite skill bosses they share the spawn with another proffession. This post has links to maps with bosses shown on map (& which skill they have).
So either Snik Hungrymind or Maak Frostfiend will spawn at that location (Witman´s Folly).

This is easily one of the best elites in the game. I use it for energy management and energy deprivation at the same time on my healer Mo/Me for PvP. It has a quick cast time, gives me a good amount of energy, and steals enough energy to quickly seal and targetted enemy's fate.
audioaxes
say you have full energy and you cast this spell. Will it still take energy away from the enemy even though you are full of enemy and cant absorb the stolen energy?

You can just cast capture signet over a bosses dead body and choose from any skill they posses to capture. I've never met a boss with an Elite I can't capture.

Nice skill but is it so much better than the non elite skill energy tap? Energy tap is casted at 3 seconds. While Energy drain only 1 second. Energy Drain also drains more...
Ahhhh the elite of choice for Denial Healer Mo/Me monks everywhere. With this skill a Denial Healer monk can deny energy to enemy casters while fueling his energy to keep healing. It also allows a more prominent use of Heal Other. Use it offensively. But make sure you have a general idea of where the enemy caster is.

Energy drain is extremely powerful indeed. I use it with my E/me "Super Energy" build all day long. Drain their mana, boost my own. All you have to do is get a run to droks and a map and you can get it! (Just get 7 hench- all but the enchanter, let them do the work and kill the boss in the east of witmans folly. I got this skill at level 12. This is my elite of choice.
