15% higher damage -5 energy is the penalty

there's...
15>50
20<50
20 while hexed
15 always -5 energy

Id rather have -10, as im not often attacked as a warrior, and if i am im retreating because ive over extended, so it doesnt make a huge difference.

I'd prefer the ^50, Stanced, or Enchanted, depending on my build.

Well it can be both tbh. Some people will just buy any old -5 energy axe/sword to combat e-denial, wheras others will buy a perfect 15% one for foghting, if theyre in an adrenal based build.

most wars prefer -5 cause most powerful warrior spikes are usually andrenaline

Err you can get them in factions from the crafter, no need to pay hefty sums.

As for uses, you use it to hide energy, or get consistent damage (warriors/rangers).

Casters buying a nice-skinned 15%/-5e are doing so for e-denial focus swapping and they usually will just buy a 13-14% since it's cheaper. Some will be picky and pay for perfect, but I have no clue why. Personally, a crafter or collector item is just fine. The only perfect rare I absolutely need is a shield.

(Speaking of crafters/collectors, has anyone seen one with 10/10 staffs? That's the other thing I need and it seems I have to buy rares or greens to get 10/10.)
