ok so, here are the skills i use for my solo UW monk, for enchantments i use
protective bond, essence bond, balthazars spirit, and mending. But when i was doing the ice caves of sorrow (to get to iron mines for second attribute quest) the white mantle justicalrs/knights were hitting me but it wasnt giving me energy. Anyone know why? (i have enough points in portection prayers for portective bond to only take 2 energy a hit)

its very odd i have a similar problem with my monk

when i used him for smite runs, id get very little energy returns from minotaurs, but when id help my friends in ascalon doing early missions, id have more energy then i knew what to do with.

very odd, i'd like to know if anyone has a fix to this also

you answered your own question ...

upkeep = protective bond, mending, essence bond and balthazaars

so you have no regen ...

protective bond takes 2 away every hit, while essence and balthazaars gives 2 ... so you have 0 regen per hit ... you answered your own question

GET LEVEL 17 cast out protective bond!

i know i have no regen but i have essence and balthazars, essence gives 1 energy per physical dmg hit. and balthazars is suposed to give 2 per hit, if you have it at about 14 right?

Read the skill description on Protective Bond again. Your losing 3 energy everytime you get hit. With 14 in protection you might be only losing 2...but still that's why your not gaining energy as Stumpy just mentioned.

Who said Balthazar's Spirit gave two energy per hit?

I've never heard that; I was pretty sure it always gave exactly one energy per hit (but adrenaline varies by attribute)

Balthazar's Spirit only gives 1 energy per hit.

GET LEVEL 17 cast out protective bond! stumpy nailed it. your energy upkeep is offset by your energy received. you'll need 1 nrg from protective bond, with a 17 cast.
