Question on Enchantment and Energy regain...

I noticed that if I cast an enchantment, my energy regain slows down, and if I cast yet a second one it completely stops. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?

Look at the skill/spell's "cost's" - if it has a -1 energy regen cost it means whenever you cast that enchantment you will loose 1 pip of energy regen while it's maintained. Only way to "fix" this is to cancel the enchantment, as this will then remove the maintanence cost.

Take a look for example at the spell "Blessed Aura"

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/skill/217-blessed-aura

It has an energy cost of 10, which means you loose 10 energy at time of cost..

However, it also as an Energy UpKeep cost of 1 pip of energy regeneration. This means for as long as you maintain Blessed aura, you will loose 1 pip of energy regeneration. This maintanence will end when you cancel Blessed aura.

And for every enchantment you cast that requires an energy upkeep, you will loose 1 pip of energy regen - which means you can get into negative energy regen if you try and maintain too many enchantments that require upkeep.
