Talk:Glyph of Lesser Energy

From Guild Wars Wiki

This skill gets so much use by me it's rediculous. I wish it had a better elite version. MiraLantis 07:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

It can be used on any spellcaster saving 20e every 30 seconds, its rediciously good when you aren't in need of a particular secondairy profession. The elite version really needs to affect two spells, its useless as it is now. SniperFox 14:11, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Glyph of energy gets used on a whole lot of mesmers in GvG. Fail less. Lord of all tyria 14:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Not nearly as much after recent updates. Only saves like 5 energy every 10 secs + exhaustion for mesmers. :P U fail less. Psychiatric Consultant 22:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

-- Back to this skill a secondary class gets 15e [ (2 * 10) - 5 ] every 30 seconds, is this really that much better than other options? --63.246.206.241 16:48, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Finally

Finally areanet put an end to that exploit with this skill.William Wallace 01:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

What exploit? Cancelling skills to avoid being interrupted/diverted? That's just playing smart... Saphatorael 19:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Canceling skills without losing any power, no that's an exploit.William Wallace 08:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Fear the burst of color over my head that I'm exploiting!!! (Yeah, I can totally see why this needed to be "fixed") Barkingllama 07:12, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

It was a terrible change to begin with. This skill was the only way to get around the insane energy costs that ANet kept throwing on to every good skill; but as soon as you used Glyph, you'd have ever mesmer on the other team waiting to interrupt your next spell. Canceling was the only reliable way to get spells off, on any competitive level. Since it was such a poorly done change, I don't care a whole bunch that people were exploiting it. ANet really needs to understand their game before destroying it like this. -Auron 07:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Added skill trainer

I went to goto *Captain Greywind (North Kryta Province) for meteor shower and saw that he also taugh Glyph of Lesser Energy--The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:86.143.99.0 (talk).

And you are sure this was not an earlier unlock? Backsword 14:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Come to think of it, it could be. However I do not recall having played an elementalist previously on my account.

[edit] Hero usage

I cleaned up that note, but I'm wondering if the impact is more extensive than noted. In other words, would a hero that has points in Energy Storage and thus a greater reduction in energy cost not cast spells that are less than X cost where X is the reduction? And, does this only apply to healing spells (which strikes me as odd)? Freedom Bound 12:29, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

After testing it with Gwen, I can confirm that it isn't limited to monks only. WIth Glyph up, she refused to cast any of the 7 5-energy spells I had on her bar. -- Hong 09:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Vekk also. Is this a bug or the way the glyph is supposed to work ? Nikademo 12:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Since you mentioned Vekk, if he had, say, 10 energy storage, does he also refuse to use 15-energy spells? As far as whether or not it's a bug, I would think it's a bug, but that the heroes are using it the way they're programmed to (i.e. they're trying to optimize the utilization of the glyph). --Freedom Bound 19:42, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
