Energy management linked to the Divine Favor attribute -- Stomatium 17:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Big issue

Is there only some e-management for monks anymore ?

Since the December 11th, 2008 update, two elite skills of e-management were deleted from Divine Favor ; but i quote the in-game description :

"For each rank of Divine Favor, allies are healed for 3.2 whenever you cast Monk spells on them. Several Monk skills, especially spells related to Energy gain and healing, become more effective with higher Divine Favor."

So, where is GW going to ?

Suggestions

Bring back some e-management to Divine Favor. Here we go :

• Boon Signet

Please revamp this skill according to its original aim and meaning ; for example :

1 8

Elite Signet. Heal a target ally and an adjacent other ally for 20...68...80 health.

Boon Signet returns you 1...5...6 energy for each of those allies who loses this amount of health or more. Cannot self-target.

• Divine Spirit

Completely outclassed, inefficient skill. Turn it more affordable and simply playable :

5 1/4 45

Enchantment Spell. For 1...15...18 seconds, your next 3 monk spells at 5 are free.

Your other monk spells cost you 5 less energy to cast. Minimum cost : 1 energy.

• Peace and Harmony

Please revert to its previous original meaning and purpose, but with a real elite status :

10 1 10

Elite Enchantment Spell. For 15...75...90 seconds, an ally or yourself gain +1...2 energy regeneration.

Peace & Harmony ends if you inflict damage or cast a spell on an enemy.

Progression
Divine Favor Duration Energy regeneration	0 15 1 1 20 1 2 25 1 3 30 1 4 35 1 5 40 1 6 45 1 7 50 1 8 55 2 9 60 2 10 65 2 11 70 2 12 75 2 13 80 2 14 85 2 15 90 2 16 95 2 17 100 2 18 105 2 19 110 2 20 115 2 21 120 2

note : such a skill would possibly unbalance the game in PvP. If so, just do a PvP version of it by fixing the energy regeneration to +1 through all the skill progression.

• Scribe's Insight

Interesting in its concept, but gives too little buff for an elite. What first comes to mind according to the name of this skill is something like that :

5 1/4 20

Elite Enchantment Spell. For 10...26...30 seconds, each signet you use activates and recharges 5...17...20% faster.

Scribe's Insight gives you 3 energy for each signet successfully used.

Progression
Divine Favor Duration Faster Activation (%) Faster Recharge (%)	0 10 5 5 1 11 6 6 2 13 7 7 3 14 8 8 4 15 9 9 5 17 10 10 6 18 11 11 7 19 12 12 8 21 13 13 9 22 14 14 10 23 15 15 11 25 16 16 12 26 17 17 13 27 18 18 14 29 19 19 15 30 20 20 16 31 21 21 17 33 22 22 18 34 23 23 19 35 24 24 20 37 25 25 21 38 26 26

• Proposal:

• Scribe's Insight -

5 ¼ 15 - (Divine Favor) - Elite Enchantment Spell. "For 12 seconds, you gain 0...2...3 energy and heal for an additional + 0...16...20 for every Signet (Maximum 2) you have equipped whenever you cast a Spell."

• Withdraw Hexes -

5 ¼ 5 - (Divine Favor) - Elite Spell. "Transfer all hexes from target ally to yourself. Heals ally for 5...29...35 Health for each hex acquired and you gain 0...2...3 Energy. Cannot self-target.

• Smite -

5 1 8 - (Smiting Prayers) - Spell. "Target foe is struck for 15...51...60 holy damage. If target is attacking, you gain 5 Energy plus 1 Energy for every 2 ranks of Divine Favor."

• Watchful Spirit -

5 ¼ 8 - (Divine Favor) - Spell. "If target ally is under the effects of an enchantment, you gain 0...8...10 energy." --Falconeye 05:48, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
