to energy or not to energy that is the question.

[JohnYKR]

I am making my first fire elemental druid and i was wondering if i needed to put any points in energy. I am completely untwinked, because this is my first ladder char.

Even if it is your first I don't think you would really need to

In the Guide Sticky there is a very good Fire [elemental] Druid Guide by our own moderator Garbad

Also if this is your first you might want to skimp a bit on the synergies and but a bit in summons for a tank (if you don't have a party to go with)

Good Job on choosing Fire over Wind (which you might also want to try as it is very strong and could work well to mf you some gear)

Get leaf rune-word staff (TirRal), put a tir or two in your helm, and some saphires in your armour. You'll do fine for mana that way :)

At low levels MB is devestatingly powerful, and can often regain it's mana cost by the time you come to recast it with just a few Tir runes in your gear :)

Most Druid casters don't use any Energy, because of timers, relatively low casting costs, and above all, Mana Potions :D

You should do fine with base energy.

Good luck!

just to kinda backup what proud said, there's a "golden" rule that is almost always followed when making druids...

Energy does not exist... it's not there... it is not an option, because we don't need it...
Druids get more mana per lvl than the average char... i still wonder about that sometimes o.O (were we meant to be casters?)

BLASPHEMY!! AHHHHHHHH BD that almost made me want to play again just so I could kill you melee style -.-


I agree. No energy

[Black_Dog]

hey hey hey... BD is still one of the best around ;)
btw zabo, you currently do not possess a char that could kill a quill rat...

the bigger question is why do pallys only get 2 life per vit? Zons get 3
