If your unhappy with energy costs don't max skills. Instead, spread them, or use the almighty MEDITIATE.
MEDITIATE is your friend ppl, use it!
Lol! Just lol! Nice troll.
Meditate DOES NOT work in combat anymore just like sigils. It hogs points from a class with the most skills and where every point counts. No toon over lvl 50 should even have meditate equipped much less points in it.
Not maxing skills = fail. Having many crappy skills is nowhere near as effective as a few maxed ones.
The only real solution is to buy top end lux but that starts to fail around lvl 150-170 as energy needs surpass the best regen items. Sigils help but are expensive in either direct by plat or indirect through opening chests and trading. Many just build for short battles only and fail at long ones.
That would be an issue if ur the kind of guy who wants to simply mow all the mobs down without breaks. CH is not a dungeon running rushing game like Pocket Legends, you actually NEED TO TAKE BREAKS every few mobs, so if you are annoyed by the constant breaks, be prepared to spend alot of plat.
Meditate, along with other energy regen skills such as eboost and sacri and energy harvest, are there for a reason. non platters will need to put pts in these if they are solo players who hates grp lvling (which is actually the most effective lvling tech for non platters) or they want to avoid the tavern inconvenience (which is an issue when you need to run ALL THE WAY back to ur lvling ground in big maps). Of course, you will find ppl and guides that say how meditate is a crappy skill. These ppl are mostly platters who have adequate lux/sigil regen. If you are looking forward into playing this game for free YOU WILL NEED MEDITATE to get you going, despite the "dps decrease" stated by many players (with most being platters) because without energy you will have nothing but ur auto atk, which sucks.
Same goes for recuperate and bandage, most players who say how they are usually platters with sufficient health sigils/regen or a druid to tag along. If you are a nonplatter looking forward into solo lvling and hates the inconvenience of going to tavern. YOU WILL NEED THESE SKILLS.
