Everybody knows that druids have major issues with energy, especially at high levels but not much has been done about it. So instead of talking about it ambiguously, I decided to take a video to prove it. My hope is that OTM will see this and take it into consideration. Please share your experiences as well. I apologize for the poor quality of the video, it's the best I can do without paying money and not jailbreaking.
Video is here: http://youtu.be/Ry2d5HTtA3s
My concern is that with 65 per tick energy regen, and 300+ energy sigils I could only kill 3 mobs before almost running out of energy. I did a 4th, and that completely wiped out my energy. Energy Harvest was a nice attempt, but it doesn't really address what druids need to be a functioning class. I hope OTM will be taking another look at this soon.
Re: Energy Issues
#2What isn't highlighted is you have 7.5k of energy.
To sit and wait for that amount to rejuv is the problem.
No matter how much energy you have you can never say ahead.
During boss fights I always have to use a energy rejuv elixir and it still is not enough.
It a problem and no one seems to care.

Re: Energy Issues
#3the only thing this proves is druids are not good at soloing. instead of giving us a one sided perspective, show us a duo, a group level, and a boss fight.
I can assure you the latter three will have your energy right as rain.

#4Elvra for the record, I had massive energy issues when duoing with aargorn and often run out of mana on boss fights.the only thing this proves is druids are not good at soloing. instead of giving us a one sided perspective, show us a duo, a group level, and a boss fight.

I have a level 187 druid and a level 167 druid. From my experience the druid class is underpowered and energy is a significant issue. Druids easily need another dmg skill also.

Re: Energy Issues
#5In a group I still have enrrgy problems woth 600 sigils and 65 energy regen
No ome wamts tp wait aroumd for a druids sigild to kick in ur waosting a lix soo tht doesmt work much
I have to use a energy lix every time I traim evertime I boss fight its dumb and when my supply runs out ill basically be usless
People would think that havin paid for 600 sigils would be more than enough (that's like 150 $ usd) but its mot
Evem on boss fights I still chug restos like a mad man same with training obly druid I know who is 180+ tht dosent have energy problems has 3k sigils ill be damned if I buy tht many sigils
I have to use a energy lix before I go in arena if I play to kill killian
My druids full focus (I have aggy braclets for vit) and I have atound 8.6k emergy amd 3k health
Usimg a hero energy lix (which can only be gotten from chest btw and they are leaving) gives me around 300ish per tick
Right now my druid is dps
1 skill rotation (lighting vines swarm stormtouch) cost me 2074 energyy
Its same beimg in a heal build (which I have come to never be heals I benfiet my clan better as dps) my natures breath cost like 1k energy and bark like 500 plus touch like 300ish almost2k energy as well that's crazy
If a druid wants to work to its full potential it needs sigs restos and energy lixers
This is not true for no other class energybharvest dosemt get enough energy and has too long a cooldown to be effective and if ur heals it puts u in combat ill try and make a video of my next boss fight without using a emergy elix or a single resto and ill even max energyharve and I won't let myself out od combat so my sigils don't tick for me

Re: Energy Issues
#6I'll have to take more videos then, but I can explain each scenario until I get them. Please take into account I have about 300 sigils.
Duoing
I usually duo level with a full DL rogue. I need a hero energization lix to keep up. I usually use one per every two xp lix (30 min). I let my energy drain almost all the way down (about 7 min), pop a hero energy lix which only fills me up to full after about 13 minutes into the lix, and then once the hero energy lix expires I let my energy drain again. Rinse and repeat.
Group level
I usually don't group level, only duo. It's similar to duoing though.
Bossing
I absolutely need a hero energy lix on every 6* dragonlord armor boss fight. And even with that lix on, my energy consumption still does not keep up. I literally use more energy than I regain while using a hero energization lix. Now granted that is if I am the only druid there. If another druid is there helping to cast vines and swarm, I can use a hero energy lix and keep up fine.
The thing that gets me is that plat items are absolutely necessary to play this class, they are not a luxury. Other classes can function fine in many respects without needing plat items. But I cannot even farm for gold on low level mobs without periodically stopping for an energy break. I believe this is why druids get played much less than the melee classes.

Re: Energy Issues
#10That's a silly comment.How about stop trying to DPS and do your real job, maybe that will help.
A toon's real job is what they enjoy doing. Every once in a while I try to go full support and hate it. I like to fight and heal. I go hybrid with a heavy dose of DPS, using charms and rings to swing both ways a little more easily.
I have played other classes too and have energy issues with them also, mostly because many of us max out a few skills and they use a lot of energy. I often have to retune my guys to use more skills and less than max levels so I don't have to use as much energy. And use an energy lix if I don't have a mage around to boost when lvling or killing a big boss.
When there is a mage around, the warriors, etc. are all asking for boosts too...
