possible energy issue solution

I've heard most mages have energy issues and the only way to fix the problem is to either buy thousands of sigils, or use energy cloak at the cost of dropping a damage skill.

To fix this issue would it be possible to bring back the old H2H build?

Pros of this build:
Dont have to rely on those expensive skills to do decent dps
Can be dps/support in the one build

cons of this build:
Bosses aoe means u can't H2h in fights
there aren't a wide variety of possible offhands

stats should remain fairly the same to what they r with the average build

Skills.
Now i havnt tried this build myself so dont go shouting noob.. Im just bored.

Max fire lure (es preferably with this skill)
max assassins lure (try to use a offhand that gives pierce dam)
Fire bolt
if u like u could also try attune, but that may be energy ineffective.

With your gear your lures will add a substantial amount of damage to your H2h, therefore meaning low energy use, high dps.

Please try (for fun) and give me some feedback

thanks

H2h isn't viable in killing the carrowmore bosses, because of tribal blade and such. Skills with AoE such as fire storm and ice blast are way too valuable as well for me to drop.

Do u think this build COULD work at a reasonably high level?

I can see it being a decently effective support/dps build but can't say it's the optimal mage build.

It was good in the past , but the auto of rogues s now like 1k+ and the h2h mage build didnt change exept offhand , necklace...
You will do maybe 600-700 auto but no more .
This build s for 160- ppl i think

You are dropping e boost yes, but e boost can be applied to other members which is very useful for dl bosses etc.
H2h mage you are also dropping offhand, which 300 focus offhand is a lot to replace with some auto dmg. To armo's point, when you use AoE nukes(fire storm and iceblast) you draw the adds, not as easy as h2h then either.

However I like your ideas of trying to get over the energy sig barrier. I have invested a fair bit into energysigs and have not regretted it since. :)
