General Discussion - Explain Eldritch Battery better - Forum

" dcdennis a écrit : tyvm, this is all that i was looking for. tbh i didnt even know you were allowed to cast more than one aura. i thought they would override each other so i never even tried. Yep, not only can you cast more than one aura but you can have more auras than skill spots. i.e. you have 8 spots for skills. You can turn on 5 auras, then change all your auras back to skills and the auras will still be on until you log out or die. Hope this helps you some in your current or future builds.

What I don't quite understand is this: You don't get ES unless you equip items with ES, right? So if you use Eldritch Battery, does that mean you have to equip hybrid armor? Because otherwise, how are you going to have any ES to convert into mana? And if you do use hybrid armor, does that mean that by making an EB buld effective, you knowingly sacrifice armor/evasion in order to get more auras? If so, then that's fair enough. I just never put a lot of thought into EB because I either a) thought I'd need the ES, as in a CI build, or b) wasn't using ES gear because I wasn't a CI build. :) I saw a video once where someone used EB and use an aura or buff to get a LOT of mana. But I don't know what kind of gear made that work. Invited to Beta 2012-03-18 / Supporter since 2012-04-08	Posté par VideoGeemer#0418 le 20 mars 2013 à 17:39:31 Citer ce post

How does it give you 1000 mana though? Looks like it's give you 341. You got +200% to ES or mana in your passives? That would take a lot of passive points to achieve, right?

it converts all energy shield to mana reading i do it by making letters into words which have meaning to my brain i then take those meanings to ascertain what a string of words means together i learned it in school (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س (سಥ益ಥ)س	Posté par RitualMurder#3177 le 20 mars 2013 à 20:17:31 Citer ce post

Maybe it's not a 1:1 ratio of transfer, kinds like how evasion transfers more than 1:1 to armor via IR?

Perhaps the fact thae intelligence provides a % increase to ES and a a% increase to mana? I suspect that's at last part of it. Got any of the "increased ES from equipped shield" or "increased defences from shield" nodes, perhaps? Thanks to everyone involved in getting this thread back on track, btw. From the previous page I was fully expecting it to be unrecoverable.

I use eldritch battery for the extra regen. The synergy with that aura that gives extra energy shield is amazing as well.	Posté par DichotomousThree#0868 le 20 mars 2013 à 20:43:34 Citer ce post
