Energy Drain

Description
Target foe loses 4...9 Energy. You gain 2 points of Energy for each point of Energy lost.

Note
If you're looking for an energy recovery skill, you should consider Mantra of Recall instead. It has a better energy gain per use and a faster recharge time. However, Energy Drain provides a higher rate of return on a lower energy expenditure investment. It also provides the opportunity to damage your foe while aiding yourself. When you're scraping for every point of energy toward the end of a battle, you're more likely to have 5 spare points to invest than 10!

The best use for this skill is as part of an energy denial build.
