Talk:Ether Prodigy

only problem with that is that ether prodigy is energy storage - a /e could only have 5 seconds of this ability, making it awful as a secondary.


 * Agreed. Removed.  --Fyren 15:55, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree as well. A w/e would get all of 10 energy over 5 seconds with EP, and then suffer exhaustion. The warrior could only do this once or twice, since a character with 20 energy can't take too many hits of exhaustion. The exhaustion would take 30 seconds to wear off, meaning the warrior could cast EP once every 30 seconds. 10 energy over 30 seconds is the same as one additional pip of energy regen, at the cost of constant exhaustion.--Kiiron 08:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


 * See what happens when you think you've got a good idea at three in the morning. I removed the damage I inflicted. Kessel 22:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Since all the values seem to be sequential, can we go out on a limb and say that 17 would be 22 secs? --Zerris 23:17, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * If it's really, really obvious, sure. Otherwise use this and plug in verified values for 0 and 15.  Should be easy to figure out, but there's a little more info about it at Talk:Skill details.  --Fyren 00:12, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Er, and what I said over at Talk:Aura of Restoration. --Fyren 00:27, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Rewrote the added notes. Limitless isn't a very good way to describe it, since it's not particularly difficult to spend the incoming energy. Lightning strike, lighting orb, and enervating charge can burn through 80 energy in just 18s. Blinding flash in particular can eat up energy. There's plenty of spells in any element that will go through prodigy's energy. --Fyren 00:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

The line on energy spent per second spamming flare and fireball does not take into account aftercast. --128.171.230.38 15:25, 13 May 2006 (CDT)

Recasting and Me
Sooo

I was having fun with echo after I capped it, and I echod Prodigy.

I got exhaustion down to 0.

When I recast at five, the old enchant took its damage off of me, which was 0 because I had 0 energy after casting.

But, it didn't label it.

Should we put a wierd technical note concerning that in there?

._o

dodging damage
you could avoid taking damage by filling your bar with exhaustion! great idea, eh? or just switch to an energy hiding weapon set right before it ends. i like my first idea better though. Mr Dan 14:34, 9 December 2006 (CST)

Are you talking about my previous comment? My point was, it says -(damage) (Ether Prodigy), but if you take 0 damage, it just says 0. --Blastedt(Talk) 18:54, 9 December 2006 (CST)

use protective spirit, hide your energy ? yea sure. congratulations this is the worst elite in gw because it was overnerfed for the sake of PvP balance
 * What? This skill has been changed twice.  The first change made it better.  The second change had it go from 2 damage to 3 damage which made no difference at all.  This was widely used until Nightfall which introduced alternatives to heal party and blinding flash.  --Fyren 12:38, 17 February 2007 (CST)

If the damage can't be decreased, should we consider it as life stealing?System Of A Guild 11:49, 24 February 2007 (CST)
 * Not life stealing but just loss of health like from Shadow Form imo--64.230.107.131 16:48, 24 February 2007 (CST)

57?
There's a note that says this gives 2 energy per second for its duration, which can be 57 energy for elementalists with 12 energy storage. What? 17 X 2 is not and never will be 57, thank you very much. Arkhar 14:43, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
 * No, that's not actually what the note says. --Fyren 16:51, 1 April 2007 (CDT)

yes that line is confusing. after i read the discussion page i went and had to read it 3 times before i made any sense of what it was saying. they mean total of all your energy regen after using this enchant (4+6regen) u gain 57e in 17seconds. (3*17=[51e] + 1/3*17=[5 2/3e])=57e
