Talk:Energy Burn

Attribute level 19 and 20
How were attribute levels 19 and 20 tested? As far as I know these values cannot be reached by mesmers in either PvE or PvP. Level 18 would be max for PvE and lvl 17 for PvP. --CoRrRan 15:35, 4 May 2006 (CDT)

Skill Relations
Am I the only one who doesn't find Energy Burn related to Mind Wrack and Famine? Mind Wrack and Famine both have conditional effects when a creature reaches 0 Energy, while Energy Burn is only effective while target foe has more than 0 Energy. --CoRrRan 16:17, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Energy Burn can be used to trigger Mind Wrack and Famine. Since both of these skills do damage, using Energy Burn could cause a nice damage spike since it adds damage itself. --Vortexsam 16:21, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
 * So relation should be regarded as "combo" rather than "relation in Skill-effect"? (I.e. "Energy Burn can be used in combination with Mind Wrack/Famine".) IMO "relation" should relate to the skills' effect, rather than saying they make a nice combination. --CoRrRan 17:00, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
 * Wither > Famine in PvP, in which you want to be spiking. --Rickyvantof 05:01, 27 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Famine does not work in pvp. That's why I bashed the famine build on wiki so much. M s4 20:15, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

Storm Chaser
Can someone please confirm that this does indeed trigger Storm Chaser? Silver Sunlight 10:06, 13 May 2007 (CDT)
 * It doesn't. --Fyren 17:45, 13 May 2007 (CDT)

Fractions on energy?
Was doing a test against the master of enchantment, and I had drained their energy to the point where Energy burn couldnt drain the full 8 energy, it dealt 62 damage. Dose this skill just assume fractions of energy points when theres not the full ammount to drain?-- Thelordofblah 16:49, 7 June 2007 (CDT)


 * OK I cant seem to get this to happen again, but here was the screen from the first time it happened, anyone explain?   -- Thelordofblah  16:57, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

 * wow gg. M s4 18:27, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I thought that was only physical... I guess thats gg 2 me.goddammit-- Thelordofblah 23:28, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

Note
"In PvP, this skill is primarily used for its Energy-draining effects." I dont see how its primarily being used for its energy drain effects. This skill provides a good deal of armor ignoring damage, I have seen many people use it for a spike build. 194.151.226.35 10:30, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's both, really. Big domages + less energy to heal said big domages + Energy Surge + Mind Wrack = an imbalanced amount of pressure coming from 1 player :< --Macros 15:59, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
