Talk:Mantra of Recall vs Offering of Blood

also worth noting - there are items for faster recharge for Blood Magic spells and no items that speed up gaining energy with Inspiration Magic.


 * Sure there is. This guy has one, for instance. And you can indeed recover your energy from Mantra of Recovery Recall much faster than standard with Contemplation of Purity, for instance, or if an enemy strips your enchantment (which then serves several functions, not the least of which is to waste your enemy's time). --Bishop 16:44, 9 March 2006 (CST)


 * He might have been referring to mantra of recall specifically. Also, looking at this article, it's definitely not what its title says.  I'll work on something with the proper scope, but it might be a couple days before I come up with a draft (and it'll only deal with PvP).  --68.142.14.57 17:00, 9 March 2006 (CST)
 * Sounds like a good initiative, I'm sure a much deeper exploration of the energy management skills would be quite useful.--Bishop 17:09, 9 March 2006 (CST)

I stand corrected about the items (note to self: do not post at 5 am); however, itemization should definitely be taken into account when comparing the effectiveness of such skills. Also, Mantra of Recall practically forbids you to use +20% longer ecnh. upgrades, unless of course one feels like switching weapons every time (s)he casts the spell (pity, since I really like Kepkhet's Refuge).--Tilmune 18:20, 9 March 2006 (CST)


 * Moved the article to a more fitting name. If you go ahead with your comparison article, the old article name still exists (currently as a redirect to this article), so feel free to expand it into a real comparison of energy management spells. --Xeeron 19:20, 9 March 2006 (CST)


 * I strongly object to this move, especially since this comparison is for monks alone and not a general skill comparison. But whatever. 21:50, 9 March 2006 (CST)


 * Hmmm Mantra of Recall vs Offering of Blood for monks seemed to be a bit longish for me and apart from the selfheal via Orison, most of the comparison is valid for other classes as well. Apart from that, the old name did not mention monks either and furthermore gave the impression of comparing all energy management spells. --Xeeron 22:01, 9 March 2006 (CST)


 * Of course it gave the impression that it was a comparison of all energy management skills. That was the goal, after all. It was a (temporarily abandoned) work in progress. The self heal for OoB is the sole reason the math works in favor of MoR. In fact, this point is the raison d'&ecirc;tre for the choice between the skills; otherwise OoB would be the uncontested winner. 22:06, 9 March 2006 (CST)
