Erm isnt this the windrider one? &mdash; Skuld  09:55, 16 June 2006 (CDT)

nope, just same stats, still need to find out if its just Jade brotherhood ritualists, or all jade brotherhood

Energy
So, it gives a bonus of +30 Energy, but also has -5 energy? Then shouldn't it just be +25 energy? --Amontillado 12:28, 21 June 2006 (CDT)
 * its +30 health no?--Aratak 12:30, 21 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Ahh, sorry about that. Misread it. --Amontillado 12:46, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

I don't understand the purpose of the -5 Energy, why have it give you +12 Energy, and then take away 5. Why not just make the fan worth +7 Energy and be done with it, it makes no sense


 * If you have a green +12 focus with no req it will give you 3 energy. White and green items would give +3, blue gives +6 I think. &mdash; Skuld  13:25, 27 June 2006 (CDT)


 * It is used for a technique called "energy hiding" in PvP. I use it a lot with my casters and it works extremely well if you can micromanage it. - Stexe


 * The -5 energy is a compensation for the +5 Armor. They can't have you get something good from it, without having to sacrifice something else. -- Fiz [[image:QuestIconThumb.png]] 00:37, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
 * besides, dropping to an empty set is a better way to hide energy. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 01:40, 27 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Right, these are greens Anet slipped in as a nod for focus swapping in PvP. Their use in PvE is pretty limited unless you run Rebirth. Seef II 02:39, 27 August 2006 (CDT)
