Talk:Reclaim Essence

works on minions too? if it does this is very good spammable energy management. Have two MM's in your party, one to be the 'battery' and one to be the normal MM. Might replace energy drain and mantra of recall for monks in pve
 * I assume it does. I'm using this and putrid flesh on my Rt/N minion bomber. Alternating them after Death Nova should be very fun. --71.50.184.177 01:39, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

I'm not too sure. Attuned Was Songkai works rather well with Boon of Creation, as you will get a good energy gain off minions, and also keep the cost of your other spells down. However, this is not vulnerable to enchant removal, and can be used to trigger Novas. Looks likely to come down to how much spiking you want off detonations.172.213.116.33 13:36, 17 November 2006 (CST)

this is spawning power so monks wont use it

Does this work with anything else other then minions or spirits? -Hesus

how does it work without a [proper] target?
Haven't tried yet myself as my Ritualist just gets going, any comment here? Sucks in the nearest allied spirit/minion available to be consumed, or instead complains no/not a valid target? Easy leeching off a hero MM would be nice --CKaz 16:26, 28 December 2006 (CST)

Usage
Really great for spam energy management, together with boon of creation this could be great for a MM or minion bomber. Still i dont think this will be used together with spirits. It belongs to the Rt/N's i think

I don't really think this would be good for bombers. Jagged Bones is the elite for Rt/N bombers (jagged bones will trigger explosive growth) I use Putrid Flesh (massive degen) or Taste of Death (depending of wether im fighting humans or not) to kill my minions. Boon of Creation Provides enough energy for a bomber to work. This skill might work on a Rt (restoration, channeling...) combined with an MM (hero?) --Rickyvantof 13:34, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

I dont see any good of using a LAME skill (jagged bones). Its recharge is way too long, and you will run low on energy really fast.

Reclaim Essence vs. Signet of Spirits
I hav no idea which is better. Signet of Spirits or Reclaim Essence? I would think it just depends on what type of build it is.
 * Signet of Spirits is terrible, Offering of Spirit is better. After that, it depends on your energy needs and how often you can destroy your own summoned creatures. --Kale Ironfist 01:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Reclaim Essence is Spawning Power, Offering of Spirit is Channeling. For that reason, I'd say Reclaim Essence is more flexible for spirit builds. --Curse You 23:37, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Hero AI
Can heroes use this skill correctly? More specifically, consider 1 MM and 1 rit with this elite. When the rit has no spirits down and low energy, will the rit hero use reclaim essence on the allied hero's minions?
