Exhaustion is not a condition.

fawgre

I didn't think it was either, but it's listed here in the Conditions section. I mean, yeah, obviously, GWG is not the Voice of God in this situation, but Exhaustion very... condition-ish?

I am pretty sure certain conditions like exhaustion, death penalty, the world effects cannot be removed or transferred using skills.

Nash

Let's just say, it's not removed by condition removal, it can't be transferred to others, and it's not a character effect that shows up with an icon on the corner with the other conditions. It just cuts off a piece of your energy bar.

And, I, learned something today, dogs, don't, lay eggs.

Some one has to get that one!

The best way I know of to get rid of exhaustion is to die. Death cures all conditions.

Well I am sure the enemy team would be more than happy to help you cure the exhaustion then...

Actually, I wonder about that death thing... As I remember time where I was revive and still with some exhausion left... (thx to gale, huge exhausion)

I believe it is just that it still recover slowly while you are dead.

Unless someone want to tell me that I remember wrong. (I might have, but I doubt it)

What exaclty does exhaustion do, and how long does it last?

Sausaletus Rex

Exhaustion 101.

The basics:
-You lose 10 energy from your maximum.
-You don't lose energy from your current energy. So, if you cast an Exhaustion spell at 30/30 energy you'll have 25/20 energy.
-You can spend that excess energy you just can't regenerate it.
-You cannot cast a spell with a cost more than your maximum energy.
-The effects of exhaustion wear off at a rate of 1 maximum energy per 3 seconds, the equivalent of a pip. So, at 3 seconds you'll have -9 maximum energy, at 6 -8, at 9 -7, and so on until it disappears completely at 30 seconds (There seem to be fractional values so that's all an equivalent).
-Exhaustion should disappear when you die.

The more advanced stuff. Exhaustion is something that's typically found on Elementalist skills, I can't think of a skill from another list offhand that has it, and it helps to limit those skills to primary Elementalists. Exhaustion only hurts when it starts to cut into your ability to cast spells, that's when you dip below the casting cost of a skill. Elementalists have Energy Storage which increases their maximum energy so it takes them longer to reach that point. For most characters an Exhaustion every 15~30 seconds is fine. Two or three is going to cripple you. But for an Elementalist you can easily absorb the effects of four or five exhaustions before you start to feel any ill-effects. Skills that cost Exhaustion and have recycles of around 30 seconds, like Ether Prodigy, are pretty muchpenalty free. It's when you get into spammable spells, like Gale or Obsidian Flame, that you'll run into trouble.

I know this is a pretty ancient thread, but it seemed to have the best information about Exhaustion so far, and I had one further question:

Is the rate of recovery for Exhaustion affected by your normal energy regeneration rate?

I know everyone has said it's 1/3 energy per second, but I wonder if that's tied to someone who has four pips of energy regen. If you run Ether Prodigy, or a Necro uses Blood To Power or whatnot, will that help with exhaustion at all?

I'm suspecting it doesn't, but I can't find anyone who has addressed that specifically.
