Anybody able to tell me whats the max energy and hp on off hand items for monks?

Arturo02 · Jul 27, 2005, 05:36 PM // 17:36

depends on whether it's your pimp hand.

Carinae · Jul 27, 2005, 05:53 PM // 17:53

The best I've ever seen is +27 energy, +30 health with -1 energy regen.

I have seen these for monk and necro classes.

The monk one is out in the desert and I do believe it is the highest energy gain available in the game.

Chrono Cross · Jul 27, 2005, 06:05 PM // 18:05

ok, thanks for the info, also wondering whats the max energy for holy rods if anyone knows.

Warlawk · Jul 27, 2005, 06:09 PM // 18:09

highest BASIC energy bonus is +12

you can also get items from collectors which have an addition +15 energy (totalling +27) and +30 health... but they give you-1 energy regen. that penalty to regen makes them essentially worthless except for gimmick builds designed to get by with zero energy regen... and even then youre giving up an enchantment to get an extra 15 mana... bad investment.

I would disagree in some situations. One more pip of regeneration gives 1/3 mana per second, (correct?) so as long as the battle lasts less than 45 seconds it's a gain.

ok, thanks again. Think I'm ready to go on a shopping spree now

Algren Cole · Jul 27, 2005, 06:17 PM // 18:17

also..you can hve multiple weapon sets...keep the +27 -1 icon in a second weapon set and when you're out of mana and see that warrior getting near death quickswitch for the +27 heal and throw an enchant on him and then switch back for the regen.

EF2NYD · Jul 27, 2005, 06:20 PM // 18:20

Some collector rods have +15 energy with -1 energy regen, so 15 might be the max.

Chrono Cross · Jul 27, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

hmm, good idea on that weapon switch for the energy boost when low on energy

WORTHLESS??? You're over-exagerating. Thats a LOT of energy, and you still have 3 pips of regen. It's essentailly required if you need to cast big 25 point spells back to back.

Additionally you can use a number of spells to boost your energy regen if necessary.

However, I want to ask everyone if the -1 regen is required on items over a certain amount of energy. I have seen several Gold items that offered 15 energy with no penalty. Is the penalty REQUIRED? Is it POSSIBLE to find a +27/+30 with no penalty?

Lol well just saying nO is too short

The most add energy I have seen without a penalty is +5 and that had the restriction of >50% life.
