Default Show us our Teamates Energy levels.

Just right under the health bar. That way you can better judge if a fellow team mate is in trouble, or needs to recharge their energy. I know ive herd of plenty of pissed monk's who's team members won't wait for their energy to renegarate. Yes there is ctrl+click on energy bar but this is far more efficiant.

I agree, i would like to see my teams energy bar... That would be good for me cause my necro has a skill that adds +3 to energy regen... and would be nice to see which ones could use that.

I think this is very needed. Because I know that people can get in trouble if they are in a situation that, even though they could handle with full energy, they cannot handle without energy.

YES!

This is so needed, often I have to ask people to stop so I can recover energy, often they just run off and then complain since I couldn't use any spells.

Necros, monks and Elementalists need power to be useful.

aye.. i would like to see this added as well

I think its funny that the cultist knows when you need energy, but none of the real people your grouped with do, unless you tell them.

I'm amazed this isn't already in the game. For that matter, seeing your target's energy is important as well.

This would be a godsend for anyone using a skill like Blood Ritual, BiP or the like on healers. As it is, it's inconvenient to stop healing to ask for a en boost over chat. Thankfully, Blackace is pretty good at knowing when to throw one on me anyways.

nah! Yes this should be in game, but it would make the game easiler if you could see target energy levels, you could juts gimp on the lowest powered mages, etc...

This would make Blood Ritual a viable skill during pick up groups...

You simply can't rely on the person Ctrl + clicking to let you know their energy is low all the time. Especially if it's a pick up group or a random arena team.

As opposed to jumping the lowest health mages? There are skills that take advantage of the targets health level, and there are skills that take advantage of the targets energy level, but for whatever reason, you cannot see that.

when in PvP people always go for me when I'm low on health, thus I have skills to make them slowdown or backoff.

With my energy level showing as well it people would attack mages even more knowing that would that said energy they cannot even defend themselves correctly.

seeing HP doesn't make them helpless, since they would still have a trick up their selve

I'm aware of what the topic is about, read my first reply near the top before you comment. Also I explained the reasons why showing target energy would be bad, don't make me repeat myself

Well, we posted at almost the same time. I can understand that, but it really wouldn't make a huge difference to me. If I see you with low health, im going to attack you wether you are on full energy, or running on empty.

You'd be in for a shock with I use spells to slow you down, the reflect damage, then heal myself, and then blast you with magic

But then again I have mates who cover me well during PvP if I'm low on health, which is why arenas suck.

Add my voice in here. I use spam blood ritual. If I could see the ehaler is full I know some of my favorite other players would love energy to spare.

I like the idea for running around with guildmates/henchmen...

Sadly I doubt it would make a difference to a large majority of players. I thought by the time I made it to the desert people would try to play smarter, but no matter how much I beg and plead the second an encounter is over they run as fast as they can to the next one.

I ctrl-click on my energy because I am tired of typing "pls stop I need to recharge" and all people do is ctrl-click on their hp's which is stupid because that information is already available or tell me to stop spamming.

I think this would be wonderfull the numbers of times i have had to ask others to wait instead of runing off to the next group of mobs is unreal the problem is warriors don't really need energy not like ele/mez/neco does.
