I'm running a level 13 R/E, and my energy seem sstuck at 25. Is there any way to increase my base value, or is equipment my only hope of adding a few points?

The only class that can increase base energy is an elementalist primary through energy storage. Equipment is the only way to go.

Equipment is the only hope as a Ranger. But expertise is a fantastic Primary attribute. You can use a druids set, and a +5 energy bow to actually increase your energy pool....but what are you trying to do with it?

Use druids armor, pack an energy management skills, or, most simply, increase your expertise.

expertise only reduces the costs of ranger skills only tho which is mildy dissapointin

Expertise is not profession based. Spells, hexes and enchantments are not concerned. The rest does (various attacks and skills only listed as "skills"... like Blackout for example).

Yup thats how it works, Healing breeze still costs 10 no matter expertises is on a R/Mo, though when trapping or farming ettin I run around with 51 energy with my lvl 20 R/E

Equipment and glyphs. Use lesser energy for those big casts, and avoid exhaustion if possible. Get a +15 staff or +5 wand with a 12 or higher off hand. My question is, what the hell are you trying to cast that you need so much energy for? Rangers are not meant to be nukers and such.

He's level 13. Probably just struggling with 10e skills from his Ranger profession, because of little to no Expertise.

ChaoticCoyote: go with full Druid's Armor (32 mana, a must) and 9, 12 or 13 in Expertise. You will be able to once you're level 20 with both quests done for skill points. Just know that every level in Expertise makes your skills 4% less energy-consuming. You can find information about it in Guildwiki for example.

Have fun.

Expertise reduce eng cost on ALL ATTACK skills, doesn't limite to ranger skills.

"Expertise reduces the energy costs of all non-spell skills from any profession at a rate of 4% per point. Attacks, Glyphs, Nature Rituals, Preparations, Stances, Shouts and Traps are affected. This also affects Necromancer touch skills and Ritualist Binding Rituals."

get 1 of those +5 energy weapons in cantha. from a weapon crafter
and use druids armorr
and use hight expertise

ChaoticCoyote · May 18, 2006, 11:20 PM // 23:20

I was distracted...

I am now an R/E 17, and I use some elementalist spells that cost 25 to cast. These are *support* spells for special situations, not my main offense. I have managed to get things working fairly well with a Druid's set and a good expertise to keep the cost of my Ranger spells down.

RUNES! I use runes and now my energy is pretty high.

Exactly what runes do you use to alter your energy? Isn't the energy storage rune the only one that effects total energy? That is an elementalist rune.
