Ok... let me say this. When it comes to pro builds, farming, armor, runes, and anything about the game besides the missions, i'm a noob. On my monk, i have a Kepkhet's Refuge (farmed myself one first day. i love it). because i'm a straight-up prot monk. I recently began to buy myself ascetic's armor, but i noticed some discrepencies in the way the energy bonuses & regens stacked. i figured out the regen part (thought that everyone started with 3, not 2. never payed attention) but for the energy bonus, i get 50 instead of 30, which is very odd, because refuge itself gives +15, and then i have at least +10 on my armor. which means i should have at least 55, not 50. is there some odd formula a-net uses to nerf the 'nergy stack that I don't know about?

Strip all your armor off first. Then look at your base energy again. It will add up.

ah... so only 1 of the energy bonuses from the staff add up? because if both of them do, then i'm supposed to be alloted 63 instead of 53

you start off with 20 energy, without armor, then add your armor and you should have +17 more energy with FULL ascetics..that makes it 37enrgy..without weapon..then add another 15 with that weapon= 52 total energy max. Unless you use a +27 energy -1 regen off hand..and a +5 energy HoD sword it would then total about 69energy.

how is that possible if i start out with 30, have a +15 that only adds +5, and has 53 to end up with when i have full ascetics on?

Oldydog told you. You have 20 BASE ENERGY W/o any armor on. You gain +17 energy from wearing full ascetics, making it so that you have 37 energy in total with all your armor on. Then you get +15 from your staff, and if you can add, that is about 52.

Oh and on the regen part, elementalists, monks, mesmers, and necromancers start off with 4 REGEN of energy. Rangers have 3 regen, and warriors 2. So unless you were using a +15 energy, -1 regen item, you should have 4 regen of energy, not 3.

Technically all characters have 2 regen. Casters gain energy regeneration from their feet and leg armor, and rangers get it from their leg armor.

yep. what wheel said. and how come when i took off all of my armor it claimed i had 30 energy then? nobody seems to get that this is what happens and i'm not just asking stupid noobish questions for no reason.

excuse my while i beat myself. knives was right. when i switched off the refuge i went to a wep that had +10 energy by accident, makin me think it was 30. >.<
