No, I didn't get the wrong idea at all. I know that they all do other things, but you could probably have better uses for at least some of those extra skill slots. If your hero never drops below 40 energy, you are probably using too much e-mgmt.

What are your stats? Is inspiration at 3? If so, P-drain and leech aren't giving you "great" energy, they are just interrupts (which is still ok). Gaze obviously is a good choice because of the energy from burning. Fire Attune also seems right, but what happens if you leave it out? Does the hero still have enough energy (you may have to raise the Insp stat, especially if it is at 3)? If so, you can probably switch it out for another low-cost interrupt. If you drop GoLE, does the build still work? Maybe try a Mantra of (element) depending on where you are, or Sig of Humility, or Glyph of Elemental Power.

My whole point is that the build my be more efficient (since it is obviously effective at damage dealing) by swapping out one or two e-mgmt skills and the Aura of Resto for something with more utility (since damage is covered well enough already).

Meh, invoke lightning pwns much more then SF. I run 3 invokers (Me, sosuke, zhed) with air skills that trigger extra damage off water hexes, and use norgu as a fast cast water elly.

Henchies are usually two monks, sogolon and herta, and it just canes everything.

When using SF, I normally run two SF ellys max, a They're on fire para and one or 2 baragers with fire bows to trigger mark of rodgort. <--- thats better then all SF ellys too. In this sense, I actually use SF as a defensive skill rather then offense, and concentrate on keeping everything on fire rather then killing.

I use this. It works better than any other build I've tried and he doesn't even need energy management. >_> Only when I force him to use Meteor Shower.

[skill]Searing Flames[/skill][skill]Glowing Gaze[/skill][skill]Liquid Flame[/skill][skill]Searing Heat[/skill][skill]Meteor Shower[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Fire Attunement[/skill][skill]Resurrection Signet[/skill]

Just disable meteor shower on him and use it manually. o.O I usually run two of these.
