User:Heltende/Guide to Energy Absorption

Introduction to Energy Absorption

EA is one of the best powers in the game, with three distinct extremely useful effects (Enemy Endurance Drain, Self Endurance Recovery, and Self Defense Buff). It is also one of the most complicated powers in the game to slot. If we could use more than 6 slots in a power, I can easily see myself 12 slotting it. This will be a guide to how to slot and use this power to get the most out of it.

Who is this guide is for

This guide is geared towards a level 50 respec, and it doesn't take very much into consideration the price of Enhancements. If you're not already rich, the ideal slotting for this power may take some time to achieve. It's also primarily for the min/maxer. If you want the idiots guide to slotting EA, I'd probably recommend 2 recharge, 2 Defense and 2 End Mod, either SOs or common IOs. It won't maximize the power, but it's certainly a good place to start. It will also be the base effectiveness by which we'll judge slotting alternatives.
