En-X, nerfed?

[Phraust]

Did they nerf En-Drain, En-Sleep, etc?

I never got a chance to use em, but back in the day, En-Drain was like Bloodweapon on Crack. Now it seems to kick in only 10% of the time and for minimal gains. There a way to boost effectiveness? Int maybe?

What En-Spells you guys seen be super effective/worth the damage?

Does "<Element> Attack Bonus" affect the Added effects on things like En-Water, En-Stone, etc?

[Not Kuno]

I've never seen endrain be 100%. Then again I never knew anyone who used it a whole lot so I don't know. Stuff like ensleep/endispel wont work on dark resistant mobs like dark eles, thats for sure.

I think something like ___ element bonus will work on enspells, but not the +25 kind.

i thought they always sucked? Endispell is only really usefull on a mob that attcks fast specific to take down tank pets, my chigeo has it only so it doesnt suicide on spikes. (super basic build, endispel+evasion out the wazoo)

[Phraust]

Naw Back in the day, En Spells Did a lot. I remember boxes and Chigoes raping things with En-Drain. Other wiki lables it as doign 100% damage at 50% of the time. In practice, it does 15 damage 10% of the time.

Going to re-spec for a Weaponskill build and see what happens.
Just hope Tenticle and Cross-Attack are Water Based not Neutral...

Innate: Auto Regain
Innate: Str +25
17 Water Attack Bonus.
23 Str Bonus.
40/70

Options:
12 Water Attack +15%.
30 Str+50
12 War Trait

What would you all suggest for my next path of trial & error?
Might just go Squid Hunting until I get somethign with interesting Innates again.

Seems like Innates have a pattern: 1 Levelable skill, and 1 Flat bonus.
Has anyone gotten anything like Regain + Double Attack bonus? I know the Squids get Water Attack Bonus, I pray one day to get one with that + Regain...

[Phraust]

you can in fact have 2 levelable innates.

I just got the über-squid: Innate Regain and Attack Bonus.
