That's a cute point of view. I have a speed set I switch to, so I feel it's a waste. I don't use any rogue utilities. I put all those points into masteries and if I had to use one it would be Ultimate Aimed Shot for boss damage. If rogue's had Energizer I would use it because it turns my character into a lawnmower when a mage use it.

It has its place on support mages but for full offense ones I prefer meteor for the quick heavy damage. I use fire, ice, lightning and wind so I’m already rapid firing my spells. That 6 seconds doesn’t really help me compared to dropping the meteor on a boss.
That’s just my opinion. I was never a support mage tho. I’ve been using 4 attack spells since 31 was the cap lol.
LOL. I am Darwin's daddy, I taught him everything he knows.
But on a serious note, builds and skill use is different for all players. The way I play, energize is just another support skill, probably chronically used by healers. Meteor gets me through maps like fester and Morgana much better. I have never ran a map and was like, "OMG, it's the ENERGIZE skill, we are in business". I like refuel better because when it's activated, I spam my 4 attack skills and destroy stuff. That's my play style.
I don't PVP, so I do not know whether or not mages or warrior ultimates are usable there. I was just assuming that energize would probably be best in PVP because in PVE, it is not really useful for me. I'd personally prefer refuel/meteor in PVE. That's just my play style.
Ultimates are not available in PVP sir. Are you aware that Energize ultimate works for the whole party? When you have a full party spamming skills in a boss they die pretty damn fast, and in addition, you can sync up with a warrior and use Energize/Rage ultimates at the same time; you'll be saying then: "OMG, it's the ENERGIZE skill, we are in business"

Yeah. I getcha.
My play style setup/build needs no energize. Everybody is different, I have never had a mage use energize and it made a difference. My build is geared towards total attacks and insane critical. Everybody is different. I'd just prefer something other than support and energize.
But, everyone is different.
I ran a map with a warrior the other day (Fester), and his damage was so excellent that energize would have been useless.
It's so funny to me this is even really a convo... Like saying I would rather be the minute man instead of the dude who goes all night. Really? Which one is better. Crazy

we can prove with numbers that meteor can’t do as much damage as a party who are able to spam all skills, so I wouldn’t call energize a support skill. It does more damage and the effects that your party have from their skills, such as armor reduce, stuns etc are piled on mobs. Meteor has no other effect other than damage.
So far the only arguments against seem to be;
1- speed of effect (1 sec for max 255k dam vs the total damage output of a pt taking 10 sec). I’m not sure where this is generally better.
Or 2: it drains mana. Uh ok, but if you’re a mage and run out of mana I see what the problem really is.
Also the sentence- I ran with a war and his damage was so good energize would have been useless is completely illogical.
If he had great damage, then it would have been better to do more damage faster, period.

Each class ultimate has offense, defense and support
Mage offense is meteor, defense is shield and support is energize
War offense is rage, defense is immortal and support is reflect
Rogue offense is aim shot, defense is (I forgot) and support is fuel.
All ultimate is good and every ultimate has its own role to fit your playstyle.

This is exactly what I’m countering. If energize does more damage and piles on more debuffs from skills, it is a better OFFENCE skill than meteor.
I’ll still agree to that I’m not telling u how to play, just saying a str mage w meteor, heal, and a hex/ds staff is gonna get left in the dust when forming a pt.
