So, if you put three points in it would you still get the 75% more energy for any +2 equipment you use?
Yes, I’m fairly certain. I’ve asked this in the Discord before. It really needs clearer language. Adding “also” somewhere in tier 2 and 3 would clear it right up. “This talent also gives yada yada for tier yada yada.”
Even then it would still be slightly confusing because a really logically minded person might think +1, +2 and +3 apply simultaneously to tier 1 gear because it objectively qualifies for all three levels of the talent. If all three levels are active at the same time, then it’s a logical conclusion. So it would need an additional note at the end that each piece of gear only benefits from the highest level of the talent it falls under.
It’s hard to word it precisely without being a giant wall of text. Maybe it needs to be a wall of text. This gets asked so often.
Yes. If you have level 3, the benefits of levels 1 & 2 also apply.
I have no idea. Never used unencumbered spirit because it seems stupid and too big of a tradeoff for just some energy.
It’s actually really, really good. If you play Duelist and find an early Round Shield and get a good wand from the Old Wandmaker, playing a ranged shield Monk is tons of fun! You get so much energy back from kills by wearing tier 1 gear. And you never get hit because you’re ranged, so you don’t need armor, and you can also kick everything in the face for megadamage if they get close. Dragon Kicks become like 1 energy, and even free sometimes (due to rounding, I think.)[1]. The shield is for facing ranged enemies that surprise you. Or for just walking around melee enemies.
Except if you kick from full energy because the energy you spend for the kick is taken after the bonus energy is returned, so you pay full price for a kick from full energy. This seems like a bug to me, but I haven’t testng it in a long time, and I haven’t bothered reporting it. ↩︎
