Why does Energy Overflow doesn't work anymore?

[ArkhanTheBlack]

I'm not sure what triggered it, but since I entered Feiton, my Soulfist can't use the Energy Overflow engraving anymore. I'm stuck with Robust Spirit for whatever reason. Meaning, I can only activate Hype 3 directly now, Hype 1 & 2 are gone. No clue why, but Energy Overflow engraving is equipped. It 'should' work.

Btw, is it possible to get the white Soulfist dress back, which was the default before this huge 'update'? I hate the new greenish rags I'm stuck with now.

if u have robust spirit engraving equipped, hype1 and hype2 are deactivated.
u can have both engravings equppied at the same time.
if you are new to the game and use the express engraving support, open the submenue and check if u accidently equipped both of them.
u dont robust spirit at all if u want to play EO.
if u use RS u can use EO passive tough like a lvl1 engraving, so your energy doesnt go on cooldown, and it doesnt negate RS effects. but its rather lazy and not good practive for endgame since i doubt any vet would accept that build if you apply to their lobby.

I don't have Robust Spirit equipped and I played through the whole campaign with Energy Overflow. It just doesn't make sense. It feels very much like a bug, since I had never problems with switching between the two.

Sounds like you have RS level 1+. You need to check your engravings and make sure RS is not at level 1...also EO needs to be at level 1 or higher I am assuming you are using blue or epic EO books but if you are using only greens then you will not have EO without gear on top of the books

Also TBH EO is not that great for early content.
EO requires 1500 Swiftness level 7 cooldown gems and the relic Dominion set
RS does way more damage and makes early content easier

As for the armor no
You can F4 and look at the Yoz armor there are some white armor there but nothing like the old T2 armor

Okay, I found the problem. I had gear equipped that gives bonus nodes to Robust Spirit and for some reason this also enforces the use of Robust Spirit. If I unequip the gear, it switches back to Energy Overflow.

Robust Spirit Hype 3 duration is very short and it takes forever to reload. I could well just play without Hype at all. Maybe it's worth it in end game with the right equipment or in a guardian raid where all damage is unleashed in a very short time. But in campaign I'm way better off with a lesser damage boost I'm having the whole time. And Hype 2 & 3 from Energy Overflow is pretty solid against tougher enemies. With RS I have... nothing 90% of the time.

That's very unfortunate. Wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional so that players are more inclined to buy skins. :-|

RS is a spec build, the more spec you have the more damage hype gives, the more your spirit bombs hits for and the quicker hyper takes to return

At 1800 spec your hype only takes like 11 secs to recover, at 1500 spec it takes 18 secs, at 1300 it takes 22 secs

RS will help you kill quest bosses / quest dungeons faster, but I guess it doesnt matter anymore seeing how you are just questing, its not like its back when you did abyssals and guardian raids at those levels

+1 to this, once you get to 1490 and can get a bracelet you should easily hit the 1750 spec mark, that is when robust takes off, very little downtime and if you play it well your downtime is usually when boss is doing mechs, or if you get halfway through a rotation and boss goes into mech you can just cancel and it will be ready for a full rotation in no time!

EO for leveling / questing will deffo be more enjoyable at the lower levels, although if you are going to do the tower robust is very storng at just one shotting all the big bosses :D

Also worth noting that EO is harder late game for doing raids etc, you get hard punished if you dont use your hype correctly, requires good knowledge of raid bosses etc, RS you are not as punished for messing up rotation / entering hype at a bad time...

also RS is super fun for spirit bombing and watching the big number when you crit :D
