Can Someone Explain this

[Konnollen]

so can someone explain why my Excalibur's exalted blade says it is draining, 2.5 energy per second with this set up?

You have too little Duration and/or Efficiency. In this case Duration. Since you have both Efficiency mods on.

Exalted Blade is a channeled ability which means it uses both efficiency and duration to calculate the per second drain.

I would not recommend Blind Rage for Excalibur EB build. A large portion of his damage output comes from Blinding enemies so you want your Blind to be on the cheap side so you can use it often.

Summary: The energy cost of channeled skills depend of the efficiency and duration

[SillyCowsy]

I'd suggest taking out your Blind Rage in favor for Energy Conversion and then putting redirection where Vigor is so that you gain more capacity.

Energy Conversion will give you +50% powerstrength on your next ability cast when you collect an energy orb. This is extremely useful for toggle powers since the +50% powerstrength lasts for the full duration that you channel the ability.

Off topic, I use Excalibur with the Quick Thinking + Rage + Primed Flow + Life Strike (melee) combo. This said combo is basically a "Perpetuum Vitae" for a cycle of health and energy regen. Turns Excalibur (or any other frame) into a very tough tank.

Thanks the energy conversion thing sounds cool thanks have to try to get that mod.

live by blind's 300% melee damage increase on finishers + your melee combo boost/ multiplier + stealth boost which will make your melee weapon op more so when playing alongside a buffer frame. duration and range is Excalibur's best setup.
