Adrenalin Boost, I took it anyway...

I have to say, I like it... useful when grouping with Blasters who have TB/Inferno and drop a group of villains in 1 hit, lose all of their endurance, click a Discipline Insp, or if grouped with another Defender, have them put clear mind on you, then hit that Blaster with AB, and in a few seconds, they are full end again... much faster regen than RA, lasts about the same as RA, single target, however...

Yes, I keep RA up, almost 100% of the time, with Hasten, etc, but this does have a use... if minimal...

And, I figured what the heck, when Re-Spec patch is implemented, I figured I can always respec it, if something better came along...

If they already have RA up, and cast that end draining mega nuke, Doesn't RA alone already give them enough Endurance to start blasting again immediately?

[Xelbaaz]

Well, not always... RA will slowly regen their end, enough to nuke, wait, nuke wait...

Even with Hasten fully slotted, and RA fully slotted (both with recharge reducs) I still cannot keep RA up 100%, near 100%, with a gap of a 1.5 minutes or something like that, haven't actually timed it, but it seems to be a long time sometimes... from battle to 1/2 way into next battle it repops...

Sometimes not all the group members are together for RA, as well... and I'm not the type to constantly hit a macro "Gather for RA" during battles, I will quickly asses where RA would be placed best to get the bang for the buck, but these are split second decisions, and usually the tank is missed, and maybe a blaster or two... but I do nothing but TF's usually..., so battles and # of villains are based on 7 person groups for bricks tf, soon to be FF, where I assume 8 person groups are required.

But, I do like AB, if it is simply for a niche power... I am using it.. if someone is really low or out, and out of RA range, or I am between RA cycles, it does come in handy, but could I live without it? Yes.

But, I would respec one of the Leadership powers before AB... maybe I'm way off, but it has it's use.

I can burn through RA like it's nothing. Even buffing a team of 5 can make my net endurance drop, but when I buff the team, AE debuff the mobs, ST debuff the bosses, AND nuke to debuff accuracy, my end is shot while everyone else's effeciency is through the roof. I shudder every time Transference misses. RA is pretty much necessary for me. And fort...I like fort. Emp defenders I group with these days just get close to me and cast RA whenever it's up, screw the rest of the group. =-)

So far, I am yet to burn through my end when Adrenaline Boost is on me, but I'm trying...
