I'd say it's harder for a dps mage to keep up energy, without dps loss

Is a dps mage more energy or a dps druid?

Neither. Worst is the Monster truck.

Pretty good joke for such an old guy

In my case I've played a 220 Mage (was at cousins and he let me cast a few skills) and my main is a 211 Druid. I find less energy problems with the Druid. My cousin has about 15k energy? (I think) and I have somewhere near 20-22k. Enough to stay through a Osan fight, so I would say the Mage uses more energy as my cousin has to pop an energy Lix all the time.

I'll say Druid but I'm not experienced in it.
I could solo as a Druid with vines, swarm, strike, and roots with extra points in touch, having roots being able to root enemies 10lvs above me. Leveling in fingals with a energy lix I quickly run out of energy after 2-4 kills

Druid has an higher energy consumption in general.

It comes down to skill cooldown though. I don't know about druids, but at least I can tell my experience as a mage. With a 20% firebolt redcution item I dont have items mid-fight to use sigils, or I have to interrupt my spell casts intentionally and stay back for a few seconds.
This is why it requires a mage (I think) to be on an energy lix all the time.

I think druids have a brief moment in their skill loop to sigil. Correct me if I am wrong.

^^ Depends on role at fight and how many druids there are and which boss it is. Sometimes I have plenty of time to let sigils kick in and sometimes it's skill spamming so energy lix is a must.

I've tried going through an osan fight without letting my sigils tick, while using e lix. At 12k ish energy the regen doesn't come close to covering my e consumption and I have to sigil several times (4165 e per tick). 246 energy from firebolt, 619 from firestorm, 490 from shards, 348 from attune, and 246 from lure.

I haven't bothered calculating, but I'd imagine I use about 20-25k energy per 3 minute period. It was much easier to keep my dps druid's energy up because there was sufficient time inbetween casts to sigil

Don't have any energy problems with 3k sigs, 1k+ sigs should just about do it for anyone else.

So basically you're playing a caster class for better and faster gear but more money spent.

I don't stop and wait for sigils and I cast and recast eshield a fair amount during a fight and never run out of energy on a hero lix. Not spamming pots either.

Been leveling a Druid recently and have had pretty constant energy problems for a long time. Swarm is horrible for this. Full heals seems a ton better on energy than dps with swarm, even factoring in breath.
