Energy From Within
" Melding converts 40%? 25% is already ES it only converts 15%. By that logic the best position is in the duelist area where it can convert up to 38% life to es The second best in the witch area where it can convert up to 36% life to es Third, scion's area where it can convert up to 31% life to es (i havent checked this but if constitution is included in the jewel's radious then this position can grant up to a whooping 45% conversion making it the best option). In the fourth position comes the socket above RT with a possible conversion up to 30% Fifth is the marauder's area where it can convert up to 28% life to es Now if you factor in your initial path, point investment and if you would actually travel or choose some areas things change a lot. The only truth is that EFW in melding is as good as socketing it below quick recovery (1% difference) and one could legitimately argue that quick recovery is better cause it needs 3 points when melding needs 4 and then another could counterargue that you would no matter what invested in melding even without the jewel making the cost 0 and thats why melding is commonly (right or wrong is up to each one) considered the best option.

I bought one for Melding cluster but i'm not sure if it's actually worth 2ex now that i think about it. It only gives 13% extra ES over a rare jewel, but you can also get 2-3 extra affixes on a rare jewel, and likely pay less than 2ex for it.

Yeah, that about sums up the problem with Energy From Within as it stands now - it's a pretty good Jewel, but not for something ridiculous like 50c, let alone multiple Exalts. It's basically drop-only if you ask me.

" I'm referring to the Combined ES total you'd be getting from the aforementioned Clusters when added together with the ES already granted. Of course you'll only be really getting actually 15% more ES from Melding. It's previous average price was more realistic with what you got from it though. 5-10c was what you'd expect for what it did on builds that demanded ES. The stealth nerf to its drop rate just made it harder to maintain. Just another Forum Signature in a Sea of Signatures.

" Say that to a lot rf guard, that wants nothing more than as much efficient es as he can get. Granted I have pretty fucking GG gear, still 400-500 es from quick recovery is pretty nice even for 2 ex. Other than maybe my gloves there's not much I can upgrade "easily" at 2 ex. Happy so called sheep right now. XBOX-----------------

" Aren't jewel sockets the most efficient spent points if you have good jewels? From my experience it is usually worth it to drop 2 points from generic nodes and get a jewel which gives same states + some other bonuses. It does cost, yes, but seems to me that it is a end-game option of upgrading my char. :V Oh, and I found Energy from Within. I have a CI trapper, but I sold it... 2,5ex, lol.
