I don't understand at all why people spend so much on this Arcane... 1 single Team Energy pad does a better job, without RNG AND doesn't rely on random drops.... one single pulse, can be garaunteed at ANY time, and will restore 100 right there.

The chances of this outperforming Pads is wholly reliant on the number of energy drops on the floor, and if RNG wants to be your friend. You'd have to get 5 procs from this thing in 30 seconds to be better. Meaning you'd need a minimum of 5 orbs sitting there waiting for you - and then the proc has to decide to go through.

Opening the gear wheel is 2 seconds. 1500-2000 plat cheaper. No RNG. Less reliant on any external circumstances. Cheap to maintain.

I am only looking at this in the context of 1 set of this Arcane, but even if you had 2... then my argument would be that 2 pads back to back is always better.

I think the only REAL advantage this thing can offer is that it benefits channeled abilities whereas pads are shut out by them. But in most cases? Pointless Arcane.
