Focus

Focus is a utility skill which allows the player to regenerate their EP faster while channeled.

While channeling Focus, movement speed is limited to your current charge movement speed. It can be improved with the Multitasking talent, and items such as Rollerblades and Sailor Hat.

Stats

Focus

Charge Time: None
EP Cost: None

Base Charge

Enter a meditative stance, which greatly increases EP regen while slowing you down. While using focus, your EP will regen 70 % faster, plus 10 % per additional level in this skill. This bonus scales with existing EP Regen from other sources.

If you hold the button for 2 seconds, you'll become Focused. While Focused, the first spell you cast will cost 50 % less EP.

The bonus EP Regen of this skill is increased by 100 % if the user is already Focused.

Mechanics

While channeling Focus, the player regenerates an additional 60% + 10% * Skill Level EP. This bonus is doubled while under the effects of the Focused buff, for a toal of 120% + 20% * Skill Level additional EP gained. The extra regeneration stacks multiplicatively with the character's EP Regen stat.

Focused buff

Channeling Focus for 2 seconds grants the Focused buff, which doubles Focus's effect. In addition, the next skill cast will cost 50% less EP.

The buff is only consumed for skills that cost EP.

Interactions

While the Focused buff is consumed for skills that block a portion of your Max Energy, the 50% cost reduction is not applied.

Focus is still able to regenerate EP while under the effects of Berserk and the +250 Max EP but no EP regen pin. Without the natural regeneration, it will take a long channel time to restore all of your EP.

Tips

• Focus is useful in all builds, as it can be used to reduce downtime caused by low EP. In addition to that, it only costs 3 Silver Points to max out, which are plentiful in late game
• The buff granted by Focus isn't consumed if a skill doesn't consume any EP
  • This means that you can use Level 3 Blink's first cast without losing the Focused buff
  • Casting Focus again won't remove the buff. You can channel Focus to get the buff, interrupt it, then resume channeling at double EP regeneration
• With charge movement speed boosts from items and talents, it is possible to channel Focus while moving around levels at a decent pace
