How many devout essences you got?

[robusticus]

<DIV>Just curious... right now I have 496, but I deleted about 300 of em a few days ago because I ran out of inventory space.  I destroyed all but one stack on 3/16 when I got my gnome bag...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you routinely destroy them, stop and collect them for a month, see how many you get...</DIV>

I delete anything over 10, I rarely use the heal anyway <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<DIV>LOL..yeah my pally has more than you can shake a stick at.  The same problem goes for necromancers and their essences of Anguish.  I try not to keep more than a stack on me when I am playing my pally.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Do Paladins get more spells that use the Devout Essences later in the levels?</DIV>

Back before the change. It wouldn't take long to rack up a few hundred of them.</P>

Back when the recast was less, you could use them up faster.  Now... they are just inconvenient left-overs waiting for a slow patch day to be worth fixing.  I delete anything over one stack.

<P>The cast time is way too slow for it to be used as a red button.  I only use it to heal myself after I fall a long way.  :smileytongue:</P> <P>I destroy all but two - one per bag slot - and keep those in the back of my inventory before I go hunting so they can pile up out of the way of my "active" inventory.</P>

[SirRock]

I keep 50 total on me.  I delete all the extras.

<div><blockquote><hr>SirRocky6 wrote:<div></div>I keep 50 total on me.  I delete all the extras.<hr></blockquote>Same here, anything more than that one stack is overkill, rarely is there a time I cast that spell more than once in a fight. If I cast it twice, I am in a raid or I am doing someting wrong.</div>

[Dwergux]

I keep 2 stacks, but I don't know why <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Nurta]

I keep one stack and delete the rest <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I think its a carry over from my necro, who did keep 2 stacks of her essences, but that was because 2 different spells used them (rez and drawing of souls) so I actually burned thru them rather quickly if I didn't bother to restock.<div></div>

[EvilIguana9]

I keep a stack.  If the stack overflows into a second stack I delete the first one.  At the end of each day I delete all but maybe 5-10 of them in my single stack. <div></div>

[Silverpaws]

I keep 50, and delete the rest.<div></div>

[Jonaroth]

I emptied my bank of all items, and all I do is keep my essences in there now, I'm trying to see how many I can possibly collect right now I have <font size="5"><u><b>11,834 essences</b></u></font> <div></div>

[robusticus]

<P>heh, I used to have a guild bank full of em, but someone needed the space and got rid of em.</P> <P>The stupid thing is it is such a great idea and for whatever reason worked well at the lower levels but so does not work at all now.  Just trying to figure out why that is.</P>

[Wallzak]

<DIV>I clean my bags out once a week or so... and leave myself just one (cause really, it doesn't take much to get more).  What's really fun is when, in a flurry of making space, you delete them all, and go to use the heal and you can't <blush>.  </DIV>

I only carry 25. That way, I don't accidentally accrue more than 1 stack (and take up a valuable random loot spot) while out adventuring.I hate those stupid things.~Sir Hawke Holyblayde, Paragon of Truth<div></div>

[Vampy]

<DIV>50.</DIV>

[OrcSlayer96]

<DIV>usually less than 50 at all times, the worst thing i did was after mentoring down to level 24 for helping a friend i deleted the wrong stacks of essences.  I kept the penitent and deleted the devout, then wondered why my spell wasnt working in a group hate siphon position instead of tanking.  Ah, fun times had by all.</DIV>
