I haven't played for a long time due to omega but it seems to me that energy draining skills are Unfair when compared
Atom smasher: Needs 6 energy at level 1 and can be blocked. 2 turn cooldown.
Assimilation: Doesn't need energy. At lvl 1 regains 1 MP and takes away 3 energy. Does strike damage. Blockable.

Emp: At lvl 1. It CAN'T be blocked and has 2 turn CD. Deals around 25 MP damage
Atom smasher at lvl 1 level deals about 25 Mp damage if isnt blocked.
Assimilation At lvl 1 Takes away 3 mana and adds 1 to your energy pool. Also strikes if ISNT blocked.

How useful are they MY OPINION.
Emp is very useful because it runs a build and hits with 100% chance. Has only 2 turns CD.
Very useful on Cyber hunters not as useful in Bonty hunters but still pretty useful

Atom smasher a good skill ruins a build without needing a lot of Mp and has around 88% chance to hit.
Very useful in tac mercs because they are tanks with high Mp regain and takes away very high % of Mp using a low energy.
Not so useful in mercs because they dont have Mp regain but OK skill.

Assimilation not a useful skill altho it takes away 3mp and adds to your pool 1 mp (at lvl 1) so does strikes isnt useful.
Why? It doesnt take allmoust any energy and most of the classes have a way of regaining energy. (except merc)
It does strike but since str nerf also there arent ANY good tech mage str builds. (due to skilltree)
It adds 1 energy to your mana pool ONLY IF ENEMY HAS ENERGY. And 1 energy is nothing if someone uses Emp/Atom smasher
It has the HIGHEST CD (3) witch makes the skill practically useless.
This is just MY OPINION and please i want to know your thoughts on energy drainers also no hate.

TBH
Energy draining skills is one of the tide changing skills in the game. Emp is good for draining stat abusers energy like massacre builds(I really hate those brainless builds) same with atom smasher but about assimilation is good for energy in case of emergency combined with certain skills. I don't see any problem with energy draining skills unless you are an abuser. High assimilation with a max reroute can be a good combo especially if you need energy asap since it can damages health as well.

@midnight assassin
i started this post because i was being beat by those brainless spamers. I am a tech mage and when i am fighiting CH with azreal weapons and there isn't any luck involved i cant win because they get 100hp max massacare max plasma armor and rest on malf. They start and malf me... I use technican... (he did damage i didnt do any damage) then he uses statistic charge and regains some mana i use assimilate and he still can massacare me. And its over gun massacare. It gets annoying after a while.

Oh I see. Try energy draining cores as well. I know what you feel as a tm but since I'm a bh I have no problems dispatching those brainless persons. Use your gun as your advantage if you know what I mean.

 The STR nerf was a bonus to mages running with Assim. As you pointed out most classes can regain energy and running high strength with low drain negates the drain in most cases.

Also up until this update or last update(I didn't play all last week) assim rounded up with the energy drain so the 3 en drain would return 2 energy. Seeing that there was nothing in the DN's about it I do not know how to call this change


Finally you forgot to the warm up on Assimilation. Assimilation cannot be used with full energy making it the only energy draining skill that cannot be used on the first round in most fights and possibly rounds following depending on how you play

Assimilation doesn't give you too much energy back is because Tech Mages is the only class that has it, which is as well one of the classes that has the BEST energy regen ability.

EMP/Atom Smasher brings out the rudeness and nastiness in players, the have the Azrael weapons with max berzerker, max massacre, max double strike, max Artillery strike, knowing that you skills and weapons do any damage they not only throw one EMP or Atom Smash you but they throw two they were already going to win the match but they do it anyway so they can have a punching bag, just like a bully having his friends tie you up to beat you to death.

EMP/Atom Smasher was a problem since Gamma that why even as a tech mage with reroute I carried around boosters but now we still have now boosters and those two skills more so EMP is an even bigger problem that four classes have it now but even worse two have energy regain.

The defense and resistance stats and skills are that effective anymore.

You have to invest too many points in dex and tech not only to have good damage from the skills because weapons deflect too much but it makes you weak weapons wise.

Then if you decide you want to have power from weapons not using any energy then you are basically a punching bag.

Another thing about these EMP/Atom Smasher bullies is they have Infernal Android even if you have 50 health not even at round 5 they get 50 damage.

They need to readjust the dex and tech stats, overhaul the skills, stop saying they going to give the new classes new skills and just do it already, and just get rid of EMP/Atom Smasher if they will not do anything about those bully oriented skills.
