[[Energy hiding]] is a [[weapon swap]]ping tactic to lower your available [[energy]] pool to reduce the impact of [[energy denial]] by [[foe]]s or the cost of [[skill]]s that use up all available energy (e.g. [[Rebirth]], [[Purge Signet]], or [[Ether Lord]]).

== Low energy set ==

A low energy [[weapon set]] typically consists of a [[martial weapon]] [[inscription|inscribed]] with [["Brawn over Brains"]] and a zero or low-energy off-hand weapon. If you combine the martial weapon instead with a minimum energy [[focus item]] inscribed with [["Ignorance is Bliss"]], you can lower your base energy by 7 points.

=== Components ===

{| style="borders:none;"
|- valign="top"

{{Item_info
| Item Color = White
| Item Name = Martial weapon
| Text1 = Variable damage
| AltText2 = Requires [any]
| Text3 = Inscription: "Brawn over Brains"
| AltText4 = Damage +15% (Energy -5)
| AltText5 = Any prefix
| AltText6 = Any suffix
| Text7 = Net energy: -5
}}

{{Item_info
| Item Color = White
| Item Name = Focus item
| Text1 = Minimum energy
| AltText2 = Requires [unmet]
| Text3 = Inscription: "Ignorance is Bliss"
| AltText4 = Armor +5 (Energy -5)
| AltText5 = Any suffix
| Text7 = Net energy: -2
}}
| valign="middle" style="font-size:140%;" | or

{{Item_info
| Item Color = White
| Item Name = Shield
| Text1 = Armor +16
| AltText2 = Requires [any]
| Text3 = Inscription: any
| AltText6 = Any suffix
| Text7 = Net energy: 0
}}
|}

* The lowest energy combination is -7.
* Substituting a shield lowers energy by 5 points (instead of 7), but allows you to increase your armor substantially (Max shields with an unmet requirement still offer +8 [[Armor rating|AR]])

== Usage ==

* Equip the low-energy set when at risk of energy denial, or when about to use a skill that uses up all energy.
* Switch to an efficiency set when otherwise casting, which will increase your energy pool or a high-energy set if the additional energy is needed for the skill.
* You can also use the low-energy set to meet low-energy requirements of certain skills (e.g. [[Ether Signet]]).
