Is using energystones buged?

Hi everyone!
I was hunting some multiple mobs with half HP and tried to use my AoE attacks that are supposed to use the energystones automaticle.
You know the new update for Gladiator skills...
But half the time it said; "cant be use becuse of certain issues" or something like that; you know wich one i mean.
Alsmot died 2 times becuse it wouldent work properly.
A note:
The skills are recharged and i have energystones so i am doing nothing wrong. skill names are sonicbuster and sonicstorm.
Anyone know if there is a bug or is there a secret rule for the skills?

You do need to have a certain charge status to use the skills, I believe, but I'm sure you paid attention to that... o.o

When there is lag, half of my BSS dont work on my HE...its not only the energy stones, it has something to do with your commands being transmitted to the server and back.

hmm actually no i dident... well thanks for the replys.
guess i will trie that... :) :D :)

I think Maline is right, when I use charge stones to do an AOE attack on my Tyrant it only works if I have already charged up at least 1 time.

For example use Sonic Focus once, then use your AOE attack and it will consume 2 energy stones.

I play a gladiator lvl62, and it is correct that Sonic Storm and Sonic Buster needs at least 2 sonic forces recharged, even though it doesent use it.
So one of the common problems I have with this, is that I need to pay attention to my sonic charge status. Several times I have initiated attack and the afterwords noticed that I forgot to recharge the sonic focus. The Sonic focus recharged do run out in about 20 minutes or so, so its vital to keep an eye on it at all time.

I don't know if this is a bug, or if its just the skill descriptions that need to be updated.

I always keep my charges at max, even though it only takes a 2 or 3 to do skills...they do more damage at max charges. Try a blaster at 2 charges and one at 7. But it should really specify in the skills description imo.

Yes, I also noted that, I always thought thatit dident matter if I used 2 or 5 charges, even though it doesent consume the charges.
But It looks like it actually deal more damage when using 5 charge, then using 2 charges.

I think I will try to write down some damage done by 2 charges and then by using 5 charges.

Diego Vargas has posted some interesting glad numbers in the C5 forum on l2guru.

Edited: I will burn in hell for always spelling peoples' names wrong.

Or at least be PKed.

It's about 10 minutes, I believe, same as the Find Weakness skills.

yeah, and what sucks is that if your at 5 charges, and a few mins later charge to max, the timer doesnt reset...it can still fade a second later....always at the worst times imo :(

Agreed.
