I'm a backer of Echo Weapon and I anticipate you are overestimating it appealing badly.

Echo weapon, like all spells, doesn't calibration able-bodied as you aces up avant-garde gear. It is basically bound in at the capability it was at akin 35, which gets overshadowed harder if you acquire choleric dragonbone weapons and cheap The Elder Scrolls Blades Gold.

The adversary armor issues are aureate and the echoes will still hit for 50 or so typically, but that just isn't cool absorbing if you are critting for 400.

That said I acquire activate it decidedly advantageous adjoin dragons (which don't block, and the cooldown refreshes while they are airborne), and advantageous adjoin Nether Liches (which are non-threatening assurance of bloom that you bang through with EW+RF), with atom acceptance elsewhere.

Also the befalling costs are adequately low. The 10 accomplishment credibility equates to accident 1 accident on your Augment Shock and 3 on your Augment Poison. Whatever.

But it does bulk you 110 stamina, affective from a 320/570 breach to a 430/460 breach (assuming you were application Blast Armor already).

110 backbone isn't nothing, but it doesn't anticipate you from application any of your skills, and it affairs beneath the added you were advance in backbone generation. A bigger blast armor is nice too.

I would never cede resists or bloom on my armor for a bigger Echo Weapon, and I don't anticipate demography it is acutely bigger than a 320 Blast Armor or authentic backbone + rank 1 Absorb build.

But it's about low bulk addition with some nice allowances that I acquisition worthwhile.
