Needing EG is just a warning sign of you not knowing how to manage your resources properly.

As a magica Templar, I weave in light attacks to proc a poison now and then, and then go back to the abilities that do more damage per second than those c160 purple weapons with purple unresist damage glyphs. Those abilities cost.

Furthermore, it's usually a good idea to try to always be doing something in a combat. Grabbing an add off the healer - costs resources, doing some healing or buffing from my back bar - costs resources, throwing a debuff - costs resources.

What you call 'managing resources' sounds to me like intentionally slowing down your participation so your bars have a lot of blue/green.

Managing resources is being able to consistently participate in the fight without having to rely on RNG for you to continue to do so.

This means that you never run out of resources when you might need them in a fight (e.g. having to block something). This can be done by use of potions, gear and the skills of other group members (chards, necrotic orb, etc.). It is also achieved by choice of skills (maybe picking one that does a little less but costs a lot less) and strategy (i.e. not taunting an enemy going on someone because you already have 4 hitting you and your ally is probably getting just as much healing as you).

Leave you with this

Play how you want.
