I am struggling to get Focus up enough to use Focus based abilities.
I’m wearing a Superior Belt of Focus (30% gain) and attacking, attacking, attacking......
So, 2, maybe dumb, questions.
1. Does the choice of Detonator matter? I’m a Knight Enchanter (soooooo wish I’d gone Rift or Necro as I didn’t realise I’d have to get up close and personal to use Spirit Blade - but too late now) and I use Winters Grasp as the Disabler and Mind Blast as the detonator.
2. Why the hell does my Focus vanish at the end of a fight? I thought it was stayed until used.

1. You should be good with Winter's Grasp + Mindblast. Do you have a point in Focused Teamwork? That passive helps with Focus generation. 2. Do you have the Trial " Rest Easy" enabled? Rest Easy makes you lose all Focus when you fast travel or rest at a camp. Hope that helps.  |

Thanks Gilli
I've now put a point in Focused Teamwork - so hoping that will help.
I don’t have any of the Trials enabled – the disclaimer Trials may cause Enemies or Followers to behave unpredictably made me nervous to try it, tempted though I am by the promise of better rewards.

You're welcome Don't worry about that too much, imo it's mostly related to "Walk Softy" which promotes enemies and gives them some new abilities. Can get annoying if a barrier gets promoted, but otherwise it's mostly fine.  Personally, I have "Even Ground" (enemies scale to your level) and "Take It Slow" (half EXP) always enabled, because it makes the fights less easy. |

2. Why the hell does my Focus vanish at the end of a fight? It shouldn't. If you are sure you don't have Rest Easy enabled, either you have a major bug in your game, or you died during the fight. If you die, you lose all your focus, if you aren't immediately resurrected by the various means of doing so. |

After a re-spec I now generate focus a lot faster - so I think I wasn't doing enough damage  Also, the Focus doesn't vanish at the end of a fight anymore - no isea what that was all about but it's gone so I'm happy. |
