Does the energy of the current version not matter?
For example, how much damage can 1000 Energy bring?

It matters but not as much has before.

I'm panicking, I just deleted my main character! Please tell me it can be rolled back...

The formula for energy to spell damage is shown here https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/concepts/spellfocus
Just take the first part (before the + sign)

Okay. I know for a fact that I'm going to be playing a bowazon. However, I'm also going to be playing every other class, which I've never done in my (very) limited time with Median, years ago. Anybody got advice for a rank newb for very early game gear, builds, etc.? I'm talking early Normal difficulty, as everything I've seen on the forums so far seems geared towards much later in the game.

Earliest game equipment and the like. One of the most important early game newb thing to do is saving Cain - You'll get body armour from Akara which is usually good enough for entire normal difficulty.

a desirable item? I saw a few recommendation for spell builds mainly.

Besides the big SF, it's lacking pierce & +sk. Doesn't seem that great to me, not sure what I am missing.

Well its got Spellfocus, cast speed, spell damage %, while having great defensive properties and only a 428 str requirement (making it very attainable with charms alone and some aa% or str% on other pieces). When you equip it you go from 428 str to well over 530 str, meaning other end game pieces become attainable with little or no additional str investment. The +100 energy is a nice added bonus too!

Should have quoted you in my previous post about why I think its a good caster armor, so I quoted you here instead.

How does Amazon's defensive harmony and slow attackers work?

Between maxing that or blood elementals on a Bow Zon for survivability, which would be better?
