the "problem" of EEs is that they're mostly suited for PvP due to resist shock, wich is not really a problem, it's just that majority of people are dumb, or they just prefer classes with better PvE buffs( basicly VR for melees or Empower for mages ). as for buffs, recharge and heals, a SE will probably always have priority in PvE compared to EE. even prophets have more offensive stuff, considering berserk and haste. any clan that is focused on PvP and wants to be really competitive will probably need EEs soon or later. however, since in classic there's no mana or hp regen potions dropped by mobs, any low lv mage/fighter will probably be looking for rechargers after hitting lv20, since the self hp/mp regen is slow as a sloth on sand. classic isn't a game for solo players anyway. you just need to find a clan with people that aren't too spoiled to actually help you.
