You will need to pop a blue first, but yes, you can refill your end with Stygian. Stygian Circle isn't increasing your recovery, it is just giving you a chunk of endurance and health.

Yes, you can use Stygian Circle to refill your end bar, but you may need to pop one blue to have enough endurance to use the power. A performance shifter or panacea proc will usually kick in before the 20 seconds is up if you use either of those.

Cool. It's not like I have toggles to drop, so a single blue and I'm basically on to the next spawn. I can dig that, thanks for the info!

One thing that's worth mentioning: There's a very large difference between Quasar and the blaster nukes when it comes to -recovery. A blaster who nukes incurs a -1000% recovery penalty, which nullifies base recovery and nine times that (just in case he had eighteen applications of speed boost).
Quasar only has -100% recovery attached to it, so you only lose your base recovery. Stamina and set bonuses are enough that you maintain a positive endurance gain even after the nuke. Granted, it probably works out to half of base recovery, but any ally boosts on you are also working. There have been times where I went from Quasar to Stygian Circle almost immediately.
Where to now?
