Chain was fine yeah. Especially for annoying areas. But lighting just felt like since it took fewer blasts that its more worth the mana and time.


A typical lightning build maxes both though, yeah? Nothing stopping you from primarily using lightning until CL makes sense to use on occasion?

If you're rocking an infinity, realistically, is mana ever -really- an issue?



If mobs are scattered, i don't see why not. Hitting everything is inherently more dps than hitting only 4/12 mobs.

Does the scale tip at all for p8 vs p1? Or are we still very much team nova overall?


you skip scattered noob mobs and move on to the next pack you can one shot with lightning

This

No need to kill small scattered mobs
You only wanna kill packs unless you are running hc levelling jobs where it needs to be 100% safe
