Which is actually more worth having, saying they have the same EE %. Not sure which way to go on my magician.

The 3 best charms is lighting, ice and earth imo
I hope that narrows down your search some.

They're all the same damage wise.  Winds are the cheapest.  Ices and Fires are the most expensive.

This is not true about the same damage.

Ice and earth have a more consistent damage per hit than the rest of the elements and saves you more mana per attack.
Lightning has some very high hits and some very low hits randomly.

It's really a moot point now. Just go with the highest ee charm at each level you target since megacrits no longer rely on prof.

Agreed. It's all about EE, and preference. I like consistency so I use earths :)

Loving my winds. :)

You could say lightning is "best" since ALL classes can use it.

True, they are the most consistent...but how does it save you mana per attack?

Now that the prof gain is so minimal, I'd say at this point, which charms you go with don't matter too much, just go with the one that has the highest EE.

well if you take a 200ee lighting that will do a low hit sometimes, when it hits low, that means that that attack was wasted mana.
And when you compare to an 200ee ice charm that has nice average damage all the time for every hit then you will see that less mana wasted over a time span of 30 seconds compared to the lightning.
