Lightning Strike or Static Strike?

I find that Static Strike plays much better overall with better DPS and AOE, but it is very handy to swap in a Lightning Strike against certain things you just don't want to get near.

Yep.


Though, if I'm farming Docks or Barracks or wherever, I'll use LS because I've personally found it to be a bit quicker for clearing.

There was another big discussion on this.

A lot of people don't like LS. I love it, I've changed to focus on the projectile damage instead of the melee hit and now I love it even more.

I'm looking at the enemy damage in 2.0 and wondering how the fk evasion melee is supposed to survive up to end game maps.

So I changed to using only LS projectiles and fighting only a range.

Surprisingly the damage was actually better when I built for projectiles. And ofc being at range gives me 5 times more survivability as nothing can get too close to me.

So with LS you can fight at TRUE range, with a shield. The only others that can do this are ST and power siphon/kb.
