Charged Brawl V Energy Punch?
Havoc Punch V Bone Smasher?
Thunder Strike V Total Focus?

Charged Brawl and Energy punch are equal damage wisely,
Havoc Punch and Bone Smasher are also equal damage wisely,
However, Thunder Strike is a bit weaker than Total focus because it's an AoE as well!

And the fact that /elec has a lot of widely resisted smashing component, wheres energy protections are much less common... and /elec does knockback and /energy stuns


 

Posted

Yeah, because the Energy Melee attacks have no smashing component at all...

Never said /energy didn't had smashing, but its quite less compared to /elec, and it's really noticeable when playing both

NRG has powerboost, nuf said
Powerboosted holds, powerboosted stuns, powerboosted aid self, powerboosted traveling, powerboosted draining.

So yeah, elec has more dmg, nrg has powerboost

I can't speak for the figures so I don't want to go there but I guess it depends on the reason behind the question - one important thing to consider is the secondary effects of these powers and Elec will give significant -end drain too

So if it's purely about damage my experience would say Energy has the edge but if it's about the usefulness of the set, I'd give Electric the edge.

But hey that's the beauty of this game, you might get a different experience

wait so electric is more resisted than energy... well last time i checked elec and nrg both do nrg damaga and nrg has more smashin damage in it that elec.

plus the first nrg attack is for knockback, and elec doesn't have much nockback does it??

plus nrg has all the benefits of stuff like power boost, boost range etc wereas elec is a bit less buff based and more attack damage based.

I'd say that Thunderstrike is all the knockback you need in one set. Elec has its fill

Then I'd prompt you to check again. /Elec has quite a bit more smashing than /nrg

Yeah it doesn't, well unless you forget havoc punch, lightning clap and thunder strike ofc

Actually no, /nrg has a more dmg and is less resisted than /elec. /nrg is based on buffs and /elec on mez (you can get end drain, stun, hold and immob out of it), but /nrg stuns with almost each secondary attack so...

But elec has powersink, very wonderful power after a nuke They are well matched to eachother, at least way more compared to the other secondairies.

And offcourse the looks are important, if you dont like the red pompom balls..

/Elec means that you will get Thunderstrike before lvl 30 making for Sirens Call fun...

Yeah, I used to love /elec blasters in sirens when I still played my stalkie... they were such easy kills when they used thunderstrike


 

Posted

I put the damage comparison with secondry effects up earlier.

Yeah you just put what I said, that /elec has a bigger smashing component than /nrg... but now we are not dealing with dmg, but with how thunderstrike makes an /elec blaster an easy kill to stalkers... so try and keep up.. sheesh
