Shoulung Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I’ve currently got lightning bolt and Zapp for ST attacks, but that leaves a lot of downtime. What’s best to use for a third? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulung Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 My secondary is storm; son of Thor theme. Neither of those sounded like good damage options, so just curious what people went with. Guessing my epic pool might be another option when I get there in a few levels.

Tesla Cage would be your hardest hitting attack actually. In fact with Procs Tesla Cage will deal over double the damage Zapp inflicts. That's why people have been taking long recharge hold attacks in certain sets. With proper proc slotting those holds hit like a truck and out perform the Sets Tier 9 attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkir Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 What's wrong with using Ball Lightning? It may be a targeted AOE, but its damage is still very good. It's similar to Fire Blast's Fireball, you still use it in your attack chain because its DPS is higher than flares, but in order to use it without flares you need an obscene amount of recharge. You end up using fireball and flares in most fire blast ST attack chains, unless you have all that recharge to make flares unneeded. A proc'd out tesla cage is also a very good option as the dmg would be fantastic, but then you would want to make sure to use musculature alpha and not spiritual or agility. Getting all the slots needed for a top build might be difficult though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoulung Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Why muscular? Thought global recharge didn’t affect proc chance. Thanks for the replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the way the alpha slot works is as an enhancement to each of your powers. It is not global recharge, instead think of it as an extra enhancement in all of your powers.
