lightning vs divine
So i recenly made it to Paladin (lvl 142 atm) and was wondering about something:
I always seem to do more damage with lightning charge instead of divine charge. even is i use lightning --> divine for the extra damage. like im hitting 150ks a line with lightning but only 90k a line with divine.
But divine says that it does 390% (only level 25 atm but i mean 5 sp wont change much) and lightning is 250%...
help? im confused

Rotate the charges to get 5 charges for blast.
I do blast, light, holy, light, holy, light, holy, blast.
The reason why Divine/Lightning is better than Blizzard/Lightning in terms of charging during a boss is because even with the Void Elemental and Combat Orders boosts for Blizzard Charge, Divine will deal higher damage due to the boost it gets from Lightning, and %Total/Boss Damage will have more of an effect on its damage than with Blizzard Charge.
Charge damage boosts from Blast, Void Elemental, Elemental Charge, and attacking debuffed enemies (stunned enemies from Lightning Charge with Divine Charge, for example) are all [b]multiplicative[/b].
However, for Divine Charge to outdamage Lightning Charge, you'll need at least 49% Total/Boss Damage. For bosses/Dojo, this is additive, but for basic things like training in HoH/Commerci/Evo/DIPQ, Blizzard/Lightning is better unless you have 49% Total Damage.
JoeTang of Southperry has a more [url=http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=47548&page=47]detailed explanation[/url] on why this happens.
Lightning charge is 460%, while divine charge is 405% at max level (without CO). Hence why you do more damage with lightning.
Lightning charge is superior than divine except on holy weak and lightning resistant/immune monsters.
yes, divine charge does more damage on bosses than lightning charge at around 100% boss damage
So do i ever use divine charge?
One of your skills give a passive boost to lightning and flame charge
