Lighting charge stronger than blast?
So when I get up to 5 charges + blast effect i hit 200ks with lighting charge and only 100ks with blast? why is this? ik it may be the element weakness, but its the same thing on ice element base monsters as well. if someone can please explain this to me it would be greatly appreciated

Remember, Blast is a 1v1 skill and lightning is a mobbing skill. You'll find that at higher levels when you get into more bossing that blast is more effective in 1v1 situations. Also boss damage should raise Blast's damage by a greater factor than lightnings, but I wont get into that math...
Also, as mentioned, Blast has a +1 line hyper skill as well as +2 lines from advanced charge giving it a total of 10 lines. I'm sure once you max it out fully you'll find it out damaging lightning.
If you need some proof, fully buffed I do 2.2m per line on lightning ( 2.2m * 5 lines = 11m total per cast ) and on blast I do 1.85m ( 1.85m * 10 lines = 18.5m total per cast ).
drkmace i agree with mace i didnt kno that either atm my pally is lvl 123
oh ic now. i didnt know pallys get a hyper that doubles blast lines. my pally is currently 128 lol thx for enlightening me
really wish the blast animation didn't look so weird. its not bad, but its just.... weird D:
and am i crazy or is it slower than charges?
well with lightning charge i hit like 1.2m per line and with blast 900k-1m, but remember blast do more hits, so lightning charge its great for mobbing and like always blast is the bossing skill
@Ahmy you are correct
currently 82k self buffed.
Nothing too spectacular
[quote=OdiNxCore]I crit 400ks with blast, so for me that's 4m damage (10 lines)
With Lightning charge, I crit 600k, so 3m (5 lines)
3m mob att, and 4m single target DPS.
That's with all buffs active including charge and blast buff.[/quote]
May I be so bold as to ask of what type of attack range you possess?

blast is a single target bossing/buff attack. It may hit for less per line than charge but it also hits 2x as many lines (when you get the hyper). In other words, the total damage of blast on a single monster is greater than that of charge.
look at the skills
the % damage of lightning charge is supposed to be more than blast
it the fact that blast hits double times, thats why its better for bossing
