Passive Hyper Skills
I'm torn between Chain Lightning - Spread and Frozen Orb - Critical Chance. On one hand, I have 87% critical rate with 50% min and 76% max so I have both Frozen Orb and Chain Lightning always crit. On the other, I can hit up to seven enemies with Chain Lightning, but the 13% chance that Frozen Orb doesn't hit critical would leave a sour, unimpressive taste in my mouth.

I have:
-Chain Lightning Reinforce
-Chain Lightning Extra Hit
-Frozen Orb Reinforce
-Frozen Orb Critical
-Teleport Distance
I have a base critical rate of 87%, which means 100% with both Chain Lightning and Frozen Orb with the hyper skill. I'd like to hit more monsters with Chain Lightning, but all my damage comes from criticals with my max critical of 76%. I can't afford to get my base critical rate any higher, and any non-critical hit is underwhelming.
I went with:
Chain Lightning +20% Damage and +1 hit
Frozen Orb +20% Damage/Crit
Teleport Mastery - Range Increase
But I boss more than grinding, and when I *do* grind, usually for event drops, FO and GC are more than enough. FO Crit bonus gives me 97% Crit with it without having to waste a potential line or Alchemy pot/Monster Life slot. And seems like everyone gets the Tele range increase for mobility.
[quote=JVIaplevoyager]Its better to get +20% dmg for frozen orb, you can always get more crit later on.
At OP, get CL spread if you train more than you boss. However, id get CL spread even if you boss a lot because crit can always be gotten through upgrading, links etc. Seriously, hitting only 5 mobs with CL is way too little in a lot of cases.[/quote]
I've been working on maining my i/l, thanks for the info.
[quote=Viront]I'm curious as to where you allocated your other hyper skill points
I placed one into the distance increase for teleport, got all 3 of the chain lightning ones, and am planning to put the last into critical for frozen orb.[/quote]

Put in perspective what you do more.
If you boss more (Requiring more of Frozen Orb since you rarely use that while grinding), do the crit chance.
If you constantly attack more than 5 monsters, then you may want to do the spread.
