DarthRaylast Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) hello i am a lvl 41 assasin so i dont know much about high lvl gaming i am saying only for PvP where i focus my game and not in PvE well i was wondering does the surging charge(and updates saber conduit and static charges) worth 7 skill tree points? let me explain surging charge gives 25% change to do X damage and lightning 50% to do almost half X/2 if i am right so surg do more damage in a lot of hits but lightning does less but more often so with LC i have a standar damage that in 3-4 hits it does more than surg because of % change of triggering and if i ignore the chances and get the SC for Discharge(which is a great skill) why should i take its upgrades? i mean 25% chance on hit to get 10 force every 10 seconds?...wow only high elite battles will last that much not PvP(and if it last it will be lasting for 18 secs the most,if it is not 1v1) neather non flashpoint exp and static charges is good(but it is still usefull only if i am lucky so i can get it above 3 stacks in 1rst-2nd rotation) AND it needs 3 points in Saber Conduit so my question is does it really worths it in high lvl? i know there are no damage meters so we cant be sure but i want your opinion...i am playin with SC atm but i was thinking to play with lightning like this http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#200McZGGrMzMrztzZcM.1 thanks a lot and this is NOT a hating post,i dont say "FIX SURGING CHARGE BLAH BLAH BAH" i just ask for opinions may the force be with you Edited January 16, 2012 by DarthRaylast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripplers Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 When my SC does an extra 2-300 DMG and discharge crits for 2-2800 I giggle. I think it's pretty good. But I'm a newb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griad Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 When i was deception specced i would prefer the surging charge because of the high damage it does when you use discharge, with 5 stacks i crit for almost 4k and this makes this a perfect finisher on a player combined with assassinate. Lightning Charge: Deals 1448 periodic energy damage over 18 seconds. Dark Charge: Strikes up to 5 nearby enemies, dealing 377 - 441 internal damage and decreasing the targets' accuracy by 5% for the next 18 seconds. Surging Charge: Deals 930 - 995 internal damage.

upzie Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 you use surging charge for the burst - My record is 6.6k crit with SC. So ye its deffinatly worth it, as you want to burst ppl down as deception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthRaylast Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 yea i said ok whith the surging charge cause of discharge but my main question is about the 2 upgrades it gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripplers Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 With the upgraded Static charge the effects add up quickly making the effect present almost every CD. I feel it's worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfreudHC Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Surging Charge is probably the best for endgame PVE due to the massive damage, but more importantly the Force-regen it provides if spec'd right. In PVP I always use Dark Charge for extra survivability and AOE on people capping nodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
