I'm levelling an Psi Monk with Active Psi Use and like most other chars it takes ages doiing so.
I've noticed some differences in spell effeciency and would like to ask experienced APUs for Info.
Bolt / Ball / Lance: Afaik these are all single target attacks, with the lance offer greater damage and range at lower rate of fire. Is that correct? Are there any big differences between Bolt and Ball?
Ball Blast: These are Balls with some Area of Effect Damage, right?
Halo / Beam: From my experience, these are stronger attack versions but greatly decrease in damage by range. For best effects i should be in hugging range, correct? Anything else where these two differ?
Barrel / Multi Bolt: These are for area effect. In my experience they differ by Barrel absolutely suck with low damage and big chance to rather damage yourself, while Multi Bolt works good and also on range. For targetting I found it usefull to aim for ground or objects and not NPCs directly. Somethign that I'm missing here?
Energy / Lightning / Fire / Poison: These are the general damage types. Using them in PVE against NPCs, does it make any difference which type i use or do all work equal? How about the Ice Spells that are also availble?
PVE Leveling in General: I've went from Plaza I Aggi Cellar on to Milbase or Storage Lvl 8 for hunting Cyclops / Butchee. Multi Energy Bolt turned out to be my best friend and most effective, Barrel totally sucked for low damage low range and oftenly igniting directly under my own feet. You got any tips on where to Level nicely?
Thanks in advance
