Random Damage on apu spells

[enigma_b17]

was testing this on the other day. got a pe to stand still while i shot him with nrg beam (using a capped apu btw). I then recorded the damage info and tried it again with the holy lightning. i compared my results to find out that i did more damage on the nrg beam. What is the point in having rare apu spells (which should do more damage then there non rare spells) if the damage they do is random?

Have you capped the RoF or damage on the Energy beam..

How's about capped the HL..


Because lower TL weapons can be better than higher TL ones if they have lower stat's or you've not got very high damage %..

[enigma_b17]

i believe they were both capped :\

[Q`alooaith]

tell us the number's damage % you got on the spell's, no point saying "I think they where both capped" and such if your not sure..

You need more tests. The HL has a higher max damage than the energy beam.

the HL can reach a higher damage, but there is a point where the energy beam hits higher than the lower end of the HL, so there is a cross over point, you can see it just hunting, sometimes you can get 300 damage to a warbot with beam and then a HL can sometimes do 200, but them the beam wont do 500+ damage like HL can
