Are the multi-bolt-lightning modules as good as the barrels? I tried both and really, the barrels are easier to use. The multi-bolts are a tad glitchy.

edit: however... the old problem of mobs in walls.... the multis take care of that shit.

only APU spells to use while leveling: enrgy bolt, holy energy bolt, energy halo, holy energy halo, energy beam.


or at least i think so


I assume you are not talking about PvP?

Multi energy bolts are direct damage and aoe plus you dont have to be aiming on somthing to cast it. They do good damage and have lots of aoe, like as much if not more then barrels. I dont know why everyone hates them becouse i gained insane levels with them at crp by casting them into the rooms when ontop of those ledges on the walls. Im still trying to figure out why everyone hates them. Try them for yourself before you say they are horrable becouse lots of weapons are labled as horrable when they are still very viable. Plasma rifle and whyatt earp for instance. Try em for yourself.

Probably because ppl are trying to cast it in third person, and like energy barrel, it's one of those spells that castin it in third person just isn't a good idea.

(excluding rare barrels of course)

Thanks guys. :)

Yep, El Farid is my next stop. For now it's launchers, I can down them in about 5 seconds atm with my holy energy halo. 10 more psi for holy energy barrel and I'll never look at another launcher. :D

edit: and, any warbot silly enough to jump me goes down in about 30 seconds. :)

Multi Lightning bolt is better, one of my favorite apu spells actualy.

I never used barrel, it's too unpredictable. Most of the time it'd go where I wanted but, it could just as likely hit a wall and end up killing the team. Multi Lightnin bolt though, is instant damage and easy to aim. The tradeoff is with barrel you can cast a couple times then hide while it kills, vs having to be out in the open shooting the multi lightnin bolt. At the Holy level for each, their damage output wasn't that much different the last time I tried them. Barrel costs more to cast, but lasts longer. I even used it in pvp sometimes, since almost noone does, it always suprised people.

another advantage of the multi lightning spell is that it works in third person (as in it goes where you aim it, not the floor below you.)

Try using multi bolt in PvP, its funny watching your enemy go blind. Gives you that extra second to stack poison/fire/death on them.
