chain lightning vs lightning fury

[Terrapis]

wich skill does more damage the soso's CL skill or the amazons LF? and wich is more efectif in pvm?

[phool]

lightning is more effective than cl in pvm. Anyway, lf kills dense crowds faster than cl or lightning. cs kills large single targets faster than either and with small single targets they're about the same (1-2 hits depending). groups of about 2 properly positioned enemies cl is ideal, 3 properly positioned give lightning the edge, 4+ depends on position.

Make both builds and get a feel for the skills yourself, obviously it's not a question that can accurately be given a 1 word answer.

A sorc has lightning mastery which boosts CL a lot, but LF together with pierce can multiply very nicely. Versus dense crowds, LF is better, else CL, as already said.

Don't forget about close range, especially on big characters like bosses, for Sorc CB vs Amazon CS. It's pretty close, though, and who wins depends on gear.

As has been mentioned, LF is amazingly better for large amounts of monsters (especially something like cows), but not as good at handing a few.

...U cant compare these skills, as they arent even meant to be used in the same situations. CL=GFG scattered monster pwnage, LF=unbeatable dense pack pwnage. U cant compare them, it doesnt make sense.

Keep in mind that thanks to Blizzard's new braindead anti-dupe devices, Lightning Fury frequently crashes full games on Bnet (escecially Cows), more so if you carry a Torch I suppose. I'd use Lightning if I were to run cows; with Tele you can move away from leechers and get the drops, and you don't have to worry about crashing.

[crawlingdeadman]

whomsoever cows in a full game with a torch deserves to be dropped. there is no way a light sorc is faster at cows than a zon.

[phool]

Torch and LF isn't usually an issue if you're by yourself despite it being a full game, far more likely to drop a baal run.

Charged bolt is actually worse than lightning for killing baal.
