javazon lightning bolt or power strike?

[ToeBasher]

all of the guides ive ready, say to max lighting bolt when you have all the other required skills maxed. however, i find lighting bolt alot more useful then charged strike. since they're both snyergies, does it even matter whether which one gets maxed?

[BlushNine]

Does it really matter? You'll never use either of them anyway. How is Lightning Bolt ever useful when you have CS and LF?

Lightning bolt has its uses at least.
With 100% plysical damage converted to lightning damage (-25% weapon damage) and low mana cost, its absolutely viable PvP-wise.

Compared to the all-loved LF:

Lightning bolt:
Lightning Damage: Starts at 1-40 and increases to 1-1780 by skill level 40
Mana Cost: Starts at 6 and increases to 15.7 by skill level 40
-25% to Weapon Damage

Lightning fury:
Lightning Damage: Starts at 1-40 and increases to 1-1560 by skill level 40
Number of Bolts: Starts with 2 and increases to 41 by skill level 40
Mana Cost: Starts at 10 and increases to 29.5 at skill level 40
Range: 10 yards

It may be viable but do you use it?

[MuffinMan]

Given the choice between LB and PS, yes, I would use it.

[ToeBasher]

yes i use it all the time in pvp. most of the pvp javazons i see use charged strike and lightning bolt as their main skills..
