Champions Online: Energy Projector Power Sets

The Champions Online team has produced a great article about the Energy Projector power sets and the differences between them. Find out what they are and how to use them below:

At first, many of the Energy Projector power sets probably seem identical. But a great deal of work went into making the differences, which appear to be irrelevant subtleties to an amateur, be game-changing to a professional.

In general, Fire and Electricity are ranged, with easy access to Area-of-Effect damage. But it's not as simple as that. For example, Fire is all very much about location-based AOE. For example: I hit you, and I cause damage to any friends that are near you. Electricity has arc-based damage: I hit you, and an arc will bounce to a friend of yours, and that arc could be double or triple what the Fire damage would be. Fire damage tends to linger over time, while Electricity has more up-front damage. Fire is built more to be a "fire and forget" set, where I blast the person, they catch on fire, and then I can ignore them. Whereas Electricity is built to beat-down one guy and then move on to the next set. To a novice player, they may feel very similar in what they do, but to an expert player, it's an entirely different playing style.
