    Hi! I know all the guides say to max energy blast first but since now you can stay transformed 24/7 wouldn't it be better to max shockwave? Recently advanced to Marauder and I'm kinda torn between the two

    Shockwave is almost never used. The DPS on shockwave is bad because the animation time is too long.

    You can probably do a quick charge corkscrew, backspin, into 1-2 somersault kicks in the time one full Shockwave animation.

    If they cut down on shockwave channel time/lag it would be pretty good since trans is up 24/7.

    Blast is good cause its high dmg % and comes out almost instantly

    I would DEFINITELY advice maxing shockwave after charge and blast.
    The reason being is when you train at ToT (levels 120-135), dragon strike fills the gap between shockwaves, making for a pretty good mobing combo and a good way to charge your bubble for blast.
    I'd take it over energy drain.

    So yeah, as said by the guy above me ^, dont max first, but max right after over drain.

    Thanks for the replies guys I have another question about energy charge
    is there a way to charge it fast? I putted one point into shockwave to try it and I noticed it doesnt charge it?
    also it says in Energy Charge description that it triggers the effects of Power Guard and Power Stance... what is Power Guard and Power Stance? ;o

    Power Guard reflects on hit damage (touch damage)
    Power Stance has a 90% chance of not knock backing when hit.

    These only are in effect when charge is at full with the bubble on
