i know theres some skill upgrades that only work on a charged skill
but what if i didnt get any of those upgrades on my shield, and i did get othet upgrades that doesnt require full charge, does it make any difference at all weather i charge the shield or not?
and same about fireball, i know some upgrades are for a charged skill only, but what if click and let go right away, does the fireball do less demage? or does it only effect that full charge upgrades to not happen on a non-full charge attack?
thats basically my question, thnx =]
I think that you get higher dmg when you charge (maybe 25%), for shield is higher value of max damage absorbed etc..
I experimented with this once (shield) while flagging. I think I found that charging does provide a slight difference in damage taken from the ctf flag.
I'll have to experiment again to make sure.
EDIT: It does make a difference.

Charged shield adds approximately 10% dmg reduction to shield.

Here's what I do:
I lead with a charged fireball to leave the enemies reeling. Then use charged shield for the like 2 sec invincibility and damage reduction. After that I use charged lightning and spam auto attack until fire is cooled down. Then I TAP it, because the 2 secs or so you take to charge your fire could very well mean the difference between life and death (esp. when you're against some really hard-hitting rogues). Then lightning, auto, fire, and so on.
I sometimes vary between charged fire-charged lightning-charged shield and charged fire-charged shield-charged lightning like I typed above. It depends on my team; if they're not so good, shield before light would be best.
The damage on tapping is less than charging but sometimes its worth just not charging.
