I just wanted to make this thread because it just seems like people don't like using the charged attack on their weapons (unless it's arcane,but I'll leave those out because those are different).My knowledge of other classes has gone a bit rusty,so lemme know if there's any mistakes. :)
1.First off, it depends on what kind of weapon you are using. If you are using the Staff,Daggers,or Shield, you can get better benefits out of the charged attack. Bows,Guns,and 2-Handed weapon,not so much (unless it's a mythic which has the same benefits as Staff,Daggers,and Shield)
2.Here are comparisons between normal and charged attacks:
Normal Attack (Staff,Shield,Daggers):
-Basic Damage
-Hits up to 2 enemies
-Hits fast
Charged Attack (Staff,Shield,Daggers):
-Double Damage
-Hits up to 4 enemies (3 if Daggers)
-Increased proc chance? (I'm uncertain,but I'll leave this here)
-Chance to stun enemies
Normal Attack (Guns,Bows,2-Handed):
-Basic Damage
-Hits up to 1 enemy
-Hits fast
Charged Attack (Guns,Bows,2-Handed):
-Double Damage
-Hits up to 1 enemy (nearby enemies if mythic)
-Increased proc chance?
-Chance to stun enemies
3.So you are probably wondering,when you should use normal and charged attacks,don't worry I'll give you my opinion on when to use normal or charged weapon attacks:
-Use normal attack when fighting small groups of enemies or a boss
-Use charged attack on big,extremely crowded groups of enemies,or if you feel like doing some big damage.
Anyways I hope this helps you guys out on when to use normal or charged weapon attacks. :)
