Chain lightning is the better of the two spells. Damaging more
than one enemy at a time is always the way to go. Mass
destruction...http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/skull.gif

my 2 cents.


it always ticked me off when a mage would cast chain lightning on my party. it hurt. if they summon yet another monster, no matter how tough, death spell can get rid of all summoned monsters. easy to manage. electricity damage on the other hand, only 2 of my characters have any resistance to it.

similarly, the enemy can quickly dispatch any summoned creatures.

i use figher most anyway, but when i am forced to use magic, i go for chain lightning. well, actually i most often fire of barrages of magic missiles and acid arrows (the _only_ must haves in the game cept for heal http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif ), but apart from that (and cloudkill, storm of vengeance, cone of cold, flamstrike, sunray, haste, entangle), i use chain lightining.

i scarcley use summons. most of the time they get interupted (i never get around to preparing) or killed right off. exception - monster summoning one to absorb time stops. ifs just funny to watch irenicus deailing about 500 damage to a rabid dog. i dont think i even have invisible stalker. might have written it for exp but i dont recall it.

Okey-dokey, it is settled then, Chain Lightning it is.

Thanks people. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

I prefer chain lightning - it can really do some damage if used correctly http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Out of all the summoning spells, I found inv stalker one of the rappier ones, I say go with chain lightning.

Everyone is voting for chain lightning because it atttacks everyone but invisible stalker allso attacks everyone because it is so hard it plows through them quikly no compitition INVISIBLE STALKER

Takes the Cake

Wow...Chain Lightning is better as it is a quicker spell. When you cast it you deal average damage to all enemies, which is quite usefull when soloning. If you spell trigger 3 chain light.. you can get rid from a bunch of foes at once.

Whoops sorry, Chain Lighting is really top notch! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Invisible Stalkers are barely a slowdown for the enemies in TOB... Use Chain Lightning, and you have a chance to clear out a small army of little buggers... ;) Spider Spawn is better when you reach a good level and start pulling a duo of swordspiders eachtime, and almost all Monster Summonings are crap of course... lol That was pointless...
