I ' ll be waiting ! I know you won ' t see my edit otherwise so just fyi it was supposed to be 0 not 1 lmao . <| sep |> It ' s as accurate as the regular shot , just 3 x P Is it worth the energy drain ? This is harder to answer . It ' s highly situational . Whenever fighting a Legion or Tone , your goal should be to try and have enough energy at all times for a Vortex if you need it . That should always be a priority against those two . Dps wise , Ion ' s Laser Shot shoulder ' Q ' laser is less damage per point of energy than Triple Shot Splitter is , and therefore a lot less efficient . So for damage you should look to your Triple Splitter first if available and Laser Shot second . If you need to regen energy you just pelt with regular Splitter shots and try to get crits assuming you have the talent where crits give you Energy , which you should for the most part . Energy management is how you do well with Ion , so know your opponent and try to dps efficiently . Edit I need to recheck numbers to make sure I didn ' t get this backwards O . oEdit 2 I did get it backwards , Triple Shot Splitter is more energy efficient than shoulder laser according to these numbershO 0 Dv 5 FJ 1 HSv 7 JsPEdcfQpoELRkgedit ? pageIdteltel # gidtel . Triple Shot does 68 damage per point of energy and Laser Shot does between 2 . 85 . 6 damage per point of energy . Laser Shot just helps you burst , but I wouldn ' t sacrifice the ability to Vortex Shield to do so . Unloading all of your energy into Triple Shot will net you between 63608480 damage max damage if you crit 100 %, min if you don ' t crit at all , versus all of it into a couple Laser Shots is 5600 at the most .
