Reave or Lightning Strike

[RocketMan]

Alright so I'm playing a duelist and I can't decide if I should Reave or Lightning Strike

Depends on the weapon you're using and where on the tree you're going.
Lightning strike is usually used with tempest shield (so in a weapon/shield stance) with resolute technique in a non crit build and some shock nodes.
Reave is more used in a crit build, generally dex oriented double daggers or rapiers.

Thank you that really helped

Both works for Duelist the problem with lightning strike though is that if there is wall or obstacle that is it for ur AoE, while reave ignores it.

Reave is thought to be more OP than LS.
