Lightning

Of all the dark arts of the Sith, little can match the spectacle and devastation of force lightning, summoning intense discharges of pure energy, the lightning sorcerer overwhelms enemies with punishing damage from a distance, leaving them shaken and vulnerable if not dead.

Lightning for New Players

•  Lightning is long-range, making it easier to hit moving targets compared to melee characters for new players
•  Some abilities require that you stand still to use them, like a turret, but you have some options later on that makes this even easier to deal with and making it easy to move around
•  Most abilities can simply be used, you don’t need to activate them in any way first
•  I consider Lightning very fun and easy for new players!
