Insanity & Force Storm are better.

 

Force Storm kills an entire room of enemies, Insanity disables an entire room. Both require Will saves, hence most enemies won't save against it.

I don't really think there is much of a difference between Stasis Field and Insanity, especially after you hit Level 25. The choice between the two is purely down to what sort of path you want to take (LS or DS) and to save FPs. I'd say Insanity is marginally better since you can affect multiple targets a lot sooner than the light side option.

 

Death-field looses hands down compared to the lightning storm. I almost never bother with it since the vitality you might gain from using it is little, compared to what you can get from using master heal or some of the stronger medpacs.

Eh, unfortunately the Dark Side Powers are always more effective. The Light Side powers are usually buffs and they're either ineffective or the fight is over when you've finally applied them.

I tend to like insanity because you spend the game fighting DS characters, but I usually don't use either... And Storm. Most definitely.

Insanity, and Force Storm, except when you get low on health in the Sith Cave glitch (Like there I use Storm>Storm>Storm>Storm>Death Field>Storm)

[Nihilus5078]

Hm, kind of thought most people would think the edge would go to Insanity, but how about Force Crush or Force Storm. Another question I forgot to put in. Though, one thing is that if your vitality is like maybe 12 points out of say like 300, and going into a room with 5 enemies in it, using Death Field, even if all them save it, you'll still possibly get around 90+ vitality healed.

Hmm, I find that the higher-end vitality recovery packs (or just having a LS Jedi in the party with maxed heal) to be more effective than Death Field in the long run.
