Why is that stupid?
If you spend them on multiple damage spells, you can use one while the other cools -- if you put all your points in 1 spell, you only have 1 spell to shoot, then you have to wait for the cooldown and have nothing. Sure, if you are lucky and the extra point on the 1 damage spell equates to a kill, but the extra point to either was only worth about 30 more points -- not like it was double or something.
I'll give that a shot though, thanks!
Still lots of stuck points considering I have it on 'easy'...
