i have a question, +% melee weapon damage nodes and one handed melee weapon damage nodes.. do they increase the projectile damage at all? since it's based on weapon damage..?	Posted by reevz#5896 on Feb 8, 2013, 1:06:40 AM Quote this Post
The projectiles are not Melee damage. Increasing your Melee Damage does not work. Increased Damage with (for example) Swords will work. Increased Damage with Melee Weapons should work (it's damage with a Melee Weapon, even though it's not Melee Damage).	Posted by Vipermagi#0984 on Feb 8, 2013, 5:01:03 AM Valued Poster Quote this Post
What passive nodes more effective for Lighting strike: a) % damage with 1h melee weapons (or maces) b) many int and mana nodes to take high lvl Wrath aura (and maybe other damaging auras) What will give more dps for initial hit and projectiles? I mean - if auras give full bonus to LS, maybe its better to take low-dmg dagger, but with insane attack speed, and to spam LS as ranged attack, and projectiles will get good damage from auras?

Isn't very functional until you've propped it up with several (mana intensive) gems and traits. Please consider making the ability ride over/around objects or ricochet like spark. Vouch this. The lightning projectiles should be able to go over obstructions, similar to most other projectiles in the game.	Posted by MeepImaSheep#7196 on Feb 8, 2013, 6:28:51 PM Quote this Post
Perhaps you would also like to make instant hits with auto-aim over voice command or brain commands too, without having to click the mouse.	Posted by aryosgr#3381 on Feb 9, 2013, 9:26:17 AM Quote this Post
i would love to see the projectiles go through some stuff, but my top complain right now its about the spread with the basic skill, the 3 projectiles just have a HUGE spread, making the skill quite useless in a lot of maps that you need go to through tight corridors, or even some places like lunaris temple that you have just some inches to move, and you are left with a single target melee skill IGN -> daropo	Posted by daropo123#7984 on Feb 9, 2013, 9:03:38 PM Quote this Post

WB works well in narrow corridors, and elsewhere, you can WB around in order to get in a good position to use LS (e.g. standing in the corner of a square room is pretty strong).

Currently I run LS>Elemetnal damage>blood magic>faster attacks>lmp Do you think I could do anything with this build to maximize dps? Maybe replace lmp with chain or faster attacks with X? blood magic is 100% needed	Posted by Daironn#6079 on Feb 15, 2013, 3:58:14 AM Quote this Post
Is LMP agreed upon to be better than GMP> (Or is the -50% damage too much, even with a leveled GMP to offset some of it?) Or is the spread pretty much the same? And how much GCP would I need to get a good quality lightning strike?	Posted by Anruijin#6650 on Feb 15, 2013, 3:25:08 PM Quote this Post
