Arc not able to Shock anymore

So after 0.2.0 update I tried Arc again to see how is new Arc change feel like, and I notice that even Orb of storm or Spark with no 100% more chance to shock, they still shock enemies occasionally but not for Arc. I tried to invest Chance to inflict element, Critical chance, chance to shock but no luck

0.2.0e Patch Notes
"
Arc now releases damaging pulses when Shocked enemies are Hit, but can no longer Shock.

Arc now has a "Payoff" gem tag.
I see. So they should fix the Arc description, because it is not mentioned

Mash the clean
So who knows it is changed will know where to look at. What I meant is the "description" of the skill, not the tag, not inside the status info. I am one of those do not read long patch notes to play the game.

If you dont want to read descriptions of skills and then become confused why something is not happening the way you want it to, thats on you.


Firestorm cant ignite, has nothing in the "description" saying it cant, nothing changed from .1 to .2 for it.


Open up the skills, read.

I haven't had time to touch firestorm tbh. So simple mind person like me cannot look directly into the description and be able to understand how the skill works ?

You're assuming everyone new to PoE to be able to know and look/read everywhere devs put in?

Anyway, if I don't post this I would likely don't know where to look at beside pointing at the skill gem and read description. Can't argue with someone has more experiences in games to know where to look

Thank you. I will login later and read again.
Don't feel bad the games UI is trash.
