Skill Usage
Lightning Bolt is an burst damage AoE skill used by mages often against groups of water element monsters. It strikes three times to each target surrounding the area of the blast. In addition, the damage is gradually diminished if targets caught in the lightning bolt are further away from the center. With it's low cooldown accompanied with high mana consumption, Lightning Bolt is capable of finishing off monsters in little time.
Lightning Bolt benefits from the following skills added effects:
Frost Nova: Although Thunderbolt is more acquainted with Flash Freeze to a damage bonus on single frozen targets, Lightning Bolt can be paired with Frost Nova to dish out a damage bonus of 50-75% on multiple frozen targets.
Wind Burst: If skill points are allocated into Wind Burst, affected enemies are caught in Mist, increasing their damage taken from a Lightning Bolt by 25% for six seconds. The combo of effects continue when a Lightning Bolt is used on a target afflicted with Mist, causing them to suffer Conductivity for three seconds. Conductivity causes the next Thunderbolt you cast on the target to deal 50% more damage and become stunned for two seconds.
Notes
- Lightning Bolt is also one of the few skills possessing a innate knockback effect, but much weaker when it comes to a Thunderbolt with an added knockback effect from a charm or equipment.
