The madwoman Arianne believed she could cut a gem that would make for her a hood of lightning. "Lightning," she was heard to mutter "On my head!" Her body was discovered some weeks later, with no hair, clutching this gem.
Notes[]
- The effect does not stack, only being renewed.
- The chance to activate scales with the Proc Coefficient of each attack, and only triggers when the character lands a hit on an enemy, not when the character is hit.
- Note that the damage indicated is NOT dealt to every enemy, but rather split among up to 5 enemies in range (chosen randomly): 5 lightning bolts hit every second, and may damage a single target with more than one bolt.
Tips[]
- This gem works as a much weaker Conduit Pylon, but it does benefit from Lightning skill damage bonuses. However, since the gem has a limited range, it will prove more useful to a melee hero.
