Patch history

8 changes
0.2.0g
Direct change

Lightning Bolt's base radius is now 0.8 metres (previously 0.5 metres).

0.1.1
Direct change

The Lightning Bolt Skill granted by the Choir of the Storm Unique Amulet has been renamed to Greater Lightning Bolt to differentiate it from the Skill granted by Staves. Triggered Greater Lightning Bolts are now unable to trigger a subsequent Greater Lightning Bolt if the first was a Critical Hit. Greater Lightning Bolt now deals roughly 3.5 times more base Lightning Damage compared to Lightning Bolt.

0.4.0
Direct change

Choir of the Storm's Lightning Bolt skill now has 5 Cooldown uses (previously 1).

0.3.0
Direct change

The following skills found as inherent skills on Wands and Staves now deal approximately 12% more Damage from skill level 11 onwards: Bone Blast, Chaos Bolt, Decompose, Firebolt, Freezing Shards, Lightning Bolt, Power Siphon, and Solar Orb.

0.3.0
Direct change

Lightning Bolt (granted by Choir of the Storm Unique Amulet): Now correctly typed as a Triggered Skill. This means it will scale off of increases and reductions to Triggered Skill Damage as well as other similar stats, and also means it will no longer be capable of generating Energy to Trigger other Skills.

0.3.0
Direct change

Fixed a bug where the Lightning Bolt Skill granted by the Choir of the Storm Unique Amulet was not considered a Triggered Skill for damage modifiers.

0.2.0
Direct change

Lightning Bolt now has 200% more Chance to Shock (previously 100%).

0.2.0
Direct change

The Choir of the Storm Unique Amulet once again triggers Lightning Bolt (previously Greater Lightning Bolt).
