Patch history
4 changesFixed a bug that caused Lightning Spear to occasionally Chain when it should not.
Lightning Spear Attack Speed is now 60% of base (from 50%) and deals ~5% more Damage at all gem levels.
Fixed a bug where Storm Lance and Lightning Spear were not able to be supported by Perpetual Charge.
Lightning Spear: Now fires 5 secondary Bolts at all Levels (previously 3-8 at Gem levels 1-20). No longer deals more damage when consuming a Frenzy Charge.
